Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Strong Right

Primary

Political: Strong RightConfidence: High

Last Man Standing is rated as clearly right (+2) because its central thesis explicitly promotes conservative ideology and traditional values, consistently critiquing progressive viewpoints through its protagonist and the resolution of its thematic conflicts.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The series features a predominantly traditional cast without explicit DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative consistently portrays traditional identities, particularly the white male protagonist, in a positive light, often exploring and defending conservative values without critique.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NeutralConfidence: Medium

The show features a recurring lesbian character, Carol, whose identity is presented incidentally. Her sexual orientation is acknowledged without being a primary focus for either positive affirmation or negative stereotyping, resulting in a neutral overall portrayal.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Last Man Standing is an original sitcom, not an adaptation or reboot of existing material. All characters were created for the show, meaning there are no pre-established characters from a prior canon whose gender could have been swapped.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Last Man Standing is an original sitcom, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a historical depiction. All characters were created for the show, meaning there is no prior canonical or historical race to establish a baseline for comparison. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
