Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central thesis explicitly critiques authoritarian state power, censorship, and the suppression of human rights during Taiwan's White Terror, aligning with progressive ideologies that emphasize systemic injustice and the abuse of governmental authority.

The film features a predominantly white main cast, consistent with traditional casting practices, and does not appear to incorporate explicit race or gender swaps for significant roles. Its narrative focuses on a white male protagonist without critically portraying traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.

Secondary

The film 'Detention' (2003) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its plot, focusing on a group of students and teachers trapped in a school with a killer. Consequently, there is no direct portrayal or impact on LGBTQ+ representation.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Detention (1999) is an original animated series. It is not an adaptation of prior source material, nor does it feature historical figures or legacy characters from previous installments. Therefore, no characters exist whose gender could have been established elsewhere and subsequently swapped.

Detention (1999) is an original animated series. Its characters were created for the show and do not have prior canonical or historical racial depictions from source material or previous installments that could be subject to a race swap.
