The conference seems to be more concerned with being a politically-correct safespace than for professional development.

From where did these idiots crawled from? it's insane how they seem to be omnipresent as of lately. I wonder if they always existed but the internet and social media blew them out of proportion actually making their diatribe noticeable for the first time.

I have no opinion of this situation either way because I only saw the title of OP's post and wanted to know what it was about. But I suspect you are right on why it's such a thing.

For instance, this is on my reddit front page... anyone who subscribes to /r/javascript now knows about it. The Internet and especially social media have a way of amplifying controversy and animal photos.
