Not only does Wetpaint not have any credibility.... the "article" just seems nothing more than a  rant, about why Aurora and Mulan did not fall in love with each other.

Aurora and Mulan did not have any chemistry, what so ever. I enjoyed both characters, for the most part, but could barely buy their budding friendship. The two charaters just did not work well together.... there I said it. And let us remember that there is zero credibility behind cheering on a shipping pairing for the push for a gay couple on the show. I see a shipping pairing for what it is--an imaginary fan based couple that completely changes the intended relationship between two characters on a person's personal fantasy of how the two of them should be. I just do not see the credibility in expressing interest in seeing a certain couple be together if it's fan based perception so and so should be together. Shipping pairings are very much based on perception and fantasy. Let's be real about that. Throwing two people together in fanfiction who have no romantic affiliation what so ever on the show or because someone feels like in some alternate world where they are both gay that they'd be good together is just a fantasy.
