Do you identify as one? If so, what makes you so angry?

Been called a snowflake more than once, I'm not offended by much but I have my own opinions subjects.

Never made much sense to me, you're entitled to your opinion on a subject why aren't I without name calling? Always has puzzled me this has.

Because a lot of people genuinely can't differentiate between lively and informative discussion of opinions and personal attack. Some people use personal insult instead of counter argument and some take counter argument as personal insult. You can't enjoy a discussion like that

"What do you classify as a snowflake, anyone that has a difference of a opinion than you and challenges or doesn’t accept your viewpoint ? "

A snowflake is a person who is easily offended by an issue and puts up a vigorous argument to defend it, but woe betide anyone who disagrees with them even if it is a reasonable logical argument/ opinion. They shout down the opposing argument (uasually by mob rule) or worse still they deny any person or group the chance to state their case.

For example look at universities that ban guest speakers, many of those who are respected knowledgeable academics, just in case these snowflakes learn something that they don’t agree with and they have to go running off to their safe space.

God help them in the real world!

Snowflake refers to a generation of people that appear to be more easily offended than previous generations. Nobody here coined the phrase but all are free to use it if they wish. To suggest someone shouldnt use it limits free speach and thats much worse crime against humanity.

There and to the left a bit

Been called it more times than I care to remember - usually by people with a different opinion to me who are unable to debate their point rationally and reasonably so resort to using it as a put down and a means of expressing their argument - it's no different from white knight as a term that has been misappropriated and misused.

If I believe strongly enough in something I'll express my opinion, but am open to having it challenged rationally and intelligently - doesn't make me a snowflake just makes me someone with an opinion

Do you identify as one? If so, what makes you so angry?

I don't think I am. I'm sure I was when I was younger, but life has taught me so much over the past years I feel more laid back about life and how I react to things.

If I believe strongly enough in something I'll express my opinion, but am open to having it challenged rationally and intelligently - doesn't make me a snowflake just makes me someone with an opinion

Completely missing the point

I don't know if there is collective terms for fools.. maybe a Ship of Fools...

Or maybe that was just a catchy tune...

"Proud ‘snowflake’ here!

I’m angry about a lot of things OP.

I’ve only ever been called a snowflake by the older generation who disagree with my view, but can’t explain why

‘You believe in Black Lives Matter? God you’re such a snowflake’

‘You think women should be able to wear what they want and not be worried about r*pe? God you’re such a snowflake’

‘You’re offended by the fact I want to flash random women my cock without their consent? God you’re such a snowflake’

I reckon we could get on, you and I"

It's hard to summarise a life of experience in a few words! That's why they can't explain lol little Britain was a star show not long ago, now it's vile, but eating live animals on I'm a celebrity is OK. .... So many of the things don't tally, we care about the environment and cheer David Attenborough onto the stage during a concert to raise money, but leave 20 tons of plastic behind afterwards..... Hurray.

Think it's those things that make people think snowflake, I need work but not picking vegetables coz I'm better than that.... right on sister.... where's all the vegetarians when you need them... theres a hypocrisy at play....

Just had a conversation with a guy, yes Winston was racist but he did help stop Hitler. .. on balance hurray. Nelson Mandela was a good guy, but he did quite like domestic violence. ..... then I got the it's not the same la la la... ignoring the point people aren't perfect and if you are only having statues of perfect people there won't be any lol .. but we'll judge and remove, coz we know better than you.... coz your old young left right ... plastic phone but never did a paper round or collected the glass bottles lol thats why people see snow, perhaps?

The strangest social distancing that I see lately is that of actors and luvvies desperate to appear as if they care about the shows and people they parodied..maybe to save careers.. income..

All to appease the melts who feel it's fashionable to be offended on behalf of others who are not offended...

It's all about the money

To be honest, I think the "snowflake" badge is often handed out by people who don't like the fact that others are pointing out the error of their ways.

These "snowflakes" are offended by racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, sexism, transphobia etc, etc...

I think it's good that people are willing to speak out about feeling offended.

Snowflakes are desensitised and overly sensitive.

They are desensitised to things that don’t offend them because it doesn’t suit their narrative of “social justice” and overly sensitive to things that do offend them because it gives them something to put on “the gram”.

The problem with believing your own narrative of being an “individual” means that at some point in the near future you have the crashing realisation that you don’t belong.

If you are intolerant to others opinions whilst demanding tolerance to your opinions you create an echo chamber of outrage for outrage sake.

I pity the person that is unable to find balance in life, they will have the highest of highs, but the lowest of lows, that’s a trade I will not make.

There are reasons to be angry against some things that have nothing to do with being "offended". Like being angry at injustice to a person or group of people.

I've found that people who deride "snowflakes" are the first to complain about being insulted when you call them out with facts and logic.

Also its plausible that the violence of by groups is based upon social circumstances and absolutely not genetic

Perhaps rather than suggest a skin colour or genetics is the reason perhaps the disrespect in the host society towards the skin colour more accurately reflects a slightly higher percentage

Again maybe another symptom of the wide spread racism and not as is being suggested a reflection of the group

plus the 90% of black people in america murdered by other black people.fixing this issue would save a much larger amount of lives

Whataboutism. The weakest response to any argument.

I'm not refusing to debate a difficult subject. You are trying to change the subject by deflecting attention from the matter at hand.

What I said.

"Must be nice to be able to joke about people being triggered. If you’d ever experienced trauma or were suffering from PTSD you wouldn’t consider those that require triggger warnings to be snowflakes- many of us are bad-ass, survivor, warriors just trying to get through the shit we’ve been through. "

Well said.

‘Snowflake’ very much like it’s counterpart ‘gammon’ are terms used by lazy minds when they lack the comprehension needed to partake in an civilised debate.

"The "you are being *insert random reason to be offended" generation.

Do you identify as one? If so, what makes you so angry?

To be honest, I think the "snowflake" badge is often handed out by people who don't like the fact that others are pointing out the error of their ways.

These "snowflakes" are offended by racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, sexism, transphobia etc, etc...

I think it's good that people are willing to speak out about feeling offended.

What a truly ridiculous thing to say. By any chance do you also shout 'all lives matter' whenever anyone brings up blm?"

Why's it ridiculous ? To stop the spread of disease? The pyramids were built by slaves? Tell me why they should stand as a monument to slavery? Why should Nelsinho Mandela stand as a monument to domestic abusers? Pull it alll down its time for change lol can't you handle it?

You say that but you know perfectly well it's false.

Near where I live there were nationally notorious cases of child abuse, they were prosecuted and received long sentences.

For some reason the critics ignored the white perpetrators.

Fortunately acceptance and therapy have come a long way in some circles.

It's just a pity that a term for a severe consequence of PTSD is used to imply that people who disagree with a position are somehow psychologically unstable.

I'm really enjoying the debate, a lot of points of view and people with very strong opinions. Thankfully everyone is being respectful.

Personally I think it's possible, it is possible, but they've got to come down, oh well, we got to enjoy them, I've seen them, shame other people won't but smashing things up serves a purpose

Good discussion.. Here's another angle. I wonder how many of those vociferously protesting and by adjunct now digging into historical aspects of slavery, give a crap about modern day slavery and where their 200 pound trainers or designer jackets were made and distributed. We can't change the past but we can certainly choose how and what products we buy today.

Why foster disharmony, when valuing others and differences is more positive and valuable?
