got around to reading that article about queerness in mulan (the one that james somerton plagiarized from, lmao) and i am once again reminded of how formative this movie was for me. yeah guys the protagonist doesn't fit into either traditional male or female gender roles. the protagonist looks at her reflection and wonders whether if it will ever reflect who she is on the inside, because if that true self is shown to the world it would disappoint her whole family. the protagonist fails at the being-a-wife test. that's SO CRAZY

#every queer asian person that has a personal connection w this movie lets all form a big group hug #who am i.txt #on another more unhappy note it's genuinely sinister that james somerton took this into his video essay #and erased the parts jes tom wrote about them being chinese and connecting to mulan through that #like wow dude. what the fuck??! evil behavior. you're quite literally whitewashing their experience #to make it palatable as possible to your youtube audience. fuck off
