The Founder of Diabolism
tv·M·Jul 9, 2018·
The Founder of Diabolism scores a low 3/10 on wokeness—pure traditional xianxia entertainment with zero politics, identity agendas, or forced diversity, just epic cultivation, revenge, and m/m romance.
"The Founder of Diabolism" is a xianxia donghua series faithfully adapting a popular Chinese danmei novel, centered on cultivation clans, demonic arts, clan wars, revenge, moral dilemmas, loyalty, power corruption, and the evolving relationship between protagonists Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji—from subtextual bromance to a core m/m romantic partnership amid curses, conspiracies, and redemption arcs.
The storytelling adheres to traditional fantasy tropes in a hierarchical immortal world, with all-Chinese voice casting aligned to the ancient setting and no race/gender-swapping or forced diversity. Its overall woke score of 3/10 reflects the absence of modern progressive ideology, activist lectures, identity politics, or systemic oppression narratives, delivering pure genre entertainment with highly positive reception and zero backlash over ideological content.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
