Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's dominant themes align with left-leaning values by championing individual creative expression and challenging rigid, authoritarian institutional rules within the school system, positioning the protagonist's rebellion as a positive force against conformity.

The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, but its primary focus remains on a white male protagonist's coming-of-age story. The narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities, nor does it center on explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

The film 'Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is entirely focused on the protagonist's experiences in middle school and his family life, resulting in no depiction of queer identity.

The film 'Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers on a young boy's experiences in middle school, with no elements related to transgender identity.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name. A review of the main characters from the source material and their on-screen portrayals reveals no instances where a character's established gender was changed.

The film adapts a book series where key characters, including the protagonist Rafe Khatchadorian, were consistently depicted as white. The film's casting for these characters aligns with their established racial depictions, with no instances of a character canonically established as one race being portrayed as a different broader racial category.
