something so stupidly gigantic having eyes that look soulful and intelligent is rather uncomfortable to most people, it’s a pretty common trope for that reason

What the fuck does this even mean? Why are we not allowed to see whale eyes?

Well one it looks very cool (magical perhaps even) and as humans we aren’t really made for swimming with whales, so it can feel like a sin to see such beauty when you were never really meant to see it

That’s wrong in both atheist and religious views. Either there is no “never meant to see it”, there is no meaning there. Or some God made whales as they are, very curious and often interact with other species, specifically looking at them, either from below or above the water, so then we were meant to see this.
None of those options take away from how cool it is and how magical it looks IMO.

Or maybe they’re trying to describe the feeling it evokes and aren’t being that literal. In fact it’s probably that and you’re greatly overthinking it beyond someone trying to describe a deep sense of awe.
