An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Similar to The Bechdel Test, a narrative is Deggans compliant when it has: 1. * At least two non-white human characters in the main cast... 2. * ...in a show that's not about race. If the socially dominant race in the country where the show was made is not white (say, in Japan), the first clause may need to be adjusted accordingly. Shows that meet this requirement are more common than ones following The Bechdel Test. Many of them do it by being the kind of show with a Token White, though. Examples of Deggans' Rule include:

  • Similar to The Bechdel Test, a narrative is Deggans compliant when it has: 1. * At least two non-white human characters in the main cast... 2. * ...in a show that's not about race. If the socially dominant race in the country where the show was made is not white (say, in Japan), the first clause may need to be adjusted accordingly. It's worth noting that Deggans' Rule doesn't precisely parallel The Bechdel Test: it requires that the characters in question be in the main cast, but the clause about conversation is dropped. Since it was originally proposed during a discussion of The Bechdel Test, this is almost certainly intentional. Shows that meet this requirement are more common than ones following The Bechdel Test. Many of them do it by being the kind of show with a Token White, though. Named for St. Petersburg Times TV Critic Eric Deggans (and not of the webcomic Deegans). Compare Five-Token Band.
