Detailed Bias Analysis

Traditional
Primary
The film consciously balances competing viewpoints by critiquing the romanticized brutality of the American West and traditional masculinity, while ultimately championing an individual's journey of overcoming fear and finding personal belonging, rather than promoting a specific political ideology.

Its narrative focuses on comedic parody of the Old West's harsh realities rather than offering explicit critiques of traditional identities or centering on DEI themes.
Secondary
