I think I saw a theory somewhere that he's based on a specific island of fishermen with a mumbling accent that's hard for non-locals to make out (so Onion speaks with it because he mostly hangs out with his dad, and Sour Cream sometimes falls into it from being raised by Yellowtail).

Hey, just hit me. Mystery Girl is pretty well build.
Does that mean that certain people can finally stop complaining that show is demonizing beefy ladies? Pretty please?

They can't just go away, we need at least 1 more beefy woman to counter those complaints.

There is no beginning. There is no end. There is only... Hooty.Thas dumb, mang. You can't possibly justify this.
My point exactly. Even the "low resources" excuse isn't a good one. It goes back to my earlier argument that antagonists seem to be written very simply until they get redeemed. It seems like the show is going more for Black-and-Gray Morality than anything else.
"The cruelest thing you can do to an artist is tell them their work is flawless when it isn't." -Ben "Yahtzee" CroshawHomeworld's attitude to Earth seems realistic to me. A wealthy power invades a weaker area for resources, then suffered an unexpected and humiliating war that they didn't plan for. Now, they're divided between pointless revenge fantasies and indifferent contempt.
Then there's the Punch-Clock Villain trope, with Centipeetle and the Rubies. The show does a lot to humanize them, but if Centipeetle and her crew had succeeded, humanity would have been exterminated.
A character can still have some sympathetic and positive traits while still being completely horrible. Not all well written villains have understandable, tragic motivations (they can consider themselves having good motivations, but that doesn't mean it is true), nor do they always have to have a point. Grey-and-Gray Morality is not always the route to go. There are terrible, cruel people in this world, that will never "get better" and it isn't bad storytelling to acknowledge that. You average terrible person doesn't wake up believing they're the villain, but that doesn't make them not awful.
That's how I'm guessing/hoping the Diamonds turn out. Sure, they might have some traits that make them sympathetic and understandable (avenging Pink Diamond, for example), but it will be all drowned out by the ocean of awfulness.

The overall conflict of the show is still firmly Black-and-White Morality. To say otherwise is applying too narrow a definition to that trope.
There's been one less person recently...
Don't even ask though...

Why is it unnerving?
Valid questions.

That's seeming like a complicated way of saying he's a sailor...almost.
