Scale: 0 = not woke, 10 = maximally woke
TL;DR Verdict
.hack//Roots earns its low 1/10 woke score by focusing purely on Haseo's guild adventures, revenge arc, and virtual-world mystery with no identity politics or DEI messaging.

Detailed Analysis
.hack//Roots follows Haseo, a male Adept Rogue newcomer in the MMORPG The World R:2, as he joins the Twilight Brigade guild led by Ovan, befriends Shino, and engages in standard guild quests, PKer encounters, game glitches, power progression, and a revenge arc tied to a coma incident.
The 26-episode Season 1 remains grounded in virtual fantasy mechanics with a traditional male lead and supporting female roles that serve the story rather than external agendas. No race or gender swaps, LGBTQ+ representation, or dialogue on patriarchy, identity, or systemic issues appear, keeping creator intent focused on game-world mystery and character growth. This absence of progressive messaging or DEI elements directly supports the show's official overall woke score of 1/10.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
