The Simpsons

Characters are generally judged by their actions, not their immutable characteristics. One episode features Lisa dishonestly claiming a Native American identity for a school benefit, which the plot clearly marks as an act of fraud. There is no narrative focus on the vilification of whiteness or a push for intersectional hierarchy.

The score is elevated due to direct, pointed political satire against US institutions. An episode shows Marge leading citizens to defeat a US Army Colonel in a war game. The 'Treehouse of Horror' includes a segment that directly criticizes the Iraq War and American media, framing Western institutional actions as foolish or misguided.

Several episodes focus on Marge seeking creative fulfillment and career success outside of her traditional role. 'Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em' features the plot point that Marge is not taken seriously as a carpenter solely because she is female, highlighting gender bias as a societal flaw. Homer often serves as the bumbling, incompetent foil to Marge's competence.

The season's content aligns with the normative structure. The marriage of Grampa and Selma focuses on a traditional male-female pairing. There is no centering of alternative sexualities or content promoting gender theory, especially not for children.

Religious satire is present but targets moralistic hypocrisy and conservative outrage, such as Ned Flanders' role in Kent Brockman's firing. Faith itself is not presented as the root of evil, but as a source of personal awkwardness or community conflict. The show’s core is a-moral rather than anti-theist, but the lampooning of a Christian character (Flanders) as the source of media censorship raises the score slightly.
