[QUOTE="Janx, post: 8363321, member: 8835"] let's consider for a moment. Rebels. Yes, we who hate racism and slavery know gosh dang well the Civil War was absolutely about the South seceding so they could have slaves. period. It's been discussed as its own thread within these hallowed halls even. So. Is every dang story that's got rebels or civil war in it going to get compared to the Lost Cause? At some point, a body's got to look at why they were fighting. Now it probably didn't help that Mal's side had southern accents, but I don't get the feeling Mal trafficked in slaves. The similarity was skin deep. Continuing that line. Notice how folks pick up on that for Star Wars and Firefly, and only like recently has anybody ever challenged the fact that all the vampires fought for the South. Twilight. Interview. Diaries. All those sons of blood suckers fought for the south and kinda white-washed over the whole "didn't mind enslaving people" it was just the "drinking blood" they couldn't abide. Throw rocks at people aligned with evil. Not because of their southern accent. [/QUOTE]
