malkaI'm up late for tedious (yet predictable) reasons, so this is a burst of insight without sufficient explanation or justification.
Large parts of the Disney version of Mulan are slash, but the viewpoint character (and also the one wearing more clothing) is female.
Obligatory footnote: I know about femslash, but the gloweringly emotional sword fight backstory seems to only be an element of, um, melslash?
Obligatory footnote ^ 2: I think I'd actually really like reading a gloweringly emotional sword fight backstory for femslash, as well as the the ensuing slash.
Obligatory footnote ^ 3: Bits of Strangers in Paradise are about as close as a non-slash-savvy work of art is going to come to the previous footnote. Hmm.
