Question 1

Is Dust Bunny woke?

Accepted Answer

Dust Bunny has a woke score of 39/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. Director Bryan Fuller frames the girl's outsider fears and found-family bond as a queer allegory drawn directly from his own childhood alienation. The story keeps hammering themes of difference, rejection by family, and self-championing that Fuller publicly ties to queer experience. The hitman-kid monster hunt is the surface plot but the emotional engine runs on that identity subtext the whole way through. No explicit lectures or visible LGBT characters, yet the creator's messaging keeps the queer framing front and center in every interview.
