Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's focus on individual psychological development, interpersonal relationships, and self-acceptance, rather than systemic critiques or ideological promotion, positions it as politically neutral.
The film features visible diversity through a prominent Asian supporting character, but its main cast largely reflects traditional demographics. The narrative explores universal coming-of-age themes without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI a central focus.
Secondary
The film features Erwin Kim, a gay supporting character, whose identity is presented incidentally. His sexuality is a natural part of his character, shown through an unrequited crush, but it is not central to the narrative. The portrayal is respectful, avoiding stereotypes or negative framing, resulting in a neutral overall impact on LGBTQ+ themes.
