Progressive
Primary
The series' central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by critiquing and ultimately dismantling an oppressive, colonial monarchy built on historical lies, championing systemic change, interspecies equality, and the challenging of traditional power structures.
The animated series features a diverse ensemble of original characters, including prominent non-white roles, without explicitly recasting traditionally white characters. Its narrative subtly addresses themes of prejudice and challenges to established power structures, but it does not explicitly frame traditional identities in a negative light.
Secondary
Star vs. the Forces of Evil features several instances of LGBTQ+ representation, including background same-sex couples and a prominent character, Jackie Lynn Thomas, shown in a same-sex relationship. These depictions contribute to a normalizing and affirming portrayal of queer identities within the show's universe.
The show features female characters who engage in and win close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents. These victories involve hand-to-hand combat and the use of melee weapons, demonstrating their combat prowess against various adversaries.
The animated series "Star vs. the Forces of Evil" does not feature any explicitly identified transsexual characters or themes. While the show explores gender non-conformity and challenges traditional gender roles in some instances, these elements do not directly address transsexual identity as defined by the rubric.
