Did Mulan have a good disguise?
>>150206329everyone probably thought she was just a fuckboy for some geisha theatre owner. my point is, i think everyone just saw throught the disguise and thought he was just a very girly looking boy
WE MUST BE SWIFT AS THE COURSING RIVERWITH ALL THE FORCE OF A GREAT TYPHOONWITH ALL THE STRENGTH OF A RAGING FIREMYSTERIOUS AS THE DARK SIDE OFTHE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!
>>150206329Considering most Chinese men look like women, yeah.
>>150206329I mean, it worked.
>>150206329It was good enough to fool literally everyone in the Chinese military so yeah it must've been pretty good.
>>150206473Only the higher classes. Peasants normally don't look good (the lifestyle does it).
>>150206473I'd probably go gay if I moved to China then. Would find myself a Mulan in NO TIME
>>150206994Mulan was upper-middle class so it's fine
>>150208165a huge part of asian lore is that they love girly boys.
>>150206329Well let's be honest they arr rook same so yeah it seemed pretty good
>>150208276In asia being a twinky pretty boy is the height of masculinity and heterosexuality, while buff burly manly men are the gay ones.It really is opposite land over there.
>>150208313idk man sticking them in dresses and making them wear geisha make up sounds gay and its openly mentioned throughout all of asisa, im sure theres some place where if your firstborn is a male, they force him to be a boywife. i think thats more the thailand area though
>>150208349kinda fucked up desu
>>150208276>>150208313>>150208349>>150208817>Beyond the feminization of the dan within the traditions of the theatre troupe, audiences also contributed to the aura of feminization through their own discourse of connoisseurship. One of the central concerns of the huapu was to identify exactly which feminine traits each dan displayed both on and off stage. In the Yanlan xiaopu (A small book on the orchids of Yan), the earliest huapu of the Qing dynasty, there are numerous descriptions comparing the listed dan to beautiful young girls, as the following selections from two of the entries attest:>[Golden Orchid-boy] has a fine waist and careful step, a slender neck and modest shoulders, and observing him one is reminded of a gentle maiden. One would never guess it to be the dissimulation of an actor.>[Golden Osmanthus-boy] has a delightfully thin body, with a glowing skin and gentle face, reminding one of a demure girl who waits [for her lover] beside the city wall.>These kinds of descriptions, where the dan stars are poetically compared to women or girls, are abundant throughout later huapu. The following examples are from Fengcheng pinhua ji, Chang’an kanhua ji and Dingnian yusun ji:>There is a junior actor about eleven or twelve, charming and seductive even without flamboyant dresses or accessories. He is as pretty as a female beauty and my heart felt a tender love for him.>Yunqiu, like the Maiden of the Lotus Flower, is peerlessly pretty and bright.>Cuixiang is the most charming boy of the Wu region. The emperor Yang of the Sui dynasty felt the girl flower-arranger Yuan Bao’er was adorable, but I think this boy must supersede her.>Liu Wu’er is an incarnation of the Maiden of the Lotus Flower.
