Leans Progressive
Primary
Gravity Falls is rated 0 because its central conflict and resolution are rooted in universal themes of family, friendship, and confronting evil, rather than promoting specific political ideologies. It balances themes of community and individual responsibility without a clear ideological leaning.
Gravity Falls features visible diversity within its supporting cast, with integral characters of Hispanic and Asian descent. The narrative explores universal themes of family and adventure, and while it includes diverse relationships, it does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center its plot around overt DEI themes.
Secondary
Gravity Falls subtly but clearly portrays a positive LGBTQ+ relationship through Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland. Their affectionate bond culminates in an explicit declaration of love in the finale, presented without ridicule or negative framing, contributing to an affirming net impact.
The show features Wendy Corduroy, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male-coded monsters and demons using an axe and her physical prowess.
Gravity Falls is an original animated series, meaning all its characters were created for the show itself. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which characters' genders could have been swapped.
Gravity Falls is an original animated series, not an adaptation of existing material or a historical depiction. Therefore, its characters do not have a pre-established race from prior source material or history that could be altered.
