There's a whole new world (pun intended) of source material out there, and considering how little OUAT Mulan bears of Disney Mulan, I think they might very well bypass Disney by calling her Hua Mulan instead of Fa Mulan (her surname was not disclosed on the show), say it's a totally different thing than the Disney Princess and call it a day. OUAT is still affiliated with Disney. Disney would have stepped in before they had announced Mulan's sexuality. I'm betting on they didn't. or maybe they did and that's the reason why Mulan was sidelined in the latest episode. Or maybe they didn't and the writers want to do something else. Two can play at the speculative game. I'm betting 75-25 on the writers' choice rather than Disney involvement.

The writers always want to do something else whether it's Mulan, Lily, August, Will, Briar Rose, Camelot, Merida. I'm sure they'll have time for all of them in the future.

Sorry, but they had a chance to have a closer for one of their characters that has been left hanging since season 3. Mulan is not some kind of important character whose story needs to be prolonged.

If it's not Disney, it's because she's a person of color and they are here to serve the white characters, even the minor ones, in this show.
