An Australian animated sci-fi comedy about a sheltered lesbian space princess who leaves her queer utopia to rescue her bounty hunter ex-girlfriend from a fleet of incel aliens called the Straight White Maliens. The Progressive label follows naturally from the premise: the film plants its ideological flag right in the title and never moves it. Antagonists are framed as straight male threats to a queer-centric civilization, while the protagonist's arc centers lesbian identity and self-reliance over parental expectation. One complicating wrinkle is a drag villain whose deceptive arc has drawn criticism as a transmisogynist trope, adding an internal tension that the film's broadly celebratory tone does not fully resolve.

Explicit naming of antagonists as Straight White Maliens and centering of lesbian power symbols in a planet called Clitopolis establish a clear progressive ideological anchor. The narrative solution of queer self-discovery against heteronormative threats reinforces this alignment without balancing counter-views.
The animated feature showcases visible diversity through a cast and crew of mostly queer people of color and non-binary performers in prominent roles. Its story explicitly casts straight white male characters as the antagonistic force in opposition to a queer-centric world.
Affirming depiction centers queer self-love and empowerment with dignity and humor. Lesbian characters exercise agency in a supportive narrative that validates identity against external obstacles.
The film includes a non-binary side character presented incidentally and positively but features a drag/transfeminine character whose arc as a deceptive villain coveting lesbian symbols draws criticism as a transmisogynist trope. This problematic depiction outweighs minor inclusions, resulting in a net negative portrayal of trans themes.
The film portrays a non-traditional family unit of two lesbian queens as neglectful and emotionally pressuring toward their daughter, critiquing parental authority and highlighting the protagonist's growth toward self-reliance and independence over family bonds.
No scenes show female characters defeating male opponents in direct physical combat. The only described melee fight involves female characters Saira and Willow defeating the female character Blade via decapitation.
No gender-swapped characters appear. All named roles, including the central princess and supporting figures, are original creations without prior canonical or historical gender baselines in any source material.
No race swaps occur. All characters are original creations for this animated film with no prior source material establishing canonical races.
