Skye Reynolds 07/08/18 10:33:52 AM #5:	It's one of those terms that's been ruined through misuse and overuse. To me, a "snowflake" is somebody who is pretentiously trying to be unique. If someone dyes their hair green and buzzes off one side of their head, that person's a snowflake. Yet, somehow, the term became associated with emotional fragility. And like every other buzzword in this generation, it became incorporated into political vernacular. If you call someone a snowflake, you're a conservative. It's like a political and ideological Civil War. There's no such thing as neutral terminology. They'll try to force you to pick one side or the other and, if you don't identify, they'll try to claim you for their own or as part of the opposition. Fuck that noise. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:904699048] in John Clees... [t:76787824]...</cite> <quote>It's one of those terms that's been ruined through misuse and overuse.

You should be allowed to make fun of and say whatever you want! Who cares what people think!" And now where he is saying that people who hold his own views are psychopaths. And keep in mind Monty Python was shocking and controversial when it came out. Both the TV Show and Life of Brian. There's a reason why it inspired South Park. Sure it seems tame now, but at the time people were mortified.
