Why is there so many snowflakes? Not just on here but in general. My ears are always open for anyone, if it's not for me I will politely tell u so u can move on without wasting your time, there's really no offence meant and no need for abuse, especially when I know u wouldn't say it to my face

I find this snowflake description odd. All these issues that are blamed on 'snowflakes' are normally news stories brought to light by right wing news papers.

We are in strange times, it's pick a side and stick to it matter what your team does. The recent bullying accusations are a great example. John Berkow gets accused of bully...bad. Priti Patel and it's her being a strong leader and 'getting the job done'. Surely both are bad as each other of it's true???

Snowflakes are those who are easily offended and think them being offended means they are right or have some moral high ground, just weak minded insecure bitches is all.

An example of a “snowflake” would be somebody saying: ‘please stop screwing the world up by using too much fossil fuels, it can cause heart problems and cancer’.

In reality the actual snowflake is the one who is ‘offended’ by people who try to create a more positive world. I know what I’ve said is open to more interpretation but, you get the gist.

In the news, there was a vegan woman in the US who went out jogging between 12-2pm. She put notes through her neighbours' doors asking them to either not cook meat during these times, or close their windows because the smell offended her. I think she wins the title.

I have no idea what you are talking about. You sound like you are projecting. Someone is a insecure weak minded bitch if just someone having a different opinion makes them freak out and then try to control their speech or thoughts or even try to silence that person because they are offended. .

I couldn’t possibly comment on the case as I don’t know anything about it. But another example of a snowflake that I hope melts and evaporates pretty soon would be Katie Hopkins saying things like: ‘Londoners deserve all the attacks they get with their multiracial city’ and then going like ‘boo hoo, nobody wants me in Britain because I speak the truth and everybody else are sheep so I’m off abroad’.

Actually I suspect you consider anyone that diesnt let you say what you want without retribution to be a snowflake.

Calling people insecure bitches is offensive. Pointing out that doesn't make anyone a snowflake. Your inability to consider that what you say might be the problem rather than people's reaction is typical of the Piers Morgan, school of hard life, tell it how it is brigade and it's really not a positive character trait

I think the term snowflake is a strange one for this but my view on it is that most of these so called snowflakes are younger idealistic entitled people.

I don't refer to every younger person in this before we start ww3 over ageism.

There are many in the younger generation (say up to 23 y/o) and plenty in the generations above who are offended by whatever is going on at some point but then there are those who are offended by everything.

Society has changed so much that films and stand up comedians from when I was in my teens and earlier just wouldn't happen nowadays.

Could you imagine th uproar if someone remade Trading Places or one of the Carry On films or if we were fortunate enough to have a comedian like Richard Pryor doing stand up, he'd be booed off stage.

I find that in today's society there are more people complaining about something and it just prevents people from enjoying what they enjoy, sometimes.

Whoever coined snowflake could've used a better term in my opinion

I suppose it depends who you are. Bernard Manning was very funny to some, probably not to black people that were (and still are) experiencing racism every day. Should we just allow people like him to just spout off shit that offends people?

Hmm. Young people are entitled to be idealistic. They are inheriting a world with too many problems and those problems need solutions, not hand-waving "in my day" lectures from those that should have fixed them in the first place.

The prevailing narrative from the older generation right now should be "Our parents saved us from the Nazis, that was their legacy - our legacy to you is a world on fire. We could have fixed this but we were too busy selfishly hoarding wealth; dealing with climate change might have meant some small hardships we weren't prepared to face up to, dealing with inequality might have meant we couldn't afford our second car or our kitchen extension. And now we realise that, and we're sorry"

Conversely they're the people who are vocally indignant about the decline in 'British values', because of a misplaced belief (due largely to their being manipulated by the tabloid press) that foreigners/gay marriages/Muslims and the 'PC Brigade' are going to materially affect the fabric of their very fragile lives!

Ps..if half the people who celebrate the Christmas religious festival were actually Christians I might have some sympathy for them

I find it mildly disturbing that so many want to shut down or restrict a word simply because they do not like it or do not know how to use it. Many have tried, with many words - like "freedom", "rights" and "individuality". If you do not like the word in its context, do not use it, or argue against it logically. Do not try to ban it. It is a slippery slope between banning words and burning books.

Those who try and insult people with the term snowflake will also then cry about their freedom of speech to be hateful, rude and intolerant.

Not understanding that freedom of speech isn't freedom of consequence or repercussion.

Amber Rudd was supposed to speak at a University for women's day as an ex equalities minister and she was banned 30 minutes before her appearance a committee vote because of her alleged link to the windrush scandal.

That in my view is a snowflake decision. Why not use the oppoy to discuss the Eindrush scandal.. no platforming is pathetic in my view.. As if Amber would hurt their delicate little ears..

Diddums..

And to prove this snowflakeism isn't the preserve of the lefties, I once tried to attend a public BNP meeting, just to see what went on. I was refused entry, albeit politely.

"Does make me laugh when old people make out they're somehow from tougher stuff... then you take a look at how people actually looked in the 60s, 70s, 80s! "

I think that's a bit of a generality. I certainly don't think we were tougher than people born later. Personally think that younger people have a far harder time now than we did, as do most of my ageing friends.

I am also very liberal and happy to be called a snowflake.

"Much of the time it’s certain people being offended on behalf of others and then students and young people get the blame. I think they are called adult Libtards, they have children call Tarquin and celebrate every single religious festival except Christmas.

Conversely they're the people who are vocally indignant about the decline in 'British values', because of a misplaced belief (due largely to their being manipulated by the tabloid press) that foreigners/gay marriages/Muslims and the 'PC Brigade' are going to materially affect the fabric of their very fragile lives!

Ps..if half the people who celebrate the Christmas religious festival were actually Christians I might have some sympathy for them "

Who the fuck cares.

They invited her, then they changed their mind. It's a bit silly, but calling it 'no platforming' is so melodramatic and, dare I say, snowflakey. She's not being oppressed or silenced in any way. She has every bit the same platform she did before she got this one single invitation.

Again, I'm struggling to understand this notion of the 'snowflake'. Are we saying a black person being offended by racism is a snowflake? Is a disabled person objecting to ridicule a snowflake? If I object to it on there behalf, am I a snowflake?

All this nonsense you hear...'cant say anything anymore in this country'....yes you can. Say what you want, but don't shout 'snowflake' when somebody calls you out for being a twat.

The term snowflake has come to me to mean don't appreciate racism or prejudice against particular religions is it really being to soft to not appreciate those things people who spout racism or other prejudices are quick to cry about freedom of speech

I think it's being offended by very trivial things. I would not put racism or even sexism in that category personally. I have read definitions of snowflake which make the modern dictionaries.

I think we all have our own definitions and can spot one when we see one.
