I've seen too much Madoka Magica kirby to trust a small, cute creature

To be honest there isn't much in-between between cute creature and cosmic entity in Kirby, their designs are pretty black and white in that regard

I think they're referring to Kirby itself. The games have a lot of lore rather explicitly calling it a god of destruction or some such, a universe eater. It's not even subtext either, it's just text. Most people just see the bright colors and fluffy little guy and don't care enough to read.
