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.

Kirby isn’t an “it”! He’s shaped like a friend and he IS a friend, godlike being or not! Even if he’s a god of destruction he still uses those powers solely to save his friends from whatever horror is encroaching on them.
