If Bisexual Icon Li Shang Isn't in Live-Action Mulan I'm Exhuming Walt Disney So He Can Slap Some Sense Into His Employees

Bi Icon Li Shang Probably Isn’t in the Live-Action ‘Mulan’ & We’re UPSET

Bi Icon Li Shang Probably Isn’t in the Live-Action ‘Mulan’ & We’re UPSET

People are NOT happy with Disney's bisexual erasure.

You heard right. It's looking like Li Shang, our favorite bisexual legend/inventor of being a man, might not be in the upcoming, live-action Mulan movie. 

That's a lot to take in, so I'll say it again. Yes, Li Shang is bisexual. I didn't stutter. It is canon. He clearly has feelings for Mulan's male alter ego, Ping. If not, explain this:

Now that that's that, let's move on.

Twitter user @nerdyasians was first to note the absence of Li Shang's character on Disney's casting call, instead seemingly replaced by a new love interest named Chen Honghui.

The casting call describes Chen as another army recruit who is "determined to be the best soldier in human history." At first, he bullies Mulan, who he believes to be his biggest male rival, "but after learning, his rival is a woman, his intense feelings of rivalry turn into something very different, something like love."

Why is Disney erasing chiselled animated hunk of a man Li Shang, and with him his aggressively bisexual identity? We have no idea, but we're not the only ones outraged.

 

 

 

 

Dear Disney, you made Li Shang bisexual, unwillingly or not! Now you must see it through!

P.S. If "I'll Make a Man Out of You" also isn't in the film, I'm pressing charges.
