Being related to awful people is interesting. I know someone who's great uncle or some such was a murderer who has been featured on those true crime shows (a lot more current than the civil war.) She talks about it because it is interesting. That doesn't mean she is condoning his actions or even proud necessarily. Seems like a silly leap to make.

She also play a noble serial killer on television?

NAYRT. Nathan Fillion played a noble serial killer who was named after his ancestor?

Granted, I've never actually seen Firefly, but I still feel your comparison is inaccurate.

Ey so I know fuck all about Nathon Fillion's career (I've seen him in like, one thing) but this secret from what I can gather, isn't about Joss Whedon's writing, it's about Fillion's attitude. If they had said they thought it was gross that Whedon used the name in whatever, fine. But they made an assumption about this guy's attitude because he has the gall to mention in at least one instance that he has shitty people in his family tree.

Even if Whedon used that fact, as I see from previous comments is a possibility, wouldn't that reflect on him and not Fillion?

So, I say again, telling a story because it is interesting should not be read as automatically condoning it.

It hadn't actually occurred to me before that this might have been something Fillion mentioned on set in a not-for-public-consumption way and then Whedon decided to use it for the lulz. If this is in fact what happened, then Whedon's a dick.

This on top of Firefly's weird post-US-Civil-War-only-without-slavery setting thing, which is uncomfortable enough already. :/

The more the internet uncovers things about Whedon (like his Chinese cultural appropriation or his penchant for trying to get every woman who comes within fifty feet of him go barefoot because that is how he likes his women) the creepier the guy gets. Now we can add fanboy of Confederacy and apologist for slavery. Great.

I'm not ready to conclude he's a Confederacy fanboy and/or apologist for slavery. I don't think there's sufficient evidence for that. It just raises the question of what he thought he was doing.
