Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film focuses on apolitical themes of personal life, work, and relationships, without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies. Its narrative centers on individual experiences and quirky humor rather than societal issues.
The movie features a predominantly white and mainstream cast without explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative, a character-driven comedy about an actress working in a furniture store, does not appear to critically portray traditional identities or center on explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The series features a recurring gay character, Kevin, whose sexuality is acknowledged but not central to the plot. His portrayal is incidental, neither strongly affirming nor problematic, presenting his identity as a normal characteristic without significant narrative focus.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Easy to Assemble is an original web series created by and starring Illeana Douglas. It does not adapt pre-existing source material or feature legacy characters, thus no characters were established as a different gender in prior canon.
Easy to Assemble is an original web series, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a biopic. Its characters were created for the show, meaning there are no prior canonical or historical racial depictions to compare against. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
