** ''Explanation'': A reference to an University of Massachusetts Amherst event on 25 April 2016, which featured a discussion criticizing [[Political Correctness Gone Mad|politically correct movements on campus]] hosted by conservative vlogger Steven Crowder, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Christina Hoff Sommers. [[Meaningful Name|This quickly caught the ire of student protestors]], who tried to shut down the event and accused the speakers of "hate speech" among other things.
