That's another word getting misused. I have seen people who do fit the term, and yet other people throw it around too much. It has become a way to bully someone into being politically correct or progressive. I've seen people throwing around words like "woke", "snowflake", and so many others that there is no longer a discussion to be had. It's just people being jerks to each other while also trying to prove who is better.

I do believe there are some good conversations to be had about a wide variety of important topics; but only under the agreement that everyone be civilized and constructive. If everyone leaping in can't agree to that, then there is no conversation, and everything is destined to turn into a mess that solves nothing.

Wait huh? I've seen it used the opposite way, used to bully people who ARE progressive, while not really explaining their own view of the topic, even when asked, and will only repeat "snowflake" like a parrot

But absolutely, it should go unspoken that you leave personal insults out of constructive conversation
Firstly, it doesn't really help you convince the person of your perspective, if you're going to insult those you want to listen to you in the process. Thats debate 101
But it seems like people online don't understand this

@Altastrofae Interesting. I guess "snowflake" can be used either way. Either way, I am glad we agree.
