Boiler Room responds to bigotry in comments section
This week, producer and DJ Nightwave DJ’ed a Boiler Room broadcast that was met with sexist comments instigated by the fact that Nightwave is a woman (apparently that pisses some people off). The Glasswegian producer responded to the barrage of bigotry by tweeting one witty hater-crushing tweet after another. Some of her more colorful missiles below:
Boiler Room also stood up for Nightwave, launching their own Twitter crusade and assuring some personal accounts that they plan to integrate moderators to shut down abuse in the comments section. “We obviously can’t just shut down any comment when someone is like, ‘They fucked up that mix, that song is shit’ but we can’t allow straight up vile transphobic, misogynistic, racist things to carry on,” said Gabriel Szatan, host and programmer at Boiler Room, to FACT. “We’re scratching our heads on determining how to monitor it but we know that today is the line in the sand. It [will be] difficult, but that’s not to absolve ourselves. As the biggest live streaming company in the underground that should stand [up] for its liberal values, we know now that it’s our responsibility to lead the field.”
