Joss Whedon has come out as against GamerGate.

As a prolific writer and director, I wouldn't hold your breath for him to engage directly with the acting community, but his disagreement is strongly implicit in what he has said.

(I'm not a huge Whedon stan or anything, but it's heartening to see.)

That's nice, but as long as gamergate fans are posting pictures of Baldwin with Whedon and Fillion with their tag attached, it's about time to be a little more specific than retweeting something which never names the controversy. Both of them have world-class geek street cred, and they've decided that some form of bro loyalty to their deranged friend is more important than taking a clear stand. It's not the first time.
