'The Wilds' storyle volvg Ivan, s gay, Black, “woke” character is an furiatg example of a new trend of TV shows that have no Ia what to do wh their progrsive characters, cludg 'And Jt Like That' and 'Woke.'" emprop="scriptn * no ivan gay *
The boys’ mp is also chock-full of archetypal characters like the jock (Kir, played by Charl O’Connor), the sensive nerd (Nicholas Coombe as Josh), the charismatic popular guy (Seth, a eerily on-pot Alex Fzalan), and the fashnable gay kid (Mil Gutierrez dog his bt as Ivan). What The Wilds do wh Ivan, an out gay Black boy navigatg high school armed wh razor sharp w and Gen-Z-ified vobulary, is turn him to a utnary tale for wokens. “What The Wilds do wh Ivan, an out gay Black boy navigatg high school armed wh razor sharp w and Gen-Z-ified vobulary, is turn him to a utnary tale for wokens.
When Kir gets angry, Ivan bas him repeatedly (I don’t love this phrasg, but ’s unfortunately how the show am ) to llg him gay slurs. Ivan’s boyiend Le giv him a sanctimon speech about how he’s lettg “the fight” take over his life (like beg Black and gay this world isn’t an everyday fight) and how he’s fotten how to jt be (like that’s a choice).
The moral of the story seems to be that Ivan took this whole “woke” thg (you know, wantg people to be held acuntable for their racist and homophobic actns) too far and that we should go easier on whe people, OK! Ivan isn’t given childhood trma as an exce for his actns (which I will fend to the ath) or any real motivatn for his behavr other than that he’s Black and gay and on a missn to stroy whe people! And The Wilds tried to cram an after-school special about the dangers of beg “woke” to Ivan’s storyle stead of unpackg how he lived and loved as a gay Black boy his predomately whe high school, which would have been far more tertg.
