Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film is rated as neutral because its central conflict revolves around a fantastical, apolitical threat, and its resolution emphasizes universal themes of teamwork, creativity, and responsibility without promoting any specific political ideology.
The film features a predominantly white main cast, though it includes visible minority actors in supporting roles. The narrative positively frames traditional identities and does not incorporate explicit DEI themes, focusing instead on adventure and family dynamics.
Secondary
The 'Goosebumps' series features a main character, Isabella, who is openly lesbian. Her romantic arc with Margot is developed positively and culminates in an affirming relationship. Her identity is treated with respect and normalcy, contributing to a supportive and validating overall portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes.
The "Goosebumps" television series (1995) is a children's horror anthology show based on R.L. Stine's books. It does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes, nor does it touch upon gender identity in its narratives. Therefore, there is no depiction to evaluate.
The show primarily features supernatural threats that are overcome through problem-solving, teamwork, and exploiting weaknesses, rather than direct physical combat. No female characters are depicted defeating male opponents in close-quarters physical fights.
The 1995-1998 "Goosebumps" television series adapted R.L. Stine's books, generally maintaining the established gender of its various child protagonists and monster characters from the source material. No significant, plot-relevant characters underwent a gender swap.
The Goosebumps TV show adapted various books with a rotating cast of child protagonists whose races were rarely explicitly defined in the source material. Casting choices for the show did not contradict any widely established or canonical racial identities.
