“your generation is just a bunch of snowflakes none of you can take a joke”
OR
MAYBE.
Your generation is rude, extremely disrespectful, and oppressive and our generation knows when a joke is NOT funny because it’s disrespectful and targeting people, and our generation is better because some of us actually know how to respect and love and accept everyone and we shouldn’t have to “take” jokes that target our very existence and make us feel like less than human pieces of shit
yeah. “just a bunch of snowflakes”
"I'm definitely real." added Clare. "Isn't music rad, or cool, or something?"
I millennial sono un po' permalosi e affetti da ipersensibilità. Ma forse i più grandi nemici dei cosiddetti fiocchi di neve sono i fiocchi di neve stessi.
Snowflake Generation
What am I but offence and inverted hurt, slashed forearms and a consequence of the fear of expressing negativity. What a lot of pit you've carved out for me, I can't sarcastically thank you because I'll hurt your efforts. Unleashing and allowing is forbidden: spitting out venom must now be swallowed until my stomach ulcerates Swaddled me in cotton wool until I've become allergic to nuts and anxiety. Humility becomes self depreciation. Doubt becomes fact. Want becomes entitlement. and out of all of this I become miserable. I become mistake. I become fault. I become nothing. A burden on resources, on parents, on the system, whatever the hell the system is, but I'm sure I'm taking advantage of it, I'm no good after all. I begin comparing myself to pile up, Crashed cars and used tissues. Disaster and dirt. I apologise for my gentle ways. Sorry for being a mess. Sorry for being so negative, but where is it all going to go? You don't want it, we can't be angry at you, look at all you've done for us, look at how dependable we are, what a gift you never got. You think we're pathetic? Then give us the chance to show you our wrath. Take your responsibilities like I do. Take blame. Be a goddamn adult. You think we're soft? Coat us in varnish. Don't just mock us. I'll just hate you more.

[W10] The "Snowflake" Smokescreen: How the Label Silences the Reality of Online Harassment
Especially in the UK, some folks in politics and the media are calling young people, especially college students, the "snowflake generation." Basically, it's a way of saying they think young people are way too sensitive and get offended super easily.
There is this big study in 2021 with 810 students at a UK university (Haslop et al., 2021). Turns out, online harassment is super common–students see it as just a normal part of being online. And get this: they're more likely to put up with it than do anything about it, which is the opposite of being all sensitive and whiny, right?
The study also found that women and transgender students get hit with this online harassment way more often (Haslop et al., 2021). So, while some people are busy calling young people "snowflakes," these students are dealing with some serious crap online.
This whole "snowflake" label is doing a lot of damage (Haslop et al., 2021). It's basically taking the attention away from what's really going on, which is that online harassment is a huge problem, and it's affecting people's lives, especially women and transgender people. It's not just about being "too sensitive"; it's about dealing with actual abuse.
Think about it: if every time a young person speaks up about something messed up they saw online, they get called a "snowflake," are they going to keep speaking up? Probably not. That's how this label silences people. It stops them from talking about the real issues, because they don't want to be seen as some oversensitive crybaby.
Basically, this "snowflake" thing is a smokescreen. It hides the fact that online harassment is creating a real divide, where some people feel like they can't even participate online.
