Honestly, pragmatic villains who are just too fucking sensible and practical to be bigoted is a fondness of mine. I mean, consider a straight-up ruthless, heinous villain whose minions, henchmen and assassins are 90% female, for no other reason than because all these other wannabe Overlords of the Universe were overlooking these perfectly good, competent professionals because of their sex, and they’re loyal as well because they know he’s the only employee who’ll actually treat them fair. What else are they gonna do, turn good?

This is Hordak from She-Ra. It is a bit subtle and most of the very hate-filled and bigoted fandom overlook it, but his forces are so diverse and equal as long as they do their jobs that he’s been described as “equal-opportunity evil”.
