I may reluctantly agree with you there except I can't help wonder if it was a much-later-than-the-show retcon tacked on by the movie.
Besides, would discourse about "savages" on the western frontier be more acceptable if someone wrote that smallpox-infected blankets made them evil that way?
oh come on. literally the movie was made to close a bunch of threads that were opened in the only season, which was cut off.
if you're going to assume bad faith, go bigger.
just say that Captain Malcolm Reynolds was literally a double secret slaveowner and that the finale of the series after 12 seasons was originally going to be him assaulting his human property on his own private planet for 45 minutes to the tune of Dixie on a loop while shouting "Serenity Now!"
because who can say that isn't what they had in mind all along??
I'm not sure how else to phrase what you call a "sanctimonious affect" when I really don't want to further discuss it with someone that blew up on me before trying to continue the discussion in the same post.
I'd say you just don't need to narrate being huffy with them. Express that you are upset and why (as you did) and just leave the announcement that their media sharing attempt failed left unsaid because any reasonable person can figure it out and the conversation is no longer really about that. If they somehow need to ask or are oblivious, then of course there is no begrudging you giving such an account.
At least, that is how I would personally approach the issue since you express uncertainty of how one could.
If you think I'm "huffy" I could with similar evidence say the same about your two posts here. If you sent them as personal messages the stated claimed purpose would still get received without the "you're huffy, I don't approve of how you post" public part.
Showing up just to post about how you don't like how I post, "huffy" or not, can cut both ways.

Wasn't the entire conceit of Firefly that Mal was a space confederate soldier but without any of the slavery of the actual confederacy?
If Whedon hadn't wanted to whitewash his source inspiration, Mal would definitely be a slaveowner
No need to blow up at me. I don't know that much about the show and only speculated and was open to being wrong there.
I'm less interested in exploring it further after your post.
I'm pretty sure I've seen people pull this sanctimonious affect on you multiple times. He who fights monsters, etc.
Maybe.
