Idk, I just think that the situation with Eclipsa and Globgor and the baby swap is kind of a genuinely complicated and nuanced situation, where Eclipsa, her partner and her child were horribly and unfairly screwed over because of the bigotry inherent to the world they lived in, but also all three of them are kind of just horrible people who are massively racist in their own right, and yes, that includes Globgor.
Like, it's not supposed to count because this show has made the deeply unwise choice of demonizing an entire species, but Globgor clearly just freaking hates septarians.
And yeah, this is a symptom of the honestly weirdly centrist/right wing perspectives this show has, where of course racism is wrong, but so is trying to resist racism in any way except like. Trying to talk it out, I guess.*
The show just... Needs to both sides the issue by having a faction of evil monsters, that want to destroy magic and kill all the mewmens or... Something, and honestly, I doubt this was deliberate, the sense I get about Seth and the septarians as a faction is that they exist to tell us what Toffee's goals are without directly telling us, and that the implications of making one species just actually bad were never considered.
I guess that what I'm getting at is... Eclipsa and Globgor kind if represent the edges of acceptable resistance in Star vs. They are overly concerned with the feelings of racist mewmans, with finding a way to reach across the aisle, and that isn't bad, not always- but it's the only way forward that the show will treat as legitimate. It doesn't have an answer for if those across the aisle have sealed their ears with wax, have decided before the conversation starts that your tongue will spout only lies, if they have all the power in the world and you have nothing, if they well and truly want you dead, and the only way to stop them is to kill them. If you are in that situation, and you act in the only way you can to protect yourself, to protect your loved ones? Well...
This is what the show thinks of you.
*And it's not just that- it also appears in the show's arguments against magic and the monarchy, where these things are bad not because they help to uphold a status que that is cruel and broken, but because it makes people lazy and dependent. There's probably a lot to discuss there, actually, the idea that making people's lives easier is bad not because its built in the backs of an underclass who's suffering makes it possible, but intrinsically.
