Because honestly I would hate it if they retconned the original Mulan 's sexuality because she was definitely straight. And so was Shang, no matter what people may believe. And her so called coming out anthem in the original version? That's a reference to how she wanted to be more of a tomboy than a girly girl and in Chinese culture women are expected to be feminine and dainty. And I would mind it if they retconned Mulan 's love for Shang like this. No way, just no. You DO NOT do that. -_- This is on a forum for the Once Upon A Time show discussing the Once Upon A Time character. In what way would it ever be about the Disney version of the character? I don't know...maybe because Disney owns ABC ?And these are Disney characters? -_- Yes, but with the exceptions of the Frozen and Brave characters, no other character is a direct adaptation of their Disney versions. They are different characters with different personalities and a different story in a totlly different context. End of the story.

If we wanna talk differences with Disney characters, then, how is it that people have more problems with Mulan being gay or bisexual and possibly not winding up with Li Shang than with Snow White AND Belle having freaking killed people on screen, Cinderella wielding a shotgun and such? I mean, guys, check your priorities! I have a problem because I simply don't connect well with LGBT characters.If a childhood icon of mine, like Mulan or even Wonder Woman had her sexuality retconned simply to appease the LGBT community ,it would bother me. And while I agree that the other characters aren't direct Disney adaptations, they still end up with the people they did in the original version except for Belle. So forgive me for being angry at the writers for pandering to the LGBT community. Period. -_-
