Are you offended by the term. I mostly hear it used by the neo-right, UKIP, the lunatic fringe of Trump supporters and the far right Breitbardt News Network so for that reason I'm a bit queasy about it. It's a sort of ubiquitous tough guy taunt. That will make me a snowflake of course which is why it is such a handcuff of an insult, no one has a key. As for your thread itself, I'm fine with it, its not fall down and roll around on the floor laughing funny but it's doing its best to limp along! And so as I walk with my daughter on a crisp winters morn along the once green lush pastures now covered in a gift from a above like a giants white quilt embroidered with sparkling diamonds, my daughter points up towards the sky and she says to me ...zieg hiel, zieg hiel my little blonde haired blue eyed angel 😇 is in fact a card carrying neo nazi, borderline physco and supports Trumps sympathy for the KKK and I thought she was pointing at Snowflakes !

You make a good point, its been well and truly hijacked, it was the Collins Dictionary 'Word of the year' for 2016 and got added to the definition. snowflake in British (ˈsnəʊˌfleɪk ) noun 1. one of the mass of small thin delicate arrangements of ice crystals that fall as snow 2. any of various European amaryllidaceous plants of the genus Leucojum, such as L. vernum (spring snowflake), that have white nodding bell-shaped flowers 3. informal, derogatory a person, esp a young person, viewed as lacking resilience and being excessively prone to taking offence

If the truth is offensive then that's their problem. If you're called a peado and you're not, then that's offensive. If you're called violent but you're not, then that can be offensive. If you're called a snowflake because you get offended at the slightest thing, that's not offensive. It's why you're a snowflake.
That very much depends on your definition of “the slightest thing”, doesn’t it? Would it make me a snowflake if I took exception to people making monkey noises at black footballers? Or to use a current example, does it make me a snowflake if I speak out against the US Government for seizing toddlers at the border, separating them from their parents and shipping those kids off to detention centers and locking them away in cages? I’ve seen plenty of people called “snowflakes” recently for objecting to that practice. One man’s “slightest thing” is another man’s living nightmare. That’s why I fucking despise the term “snowflake”. That's not my definition of snowflake.
Someone who cares about the world and what's going on isn't a snowflake. Someone using other peoples problems to hide behind because they weren't able to become the person they thought they could be, is a snowy. They need their voice heard. By hook or by crock.

That’s why I fucking despise the term “snowflake”. None of those things you describe are in snowflake territory. But the line you have to cross to get into "snowflake" territory is going to be very different, depending on the individual. Personally, I've got no problem with bad language and a bit of off-colour chanting at the match. It's all part of the experience for me, and always has been. I draw a line at hurling racist abuse and the whole "IRA" thing has always been fucking cringeworthy.....even more so now, since it's largely a bunch of kids who have no fucking clue what they're chanting about, and their lives haven't remotely been impacted by anything the IRA have done. With that said, I can understand why some fans with young kids might not appreciate some of what goes on. Not wanting their 8 and 9 year old kids to be exposed to bad language and abusive chanting doesn't make them "snowflakes" and I'm not going to judge somebody for wanting to raise their kids that way. I'm not saying they should expect not to hear any of that stuff at the match, but can respect their point of view and frustration. I'm sure at some point, the modern-day football fan will start to outnumber the traditional fan base, and the football culture we know and love will change. It already has to a large extent, in some ways for the worse, and some for the better. Football is no different to any other walk of life. Things change, some people don't like that and some embrace it. That's just the way of the world.

Oh yes, 'snowflake', a handcuff of an insult and nobody has the key. By calling someone a snowflake, you are not just shutting down their opinion, but telling them off for being offended that you are doing so! Does anyone even get offended if they're called a snowflake? i think its quite sad that people need to use the term Snowflake ,find it quite childish in fact , if someone called it me i think i would find it quite funny certainly wouldn't be offended,probably just shack my head and wonder if they are all there in the head.

I'm surprised swearing hasn't been banned already, attending football matches has become increasingly a more middle class/upper middle class pursuit, you can't have young tarquin hearing such bad language by gruff working class folks. I can see pies being banned next, they're far too fattening and the working class need to be taught how to eat properly, no doubt by 2020 we'll have quinoa on the menu, football is going the way of glastonbury, sanitised, safe and boring.

I’d say if the person calling someone a ‘snowflake’ is saying it to be derogatory and to belittle the other person, then I’d take offence to the persons action rather than the word itself. However I’d prefer if they’re going to do that to not use the word Snowflake because we all love a good snowflake don’t we xx Maybe use Ubercu^t or Wankstain instead to save any misunderstandings ya knobbers

You clinically obese child of an unmarried mother, she did her best for you, but it's hard to grow up in absolute poverty...
Alternatively...
The referee likes to manually stimulate himself sexually, which is a healthy practice for those who want to be at one with their physical, mental and sexual being...

I prefer literal songs:
“My garden shed is not literally bigger than your stadium, and neither does it have four windows, but I must declare that your stadium is on the smaller size and it is certainly much smaller than our own stadium.”
“You must have arrived here in a number of taxis or on a large coach as you have not sold your full allocation of tickets.”
“You’re likely to be going home in your own mode of transport as the local emergency services do not arrange for ambulances to take you beyond the hospital.”

The referee, enjoys the pleasures of his own body via auto-eroticism...
The referee, is able to satisfy his needs sexually through manual stimulation....
Absolute belters right there.
