Horrible? No. This is a tiny little thing, the rest of his behavior can stand on its own, and I've never heard anything very horrible. But I don't understand why he'd make the claim if he's not proud of it, and I don't understand how someone could be proud of it if they don't buy into the noble-fallen-Confederacy mythos.

Woah, that's a huge leap.

I have a friend who's related to John Hinckley and has mentioned it in mixed company more than once, because it's a weird trivia fact about himself. I suppose you would conclude from that that he supports assassination as a way of impressing girls.

The difference being that very few people admire John Hinckley for assassination as a way of impressing girls, while rather more than a few admire various Confederate generals. And also, I would guess your friend doesn't widely advertise the fact to people he doesn't personally know.

I'm pretty sure he mentioned it once and it's been picked up over and over again. It's not like he's bragging.

Stating a fact =/= being proud of the fact. Sometimes people just bring up tidbits about themselves in conversation/interviews and that's all it is. A piece of information about himself.

Without context I don't see how you can claim that he believes in the noble-fallen-Confederacy myth. That's kind of presumptuous to guess a man's feelings on a war that ended 150 years ago.

OP, Jubal Early was the name Joss chose for the bounty hunter who comes after River in Firefly. My guess is that's the context in which Fillion's relation to the *real* man came up. It's not like he trotted it out as something he's proud of--it's a funny coincidence that Joss named the character after one of Nathan's ancestors.

Oh, I dunno. People like being from somewhere, it really doesn't matter where. It's human nature to be proud of our ancestry, no matter what it is.

I've always perceived this situation as very "proud to be able to put a name on part of my history" more than the rest.
