* ''WebAnimation/EtraChanSawIt'': In this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh3TZR5-UYY story]], [[spoiler: Yuzuriha attempts to hire a {{Yakuza}} group to kill Akane, however they refuse to take the job and instead turn her in to the police, leading to her arrest.]]

** The episode "Fixing the Planet!" has Glazer and Power Punch acting with the heroes, aghast at Gamerglitch's latest scheme. Thanks to recklessly causing the city to glitch out, this switched around the recycling bins, mixing up the trash. The two of them point out that they live on this planet too, so they should all be doing their part in keeping it clean. [[spoiler:As punishment, Gameglitch gets assigned "organic matter" for her trash duty pickup]].

* ''WebVideo/DragonBallAbridged''
** Creator/TeamFourStar reimagines Mr. Popo as a seemingly all-powerful sadist, but when Kami asks if an annoying noise he hears is Mr. Popo torturing a cat, Mr. Popo is quick to say that he doesn't torture ''cats''.
--->'''Kami:''' Mr. Popo, are you torturing a cat?!\\
'''Mr. Popo:''' Oh, please, Kami! I don't ''torture'' [eyes dart away] [-cats.-]
** Standalone stories focusing on Goku's father Bardock don't flinch from how he was in many ways a ruthless killer for hire, and if anything, exaggerate his willingness to kill ([[ImAHumanitarian and eat]]) someone over little to nothing, but a hurricane of {{Double Entendre}}s about [[FunWithAcronyms SPUG]][[note]]Super Polymorphic Unleashing Gel (pronounced "spooge")[[/note]] moves Bardock to interrupt by killing one of the villain's minions and saving an InnocentBystander alien.
--->'''Bardock:''' I'm sorry I had to step in, but that was just getting ''obscene.''
** In ''WebAnimation/{{HFIL}}'', Frieza is completely unrepentant about his tyrannical and genocidal past, to the point where he says "I'd rather die a million ''more'' times before I ever pretend otherwise", but even he is disturbed by the twerkarena dance.
*** Also, Cell, who is in HFIL for [[ImAHumanitarian all the people he drank]], is utterly disgusted at the notion of {{bestiality|IsDepraved}}, which he expresses the second time he's glomped by the frog-minded Ginyu.

--->'''Rufus:''' Heidegger, that seems like an overreaction. Like, [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten dropping a section of the city, [[SuddenlyShouting ON TOP OF ANOTHER SECTION OF THE CITY]]! Let's use a scalpel instead of a hammer to fix our problems from now on, okay?

* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'': [[TheDreaded Alastor]] was a SerialKiller in life, has a well-deserved reputation for making one-sided deals, and openly admits that he believes redemption for those already dead is impossible and is only backing Charlie's redemption idea so he can enjoy watching sinners "repeatedly trip and tumble down into the fiery pit of failure". That being said, he's shown to absolutely despise rapists; in a prequel comic, he gets far angrier at a butcher for trying to sexually assault a young girl than he did when said butcher threatened his life.

** Although Hazel Rainart is perfectly willing to kill Oscar, a young boy, in order to kill Ozpin, he nonetheless asks Oscar to forgive him before attacking. Additionally, he also tells Ren and Nora that he doesn’t wish to fight them, and was also disgusted with Adam for killing Sienna Khan in cold blood, insisting that nobody needed to die.

** Stolas is a demon lord who gets Blitzo to agree to a SexForServices deal while he’s running from a crazed murderer. However, it's implied that he is among the better of the demon lords because he actually has some principles in his interactions with others. In particular, extra content shows him feeling offended by the suggestion he'd take advantage of a drunk Blitzo, despite him being a sex pervert. It's also shown he holds a deep hatred of Valentino, a pimp who is physically, emotionally and/or sexually abusive with his underlings, his own boyfriend and even his friends, exactly because of these actions.

** Asmodeus is the Sin of Lust, meaning he would prefer people get it on for the sake of getting it on. However, when he thought Stolas came to him for a love potion, he was legitimately mad, implying that even he thinks that RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil.

* ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'': [[TheDreaded Alastor]] was a SerialKiller in life, has a well-deserved reputation for making one-sided deals, and openly admits that he believes redemption for those already dead is impossible and is only backing Charlie's redemption idea so he can enjoy watching sinners "repeatedly trip and tumble down into the fiery pit of failure".

* The Martinez boys from ''WebAnimation/{{Anon}}'' have some extreme ways of sorting out problems, but unless they're being directly threatened, they have a rule against involving or hurting women.

** While Jacques Schnee is a CorruptCorporateExecutive, he clearly draws a line at committing murder.

* ''WebAnimation/AFoxInSpace'' has Andross, who is willing to murder, kidnap, start wars, and sacrifice his own men if need be, but he looks down on mercenaries like [[spoiler:Pigma]] and doesn't mind saying it in front of his face. Ironically, it seems [[spoiler:Pigma]] himself feels similar about Andross. Traitorous money-loving thug he may be, but at least he isn't ''crazy''.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Lackadaisy}}'': For all his chillingly detached pursuit of [[VenturouSmuggler booze runners]] from his former gang, ConsummateProfessional Mordecai's standards stop him from shooting Lackadaisy's young GetawayDriver, Ivy. What those standards are remains [[AmbiguousSituation ambiguous]], as comic canon limits their interactions to a scene from his target's nightmares.

** Salem's methods and plans are something Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai struggle to cope with; they're both horrified upon discovering the Grimm are endlessly generating from the Pools of Annihilation in the Domain of Darkness, they cringe in fear of Salem's Seer Grimm, and they're horrified when Salem begins transforming the Grimm into new forms in preparation for battling Atlas. While Mercury claims to Emerald he's right where he's supposed to be and is fine with helping Salem create a new world order, he's deeply unnerved by Salem's relationship with and use of the Grimm and becomes very unsettled when Tyrian confirms Emerald's claim that Salem wants to destroy the world instead of remake it.

** [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Jacques]] [[AbusiveParents Schnee]] is the CEO of the Schnee Dust Company, and is about as terrible as you'd expect. [[GoldDigger He weaseled his way into power by marrying Weiss' mother]], Willow and somehow convincing her father, [[HonestCorporateExecutive Nicholas Schnee]], to giving him control. He then subsequently broke Willow's heart by revealing his duplicity and lack of care for her or their children, causing her to [[DrowningMySorrows spiral into a drunken depression]], leaving [[ParentalNeglect Winter, Weiss and Whitley defenseless]] against their emotionally abusive father. Winter would flee to the Atlas Military in response, with Weiss eventually fleeing to Beacon later on, and Whitley would force himself to be more like what Jacques wanted in a desperate attempt to avoid the abuse. As the CEO of the SDC, Jacques intentionally monopolizes the Dust trade, shunting out smaller businesses like Flynt Coal's fathers' Dust shop, puts laborers in abysmal conditions in the dangerous Dust Mines, and as of Volume 7 [[spoiler: was willing to get the aid of [[EvilGenius Arthur Watts]] to hack an election for a Council position after his cohort Tyrian ''massacred an entire room full of people'' working for one of his political opponents to help draw attention off himself]] and frame General Ironwood, who he was bitterly opposed to due to his embargo crippling his company's profits. However, for all of his horrid behavior and abuse, even he frankly finds Ironwood's increasingly authoritarian behavior to be extremely disturbing, [[JerkAssHasAPoint and makes an excellent point that Ironwood has only become more controlling and secretive]], illegally acting behind the Council's back, and becoming more and more unhinged as time went on. Given that [[spoiler: by the end of Volume 7, [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope Ironwood has completely lost his sanity]] and by the end of Volume 8 has aided in the complete destruction of Atlas due to his crippling fear of Salem and losing control of the situation, Jacques turned out to be more accurate than he expected.]]

** Mercury and Emerald are introduced bantering while they murder a bookkeeper for defecting from the White Fang. They enjoy destroying the reputations of students and getting them killed, and they help plan the invasion of Vale and destruction of Beacon; Mercury even gloats while filming the sight of people dying all around him, although Emerald briefly expresses some mild pathos as she pensively watches the scale of the destruction unfold. However, once they arrive at the lair of their boss, Salem, their cockiness vanishes as they begin to realize they're in ''way'' over their heads. Most notably, they watch in open-mouthed horror as the [[KillAllHumans Creatures of Grimm]] (who they had previous used like tools to invade Vale and Beacon) are being constantly created from [[MookMaker inky black pools]] right before their eyes, implying that humanity can never hope to defeat their overwhelming, and constantly replaced, numbers. When they see the kind of Grimm that Salem has under her direct control, such as [[MouthOfSauron the Seer]], they are so terrified that they cringe against the door to try and put as much distance between it and them as possible. [[spoiler: Their discomfort with the situation only becomes more pronounced as time goes on and their backstories are revealed in greater detail, with Emerald only staying around due to her misguided loyalty to Cinder, and Mercury having nowhere to go after slaughtering [[AbusiveParents his monster of a father]] and not being willing to leave the life of violence he's lead. It reaches a point that in Volume 8, Emerald ends up deciding to leave after Cinder makes it clear that she doesn't care for her at all, further reinforced by the revelation that Salem's grand plan seems to be to destroy the entire world. [[TrappedInVillainy Mercury isn't so lucky, being coerced into staying due to Salem promoting him, and Tyrian sticking with him to make sure he can't leave.]]]]
** [[WellIntentionedExtremist Sienna Khan]], after power was transferred from her predecessor Ghira Belladonna, is the one who transitioned the White Fang from a peaceful campaign group into a more violent organization that's willing to engage in violence against SDC personnel, commit robberies of SDC property, and so forth. However, Sienna abhors unnecessary violence, and it's made plainly clear that her actions are motivated only by necessity, due to humans actively mistreating her people despite their initially peaceful protesting; her goal remains Faunus equality and she knows that making humanity fear and hate the Faunus will achieve the opposite of what she desires. She therefore detests the [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist pointlessly cruel actions of Adam]] and his involvement in the fall of Beacon, calling his behavior reckless and foolish at best. She also understands that the Faunus cannot afford to wage war against humanity, since they simply do not have the numbers or support, further putting her opposite of Adam, who desires to enslave and subjugate humanity in open war. [[spoiler: Her restraint and scathing reaction to Adam's idiocy ultimately gets her killed, as he betrays her to take control of the White Fang.]]

** Although Hazel Rainart is completely willing to kill a child, Oscar Pine, in order to kill Ozpin, he asks for his forgiveness before attacking. Additionally, he also tells Ren and Nora that he doesn’t wish to fight them and previously seemed disgusted at Adam Taurus’s actions [[spoiler:after he killed Sienna Khan]]. [[spoiler: This is further elaborated on when it's revealed that Ozpin's manipulations not only got his sister killed in a training mission, but that [[SenselessSacrifice Ozpin has been throwing his forces against Salem]] in a ForeverWar that he has no idea how to actually win. Hazel, drowning in grief and believing it to be pointless due to fight against Salem due to her immortality, ended up joining her out of the belief she would end the strife, and because he couldn't kill her himself and having to settle for killing Ozpin instead. [[{{Hypocrite}} While his actions are intensely hypocritical]] due to Salem's own part in the tragedy between her and Ozpin, [[VillainHasAPoint he isn't exactly wrong in many of his assertions.]] This ends up also making him more willing to listen to the likes of Oscar, the latest incarnation of Ozpin, since the latter is willing to trust that Hazel is rational enough to hear him out. As a result, Hazel finds out that Salem might be planning on destroying the entire world by bringing back the [[AbusivePrecursors Brother Gods]], [[HeelRealization pushing him to aid the heroes]] in hopes that they can find a solution to this mess.]]

** ''Immediate Murder Professionals'', or I.M.P., is a Hell-run MurderInc agency that specializes in killing living people who have wronged their victims. They do their best to avoid unnecessary damage or casualties unless they are targets as well. When Moxxie accidentally shoots a young boy in the pilot, they're clearly horrified and try to save his life. In episode 3, when Blitzo make a wager with his ex Verosika that I.M.P. can kill more people than she can seduce, Moxxie reminds him that they can't just go up to the human world and slaughter random innocents; they need clients. Blitzo agrees with him, and decides to post a flier advertising a sale on murders.

** While this has more to do with ''professional'' standards than ''moral'' ones, I.M.P. is dedicated to stay on mission and only willing to perform other types of jobs if they get to kill anyone related to said jobs. For example, in Episode 2, they only agree to bodyguard a high-class demon because doing so allows them to kill those who are after him.

** [[WellIntentionedExtremist Sienna Khan]], after power was transferred from her predecessor Ghira Belladonna, is the one who transitioned the White Fang from a peaceful campaign group into a more violent organization that's willing to engage in violence against SDC personnel, commit robberies of SDC property, and so forth. However, Sienna abhors unnecessary violence, and it's made plainly clear that her actions are motivated only by necessity, due to humans actively mistreating her people despite their initially peaceful protesting; her goal remains Faunus equality and she knows that making humanity fear and hate the Faunus will achieve the opposite of what she desires. She therefore detests the [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist careless and pointlessly cruel actions of Adam]] and his involvement in the fall of Beacon, calling his behavior reckless and foolish at best. She also understands that the Faunus cannot afford to wage open war against humanity, since they simply do not have the numbers or support for such a thing. [[spoiler: Her restraint and scathing reaction to Adam's idiocy ultimately gets her killed, as he betrays her to take control of the White Fang.]]
