Firefly came out on DVD at a very particular time in my life and my wife and I were huge fans. We even considered naming a daughter (if we ever had one) Inara.

But more than 20 years have passed and looking back at it leaves me uncomfortable.

Broken Chinese spoken mostly by white actors, but no time for Asian actors. This weird Confederate apologia. Hell, naming a faction the "Browncoats" when the Brownshirts were Hitler's paramilitary. The lead repeatedly negging his love interest and calling her a WHORE...

Ron Glass is dead so if they bring back Shepherd Book they'll have to recast it, but they made damn sure to bring back Adam Baldwin -- who I'll remind everyone was a damned GamerGater.

This whole thing is making me 😬.

There's no win here. What was accepted 20 years ago isn't (or shouldn't be) acceptable today. If they change Firefly, people will complain it doesn't match up to the original. If they don't change Firefly, people will complain it doesn't meet the current political climate.
