Stargirl has its share of diverse characters, and at times it appears their backgrounds are highlighted a bit more than unique personalities or skills. Still, the narrative largely remains focused on heroism and legacy, rather than just identity politics. Forced representation pops up, but not to the extreme degree seen in some recent franchises.

Traditional family dynamics are present, but father figures are often absent or downplayed, and there’s some emphasis on girls taking center stage while boys play support. The series generally shies away from underlying religious or longstanding traditions, leaning into a more modern interpretation of heroism and social roles.

While there are some traditionalist adult characters, they're often sidelined or portrayed as out of touch. The show's moral compass trends toward current progressive sensibilities, with minimal pluralism of viewpoints and dissent rarely shown outside of caricature.
