FragFM now supporting homophobia

The Whistle Blower | 20.10.2009 07:59

FragFM are renowned for their BNP Propaganda show on a Sunday afternoon with Gill And Heretic, but after reports were made by Indy Media, the show has subsequently closed down. See article  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/09/438795.html.

In the report, FragFM’s ‘Admin’ Mikee jumped to the rescue saying that this kind of behavior isn’t acceptable on FragFM, and that action would be taken.

However, Mikee is now starting all of the fuss. He’s been caught in FragFM’s IRC Channel, being homophobic towards FragFM’s very own DJ Subfocus.

DJ Subfocus is openly homosexual, and is happy with who he is. People respect him for who he is, But Mikee can’t seem to get over this, and is often hoarding homophobic remarks like “Fag”, “Queer” and so forth towards DJ Subfocus in IRC.

Why is it that he kicked up such a fuss over the BNP Propaganda show, but will happily start homophobic abuse and slander on IRC?

Seems a bit odd, considering he’s a ‘respectable member’ of the online radio.

Over to you.

Could it be that this little campaign of yours is no more than a way of using Indy as a form of advertising for your little radio station come gaming organisation ?

Not here

While your motives are spot on, this really isn't the place to highlight single occurances of hate-speech. Especially over the internet, with no physical threat. Otherwise we would be bombarded with millions of reports, this happens everyday.

Personally, I find it funny when people call me names on the internet, its called blanter, which could be the case here, if they both work for the same site?

What I do object to is when people swap "Gay" for stupid while insulting striaght people, not always - mainly out of boredoom, or frustration with idoits that can't make a bit of effort to express themselves.

More often than not I get annoyed when people take offence by proxy. Is it really your problem (or ours), could you not be spending your time fighting real abuse and injustice?

Put all the evidence together

Put all your evidence of this and the repvious incidents together, then take that to the partners of the station, the ISP, local press where the offenders live. Share their personal info with locals who might object to living near bigots. Be creative in how you hit back too.

Just got this one from IRC;

I wish I had a recording of the Vent chat where he said to Subfocus;

"We don't like gays, you're being kicked"

Following this, Subfocus was kicked from Vent.

Looks like Subfocus has now been banned from IRC and the Admin side of the forums;

Subfocus here.

Afternoon all,

DJ Subfocus here, just had a rather lengthy chat on MSN with Mikee and Max, and here's them rapidly pointing the blame at me;

Mikee says:
Ahhh hey sub
Mikee says:
So why did you submit that article?
Jamie says:
I didn't. Do you have any evidence that I did?
Mikee says:
It has your email at the bottom
Jamie says:
You can type any email in there, prove it's me.
Mikee says:
I dont think there is any need really
Jamie says:
Well, you've came on here making accusations, but have no evidence to back them up. Finish what you've started.
Mikee says:
Sub
Mikee says:
Your out
Mikee says:
Live with it
Mikee says:
I expect a "unfair dismissal" post on there aswell soon =']
Jamie says:
So you're basically saying you have no evidence then. Something you'll learn in life is that you can just go sweeping your problems under the carpet.
Jamie says:
can*t
Mikee says:
Its not a problem in the slighest
Mikee says:
If you thought me joking around was offensive all it would've taken is a quick word
Jamie says:
It is. You've been homophobic, you know you have. And you know you're in the wrong.
Mikee says:
So cry cry your river to sme1 else
- Μá× © says:
he said the word "gay" , how do you know it was pointed at you? , you said how you all doing, and mikee said gay, for all you know he could be feeling gay, so get over it tbh
Jamie says:
I'm not crying, i'm actually laughing at how pathetic you really are. I mean, you think people take homophobia as a joke? Go up to a black person, and make a racist joke. Do you think they'll find it funny?
Jamie says:
And why would he constantly pos gay after all of the other messages I put on there?
Jamie says:
post*
- Μá× © says:
i have only seem him say "gay" once
- Μá× © says:
today on IRC
Jamie says:
Anna's caught him, warned him. Yet he still continues to do it.
- Μá× © says:
do you know who posted that article then sub?
Jamie says:
It wasn't me! I was looking for the Racial Propaganda show one.
- Μá× © says:
do you know who it was?
Jamie says:
No.
- Μá× © says:
well thats funny
- Μá× © says:
how come if you dont know them, they got screenshots of the "evidence"
- Μá× © says:
work your way out tht one
Jamie says:
I added those.
Jamie says:
they wanted evidence, they got evidence.
- Μá× © says:
under the whistle blower? the same person who posted the article?
Jamie says:
Why not? Might as well make it look like the original poster for viewers.
- Μá× © says:
we know full well it was you who posted it , so stop lying to us about it.
Jamie says:
Prove it.
- Μá× © says:
its all there on the article
Jamie says:
Prove it.
- Μá× © says:
I Dont need to prove it.
Jamie says:
Well, you think it's me. So prove it.
Jamie says:
Don't come on here falsely accusing me of things, when you can't back yourself up.
- Μá× © says:
explain this to me then
- Μá× © says:
how did you find this article about mikee calling you "gay" aparantly, and you dont know the guy who wrote it?, i highly doubt there is some one in IRC who posted it.
- Μá× © says:
and the fact this "guy" knows your email
Jamie says:
I've had chats with about 6 different people on IRC, and they have all said about the homophobic views. They have all said that it's unfair. Any one of those could have wrote that article. As for my email, I have given that to all 6 of these people, they've been emailing me about potential gigs. As for the article, I was looking through the forums and came across the thread for the BNP Show.
Jamie says:
I saw the article, and searched it. Indymedia.
- Μá× © says:
and these poeple on IRC are?
Jamie says:
You think it's me, so why would you want to know.
Jamie says:
You seem so certain it's me, why on earth would you want their names?
- Μá× © says:
well come on, what are their names
Jamie says:
Or are you realising how blind you've been
Jamie says:
Because you know what, the person who wrote the article, it's not that far away from you.
Jamie says:
I'm done.
- Μá× © says:
I Want to know the users in IRC who you spoke to
Jamie says:
I'm done.
- Μá× © says:
I Want to know the users in IRC who spoke to you now biachh
- Μá× © says:
sub posts an article "FRAGFM IS NOW SUPPORTING BITCHES"
- Μá× © says:
rofl
Jamie says:
I'm done. Would you have investigated this before accusing me of doing it, I would quite happily have told you.
Jamie says:
But you've pointed it at me, so that's it.
Jamie says:
I'm done now.

If this doesn't sum up the immaturity of the FragFM admins, then I don't know what does.

I wish the following DJ's in FragFM the best for the future, and I hope they realise they can go much further;

Stuart - Kaboose
Votick
Wren
Anna
Gill
Scratchii.

You guys have shown that something good can come out of something bad, and I hope to DJ with you sometime in the future.

All the best,

DJ Subfocus
