The film lacks explicit LGBTQ+ characters or non-heteronormative romantic arcs. The social structure remains centered on traditional interpersonal dynamics without disrupting heteronormative expectations.

Female characters like Hulda disrupt the expectation of women as passive observers within this male-dominated archetype. The group functions as a surrogate family, subtly moving away from strictly patriarchal leadership.

The cast reflects the demographic norms of the Western genre, lacking significant racial intersectionality. The narrative focuses on socioeconomic outcast status rather than diverse racial identities.

The film critiques modernity by framing the 'civilized' world as a space of lost authenticity. It deconstructs the Western myth, presenting the outlaws' codes as ethically valid alternatives to state laws.

Characters with visible physical impairments, such as a limp, are integrated into the ensemble. However, the narrative focuses on their utility to the group rather than exploring their personal agency.
