* CommonKnowledge: The Black Queen is not a lesbian. While she's interested in Barbarella, she also shows interest in Pygar too, meaning she's obviously bisexual.

* ValuesResonance: While a ridiculous comedy, it does have a sex positive message, with Barbarella happily enjoying it and seeing no issue about SexForServices, and beating the Excessive Machine by being TooKinkyToTorture. And the Matmos considers her pure enough to shield itself from her, meaning Barbarella is still seen as pure and heroic.
