Why the scores diverge

  • The 15-point gap reflects how much ideology steers each story on our six-dimension pass, not just vibes.
  • Resident Evil highlight: The dialogue primarily serves the horror and survival narrative with minimal overt ideological messaging.
  • Straw Dogs highlight: Dialogue is mostly naturalistic and serves the escalating tension rather than delivering overt ideological messages.
  • Resident Evil: Characters appear to be motivated by survival and plot needs rather than symbolic representation or tokenism.
  • Straw Dogs: Characters are grounded in their roles within the rural community and personal conflict, with little evidence of tokenism or forced representation.

Straw Dogs reads higher on anti-traditional framing than Resident Evil, which nudges the overall profile message-forward.
