Quick explanation for the lurking DUmmies out there,
The term "Snowflakes" is primarily used for the ultra- wussy, ultra- liberal Social- Justice- Warrior types who find literally everything to be horrifically offensive in some way, always have something to whine about (Usually a First World Problem or something similarly petty and pointless), and are "Triggered" by anyone saying anything they disagree with.
The term has risen in use over the last couple months, in reference to the similar wimpy millennials ranting about Trump's win like spoiled five- year- olds, and needing to pet therapy puppies and doodle in adult coloring books to stabilize themselves because they are so bothered that a man they disagree with won the election.
