Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film primarily addresses apolitical themes of self-esteem and social dynamics in high school. Its central solution champions individual empowerment and self-acceptance, rather than promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies.
The movie features visible diversity within its supporting cast, though its primary roles are predominantly white. The narrative centers on themes of self-acceptance and social labeling, without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
The film 'The DUFF' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story primarily focuses on heterosexual high school relationships and social dynamics, with no explicit or implicit representation of queer identities or experiences.
The film 'The DUFF' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. Its plot focuses on high school social dynamics, labels, and self-acceptance, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is an adaptation of a novel, and all major characters, including Bianca Piper, Wesley Rush, and Madison Morgan, retain the same gender as established in the source material. No canonical characters were portrayed with a different gender.
The film adapts a novel where character races were not explicitly defined but generally implied as white. The casting of characters like Casey Cordero with an actress of Hispanic ethnicity is considered an ethnic shift rather than a change in broader racial category, aligning with the prompt's exclusions.
