1. The way it was done in season 3 was horrible. They left the scene ambiguous on purpose and then claimed "Mulan is a lesbian" in an interview. A character's sexuality should not be revealed in an interview, it should be on show.

2. We saw on the show that Mulan has feelings for phillip, so claiming she's fully lesbian is really offensive to bisexuals.

3. They left it "open" and we have'nt heard anything about that character for 2 seasons, they didn't even mention her. I know the actress wasn't available, but they should not have started a storyline they couldn't gaurantee to continue and one episode two seasons later is too little too late.

4. It seems that Ruby will be Mulan's love interest and it really bothers me since it was established that Ruby is a heterosexual woman who had a serious relationship with men. Changing her sexualoty just because they need someone to be with Mulan so why not Ruby. Now, I don't have a problem with characters going from being straight into being gay, but it should be something organic and developed on screen (i.e. Willow from Buffy, Callie from GA). It should not be done in one episode.

5. The fact that there are no reports of them filming after 509 means that is really going to be a token and not really serious. Wow, great representation of what happens in real world. They are going to be suddenly gay without any development on screen and then travel to forgotten charaters island to never hear from them ever again. That is the whole crux of OUAT generally. I think outside Snowing/Rumbelle, which were already established for decades (Snow white/Beauty and the beast), A&E can't write organic relationships.

You have a pirate that helped people that had Emma's son kidnapped and left them all for dead. Had a change of heart for his betrayal of Bae's sake, flirting with almost every woman he encountered, and fell in love with Emma 3 episodes and we have no reason why he is attracted to her, and on Emma's side, JMO played Emma as uninterested since she was told Neal was endgame until the show wanted to appeal to a younger audience and get the hotter guy to be with her.

And we have pixie dust declare a couple from the getgo tha the yare true loves, no matter that they have absolutely nothing in common other than having sons, no build up to it. The tattoo is shown to Regina and she is artificially thrust into being with Robin.

Now we got Red/Mulan who will have the same exact treatment but unlike the other two relationships above, I guarantee they will come and disappear and never heard from again.
