Strong Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The show primarily focuses on apolitical themes of workplace absurdity and social awkwardness, consciously balancing its critiques of corporate culture and various social trends without promoting a specific political ideology or solution.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The series features a primarily traditional cast without explicit race or gender swaps of roles. Its narrative focuses on comedic situations and character foibles, rather than offering critical portrayals of traditional identities or making explicit DEI themes central to its storytelling.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NegativeConfidence: High

The IT Crowd frequently uses LGBTQ+ identities, particularly gay and trans identities, as comedic plot devices. Characters often pretend to be gay or trans for personal gain or to avoid social situations, leading to humor derived from misunderstandings rather than affirming portrayals. These depictions often lean into problematic stereotypes or use identity as a prop without significant positive counterbalance.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The IT Crowd is an original sitcom with characters created specifically for the show. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical characters whose gender could have been altered for this series.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The IT Crowd is an original British sitcom, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a reboot. Its characters were created for the show, meaning there is no prior canon or historical basis for their race to be established differently. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
