Horrible post, OP. That’s worse than the “good male characters are obviously trans” headcanons.
 
They did this bs earlier with The Breadwinner. My god, I hate how these people delude themselves into thinking they're trans when they do it to save their own family.

By the way, in Mulan II she never once pretended to be a man.

Mulan had to hide her breasts because she was a transwoman living in a time before people could medically transition. Makes sense.

I think what they are saying is that trans women can related to Mulan's experience of being a woman but trying to perform masculinity because there was a need for others to perceive them as a man, not that Mulan was literally a biologically male person.

One of the things that irks me about the tumblr "headcanon" crew is that they tend to equate a character being relatable to [x] group of people as that character literally being [x]. Mulan is cis. Period. She disguised herself for as a man for a specific personal reasons in defiance of the expectations placed on her because of her biological sex and then returned to living as the gender she was assigned based on her sex because that is what she felt comfortable as. Characters who have to disguise their gender like this are actually some the least ambiguous in terms of their being trans or cis, because these narratives generally require that the character's biological sex and what gender they actually identify as be established. Yet characters like Marco Diaz and Pidge are declared to be trans using evidence and justifications that actually contradict that idea entirely.But god forbid you point this out.

It's particularly annoying in speculative fiction because it sort of seems to defeat the whole point of the genre. Aliens and androids who don't understand human behavior and social behavior are not autistic. I'm sure many autistic people can relate these characters and their stories, but they're fucking aliens---they're are not any more autistic than a wild animal who fails to pick up on human social queues is autistic.

Appeal to fear
Appeals to fear seek to build support by instilling anxieties and panic in the general population, for example, Joseph Goebbels exploited Theodore Kaufman's Germany Must Perish! to claim that the Allies sought the extermination of the German people.
("Our opposition wants to massacre millions of people!")

Appeal to prejudice
Using loaded or emotive terms to attach value or moral goodness to believing the proposition.
("Genocide" vs. "Civil Rights")

Black-and-white fallacy
Presenting only two choices, with the product or idea being propagated as the better choice. (e.g., "You're either with us, or against us....")
("If you do this, you're ultimately helping the cause of the enemy")

Demonizing the enemy
Making individuals from the opposing nation, from a different ethnic group, or those who support the opposing viewpoint appear to be subhuman (e.g., the Vietnam War-era term "gooks" for National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam aka Vietcong, or "VC", soldiers), worthless, or immoral, through suggestion or false accusations. Dehumanizing is also a term used synonymously with demonizing, the latter usually serves as an aspect of the former.
("Our opposition favors genocide")

Exaggeration
An exaggeration (or hyperbole) occurs when the most fundamental aspects of a statement are true, but only to a certain degree. It is also seen as "stretching the truth" or making something appear more powerful, meaningful, or real than it actually is. Saying that a person ate 20 spring rolls at a party when they actually ate 7 or 8 would be considered an exaggeration.
(Framing the argument as essentially "good vs. evil")

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt
An attempt to influence public perception by disseminating negative and dubious/false information designed to undermine the credibility of their beliefs.
(See "Appeal to fear")

Glittering generalities
Glittering generalities are emotionally appealing words that are applied to a product or idea, but present no concrete argument or analysis. This technique has also been referred to as the PT Barnum effect. (e.g., the advertising campaign slogan "Ford has a better idea!")
("We're just trying to fight for civil rights!")

Guilt by association or Reductio ad Hitlerum
This technique is used to persuade a target audience to disapprove of an action or idea by suggesting that the idea is popular with groups hated, feared, or held in contempt by the target audience. Thus if a group that supports a certain policy is led to believe that undesirable, subversive, or contemptible people support the same policy, then the members of the group may decide to change their original position. This is a form of bad logic, where A is said to include X, and B is said to include X, therefore, A = B.
(See "Demonizing the enemy")

Intentional vagueness
Generalities are deliberately vague so that the audience may supply its own interpretations. The intention is to move the audience by use of undefined phrases, without analyzing their validity or attempting to determine their reasonableness or application. The intent is to cause people to draw their own interpretations rather than simply being presented with an explicit idea. In trying to "figure out" the propaganda, the audience forgoes judgment of the ideas presented. Their validity, reasonableness and application may still be considered.
(Using buzzwords without any explanation or elaboration)

Loaded language
Specific words and phrases with strong emotional implications are used to influence the audience, for example, using the word reforms rather than a more neutral word like changes.
(See "Appeal to prejudice")

Oversimplification
Favorable generalities are used to provide simple answers to complex social, political, economic, or military problems.
(See "Exaggeration")

Pensée unique
Enforced reduction of discussion by use of overly simplistic phrases or arguments (e.g., "There is no alternative to war.")
(See "Exaggeration")

Rationalization
Individuals or groups may use favorable generalities to rationalize questionable acts or beliefs. Vague and pleasant phrases are often used to justify such actions or beliefs.
(See "Glittering generalities")

Stereotyping, name calling or labeling
This technique attempts to arouse prejudices in an audience by labeling the object of the propaganda campaign as something the target audience fears, hates, loathes, or finds undesirable. For instance, reporting on a foreign country or social group may focus on the stereotypical traits that the reader expects, even though they are far from being representative of the whole country or group; such reporting often focuses on the anecdotal. In graphic propaganda, including war posters, this might include portraying enemies with stereotyped racial features.
("Genocide")

Straw man
A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.
(Self-explanatory)

But it's absolutely no such form of propaganda, you guys. That would be misrepresenting the argument and demonstrating my own racism~ uwu

Good to know that Dobson's still trying to make a name for himself in political cartoons. It's probably the most amount of effort he's ever put into anything.
