Sacrilege

I'm Monica. I like to wear suits more than dresses and greet people with "yo homie what up." Here's my humble and cozy home of miscellaneous minutiae.

Followers, I don’t know if I’ve posted quite enough to fully establish this, but Mulan is my favorite Disney heroine of all time, and she always will be. She’s the “princess” I identify the most with (family issues, problems with self worth, determination to prove herself and defy what standards that people have pre-set for her, not to mention overall bad ass chick), so when I see re-designs of the Disney princess court have come out, and this is what they fucking did to Mulan, my heart becomes ill. 1. I understand they have never been particularly loyal to her character when it comes to merchandise and franchising. Dolls are of a completely different Mulan, one with pretty long hair and a sparkly kimono. Even though there is a MOTHERFUCKING SCENE WHERE SHE WIPES OFF ALL THE MAKE UP CAKED ON HER FACE BECAUSE IT’S NOT WHO SHE IS INSIDE Disney insists on marketing a dull and docile pretty princess. 2. What in the fuck is that shit she is wearing cough excuse me??!??!?!?! And what happened to her short hair??!!?!?!?! Cutting your long hair is a symbolic Asian act that represents change and new beginnings. DISNEY ARE YOU TELLING ME SHE WOKE UP ONE DAY AND WENT ‘FUCK IT I’LL JUST BE A HOUSEWIFE ANYWAYS’ AND SHE GREW IT OUT AGAIN? AND WHY IS SHE SUDDENLY SO GOD DAMN WHITE WASHED HOW DID WE GET TO THIS FROM THIS   LOOK AT THAT DARK ASS SKIN SHE IS NOT A FUCKING GEISHA 3. This is a very sad instance of Disney losing its priorities. Instead of representing Mulan with who she really was and what she stood for: (protecting her country and earning her father’s respect while proving misogynistic values are wrong) they turn her into this hollow shell of beauty and style and Disney should be ashamed of themselves. Instead of embracing the fact that she was one of the only princesses to want more of herself than just being a bride-to-be, they doll her up, because it’s what sells. Mulan only wanted marriage because it would make her father proud, but instead SHE FELL IN LOVE WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF SAVING A FUCKING COUNTRY (note: I never have and never will recognize Mulan II as an official sequel, because you basically could apply everything I wrote here to it anyways).
