Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Traditional

Primary

The film primarily focuses on individual and interpersonal family dynamics, with solutions centered on personal reconciliation and growth rather than advocating for any specific political ideology or systemic change. Its main objective is raunchy comedy.

The movie features a predominantly white main cast without any intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative is a raunchy comedy that does not engage with DEI themes, nor does it critically portray traditional identities, maintaining a neutral or positive framing for its white male protagonists.

Secondary

The film 'That's My Boy' features a character, Chad, whose effeminate portrayal and perceived sexuality are consistently used as a source of homophobic jokes and ridicule by the protagonist. The narrative presents these harmful stereotypes and mockery without critique, resulting in a problematic and negative overall depiction of LGBTQ+ themes.

The film features a character, Father Tony, who is revealed to be a trans man. However, this revelation is used for shock humor and crude jokes, making the character's trans identity a source of ridicule. The portrayal reinforces negative stereotypes, presenting the transition as bizarre rather than with dignity or respect, resulting in a problematic depiction.

The film portrays Christian characters, particularly Jamie's conservative family and Father McNally, as rigid, judgmental, and hypocritical for comedic effect. The narrative offers no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal or nuance, reinforcing negative stereotypes about conservative religious adherents.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

This film features original characters created for the movie, with no prior canonical, historical, or widely established gender baselines to compare against. Therefore, no gender swaps occurred.

This film features original characters created for the movie, with no prior source material, historical basis, or previous installments establishing their race. Therefore, no character could have been race-swapped.
