Shan-Yu in *Mulan (*1998) is leading the Huns on a campaign of conquest throughout China and has killed thousands, but is the only character to show no embarrassment or outrage over the idea of being bested by a woman soldier when fighting Mulan.

Captain Hector Barbossa's crew in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) is made up of a plethora of ethnicities and there does not seem to be any tension between any of them, despite being set in the early 1700's.

The Fire Nation's military in Avatar: The Last Airbender is shown to have women in both combat and command roles alongside the men without anyone commenting on it. There is likewise no complaint or issue abotu the monarch potentially being a woman. If anything, the nation with the worst attitude towards gender dynamics are the Water Tribes (i.e. the first nation we meet)!

The moral placement of Mandalorians in Star Wars-media varies heavily depending on where they are being depicted in the timeline, with the worst case scenario being on the level of terrorists ala-ISIS or bloodthirsty militarists intent on carving an empire for themselves ruled by a military theocracy.

The Seekers in Disenchanted are a mysterious secret society in the Kingdom of Dreamland who are manipulating everyone for their own ends, and not only are they racially diverse they are completely open to their leaders being a gay couple.

6. Castle in the Sky (1986) - Dola is the leader of a gang of sky pirates (most of whom are her adult sons) and is almost never seen without a grenade launcher in her hand (with a backup strapped to her garter!).
