Leans Progressive
Primary
The series focuses on the apolitical themes of individual self-discovery and social navigation during adolescence. Its narrative champions personal growth and self-acceptance as solutions to the challenges of high school life, without engaging in broader political or ideological critiques.
The series features a visibly diverse cast, including a prominent Asian character, but does not explicitly recast traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on typical teen experiences, portraying traditional identities neutrally without explicit critique or making DEI themes central to the storyline.
Secondary
Awkward. features Ming Huang, a lesbian character whose coming out and relationships are handled with respect and normalcy. Her identity is depicted with dignity and agency, and her experiences are integrated into the narrative without being a source of mockery or degradation, contributing to an overall affirming portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
