Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Progressive

Primary

The series explicitly promotes progressive ideology by critiquing systemic failures in addressing sexual assault, bullying, and mental health within a school environment, advocating for greater empathy, accountability, and institutional reform.

The series features a diverse cast reflecting a contemporary high school setting. Its narrative explores complex social issues and individual behaviors without explicitly critiquing traditional identities as a central theme.

Secondary

13 Reasons Why features multiple LGBTQ+ characters, including openly gay Tony Padilla, whose stable relationship is depicted positively. Other characters like Alex Standall and Tyler Down explore their bisexuality and gender identity, respectively, with arcs focused on self-discovery and acceptance. While some characters face struggles related to their identity, these are generally framed as external societal pressures, contributing to a net positive portrayal.

The show '13 Reasons Why' features several characters, including Jessica Davis, Courtney Crimson, Zach Dempsey, and Marcus Cole, who were generally depicted as white in the source novel but are portrayed by actors of different races (Black, Asian) in the television adaptation.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The 2017 show "13 Reasons Why" is an adaptation of Jay Asher's 2007 novel. All primary and significant characters from the source material maintain their original established gender in the screen adaptation.
