Querying someone's position is what discussion is all about. I don't deliberately try to undermine anyone.

As regards "snowflake", I thought it was mostly aimed at young people such as when they get called the "Snowflake Generation" by certain groups of older adults. That was my point. It is sort of the opposite of "gammon". Snowflake mostly means young and left leaning, Gammon mostly means old and right leaning.

It’s your posting style, it’s just how you come across.

There’s no point going over it, unlike you I’ve got my opinion/s on the matter.

As for snowflake, it’s used for just about anything.

Snowflake is the same as a delicate flower. It can be referred to anyone who is so easily offended at anything all of the time.

Adults have constructed an image of this young generation, based on our own conceptions and experiences of the "what should be" that we had at that stage of life. This adult-centric view makes it possible to understand why they have been unfairly named the "crystal” or “snowflake” generation.

But it seems to be mainly aimed at young people. They have even be labelled the "snowflake generation".

As an example of a snowflake, punch him in the mouth and he will go down like a sack of potatoes screaming and looking for the police. A normal person of my generation will either throw a punch back or accept the punch was a warning, shake his hand and make friends.

The term snowflake has evolved from 1996.

Gammon is an outright insult and hate speech imho. Only aimed at one type of person!

I don't think how it is normally used. This is a quick Google:

AI Overview

"Snowflake" is a derogatory slang term used to describe someone perceived as overly sensitive, easily offended, and entitled, often implying a lack of resilience or an inflated sense of uniqueness. It suggests they are unable to handle criticism or opposing viewpoints. The term gained prominence in the 2010s, particularly in political discourse, and is often used to dismiss or belittle individuals or groups with differing opinions, particularly those who are perceived as being more liberal or socially conscious.

Origin and Usage:

• The term "snowflake" as a metaphor for individuality and fragility is not new, appearing in literature before the 2010s.
  
  
• However, its modern usage as an insult gained traction in the mid-2010s, often associated with young adults and college campuses.
• • It was popularized by figures like Claire Fox and became a common retort in political debates, particularly after events like Brexit and the 2016 US election.
  • The term is often used by those on the right to describe those on the left, but it can be used by anyone to describe someone perceived as overly sensitive or easily offended.

It’s a lot more offensive than “snow flake” that’s belittling it.

Snowflake makes no reference to skin colour.

It’s easy to test. Is there any insult based on skin colour, applicable to other skin colours that those who argue that gammon in not a racial insult, also find acceptable.

That's a logical fallacy.

Yeah like I said, it’s evolved since 1996.

It’s a blanket term now.

Gammon isn’t.

 

[motorbiking]

Is it an insult.
Is it based on skin colour

 

[Deleted member 317777]

That's a logical fallacy.

It’s true!

 

[motorbiking]

That's a logical fallacy.

Why?

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

Snowflake makes no reference to skin colour.

Wasn't it used in that situation comedy drama, in the early 70's, on TV - The white husband and wife, the black husband and wife, living next door to each other. The black male referred to the white male as snowflake.

 

[MNW67]

It’s true!

Why?

Because you propose that proof that gammon is a racist term would be failure to provide any other examples. That is a logical fallacy.
