Mulan 1998: *has an interesting lead character who struggles, grows, changes and proves she’s as capable as any man. The emperor of China bows to her, and her father ignores all of the gifts she was given as a way to bring their family honor, hugs her and says “my greatest gift and honor is having you for a daughter*
Disney: We’re making a new version of Mulan!
Me: Oh no
Disney: It will be amazing, we promise! Maybe even better than the cartoon!
The remake: *makes Mulan “perfect” and boring as fuck, and has her literally say the words “I know my place” and bow to the emperor. Her father only looks truly touched and proud when she gives him the gifts the emperor offered her*
Me:
*sigh* the fact that I watched so many of my (non pagan) friends and mutuals literally go from “no Disney you can’t do that” to “OMG Disney MCU Loki is the best” kills me. Disney’s going to own all of us at this rate.
I just wanna remind people why you should boycott Disney's new Mulan...
(If what the actress said isn't enough, here's more reason.)
(Picture says: Disney live-action Mulan was filmed in Xinjiang nearby some Uighur concentration camps. In the credits they openly thank a CCP agency tasked with administering the camps. By the guardian.) Link here
What are the Uighurs?
"The Uighurs are a mostly Muslim Turkic ethnicity who regard themselves as culturally and ethnically close to Central Asian nations. The majority live in Xinjiang, where they number about 11 million people." -BBC link
(In picture: a group of Uighur men sit drinking and eating.)
What is China doing?
Well let's take a look at what BBC said,
"In July 2020, the UK warned that it may sanction China over the "gross and egregious" human rights abuses reported in Xinjiang.
Asked whether the treatment of the Uighurs met the legal definition of genocide, UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the international community had to be "careful" before making such claims.
But a UN human rights committee found in 2018 there were credible reports that China was holding a million Uighurs in political 'counter-extremism' camps. Committee member Gay McDougall said the Chinese government had "turned the Uighur autonomous region into something that resembles a massive internment camp".
"Human rights charities including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch (HRW) have long accused Beijing of mass imprisonment and torture. Most inmates in the so-called "re-education camps" have never been charged with a crime and have not received any legal representation, the charities say.
"Beijing's shameful denials in the face of well-evidenced UN allegations regarding mass arbitrary detentions in Xinjiang ought to shock the world," HRW China director Sophie Richardson told the BBC at the time.
In the wake of recent reports of mass sterilisation of Uighur women, the Interparliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), an international cross-party group of politicians, called on the UN to "establish an international, impartial, independent investigation into the situation in the Xinjiang region".
"A body of mounting evidence now exists, alleging mass incarceration, indoctrination, extrajudicial detention, invasive surveillance, forced labor, and the destruction of Uighur cultural sites, including cemeteries, together with other forms of abuse," the statement said."
"Since the 9/11 attacks in the US, China has increasingly portrayed its Uighur separatists as auxiliaries of al-Qaeda, claiming Uighur Muslims have received training in Afghanistan."
"many Uighurs complain that Han Chinese are taking their jobs, and that their farmland has been confiscated for redevelopment. Mass immigration of Han Chinese to Xinjiang has made Uighurs a minority now in the province."
BBC's article can be found here
(In picture, a group of Uighur men stand below a picture of the previous Chinese dictator.)
Who else is China putting in these "re-education camps" aka Gulags?
"As of 2018, it was estimated that Chinese authorities may have detained hundreds of thousands, perhaps a million, Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and other ethnic Turkic Muslims, Christians as well as some foreign citizens such as Kazakhstanis, who are being held in these secretive internment camps which are located throughout the region. In May 2018, US Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs Randall Schriver said "at least a million but likely closer to three million citizens" were imprisoned in detention centers, which he described as "concentration camps". In August 2018, Guy McDougall, an American representative at the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, said that the committee had received many credible reports that 1 million ethnic Uyghurs in China have been held in "re-education camps". There have also been multiple reports by media outlets, politicians and researchers which compared the camps to the Chinese Cultural Revolution. In 2019 at the United Nations, 54 nations (including China itself) rejected allegations against China and supported China's policies in Xinjiang. In another letter, 23 nations accepted the allegations against China and did not support China's policies." Wikipedia page link here.

So why should we boycott Disney's Mulan and potentially Disney?
Through the blatant support of the CCP and those who oppress and kill the Muslims and Christians in China, Disney has shown us that they do not care about the brutality of the situation going as far to film a movie that even the Chinese don't like, next to a place that is killing thousands. If this isn't enough to deter you from supporting this movie, I don't know what is.
We the people have the power to show that we can stop companies from allowing brutality to happen. We have the power to deter them.
So let's do it.
What can we do?
Well the first thing you can do is not watch Mulan, even if you have Disney+, the more views the more likely they will not learn the lesson.
You can also support and donate to these organizations:
Uyghur Human Rights Project
"The Uyghur Human Rights Project promotes the rights of the Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim peoples in East Turkistan, referred to by the Chinese government as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, through research-based advocacy. It publishes reports and analysis in English and Chinese to defend Uyghurs’ civil, political, social, cultural, and economic rights according to international human rights standards. "
You can find them here.
Save Uighur
"The Save Uighur Campaign is an educational and advocacy project aimed at raising public awareness and resolve to help the Uighur people. The project is a concerted effort to tie media exposure, public relations, and government action together into a single strategy aimed at the liberation of the Uighurs from the oppression they face at the hands of the Chinese government."
You can support them here.
The Uyghur American Association
"The Uyghur American Association (UAA) is based in Washington, DC and is a tax-exempt, non-profit membership organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Tax Code. UAA works to promote human rights and democracy for Uyghurs, as well as to protect and promote Uyghur culture in East Turkistan and worldwide."

Together we can do this and end China's oppression!
Someone needs to bring Teddy Roosevelt the fuck back to life and de-monopolize Disney.
TR's ghost for president from now until Disney is stopped...
Save the Coral City Camera, Don't Allow Disney Cruises to Destroy Our Urban Reef
Disney Cruise is trying to get ahold of this urban reef area, that is protected by federal government, to expand their Disney Cruises franchise. This will destroy thousands of individuals that live on the reef, including hundreds of different kinds of corals, manatees, and many species of fish. The locals are speaking up about it: you should too! All it takes is a click and you will have signed the petition to keep Disney away from this natural beauty. Coral reefs are already endangered; let’s do something about it! Reblog, share, and sign!!!
