DON’T CALL US SNOWFLAKES OR WE’LL CRY
YOU COULDN’T MAKE IT UP
SNOWFLAKES are moaning yet again – about being called snowflakes.
A trans author claimed it is a “derogatory way to deride” her.
SNOWFLAKES managed to get offended again yesterday – over being called snowflakes.
The term was a “dehumanising” insult, according to one angry critic.
Trans author Juno Dawson said: “The phrase is used in a derogatory way to deride those, particularly on the left of the political spectrum, and those with progressive liberal views.”
She added: “It’s dehumanising, and it makes it easier to start challenging people’s rights because you aren’t dealing with a Juno or a Michael, you are dealing with a snowflake.”
The 37-year-old also said it made no sense considering Britain could not cope with bad weather.
She said: “Three flakes of snow and the entire country grinds to a halt for three weeks.
“So we should be rightfully scared of snowflakes because we won’t be silenced, and I include myself in generation snowflake.”
She also claimed the word was ruining our ability to discuss real issues and was removing “nuance”.
Juno said: “These words ‘snowflake, showdown, Brexit’, they are taking incredibly complicated moral and political ideas and completely packing them into much too simplistic terms.” The row comes after a spate of snowflake incidents in the past few months.
At Manchester University, students voted to ban clapping in case it upset people with anxiety issues.
The snowflake generation also ruined fancy dress, with cowboy costumes being being banned by the Kent University students union. And Britain’s bakers have even been hit, with gingerbread men now under threat.
Bakers in York have now renamed the classic treats “Gingerbread Persons”.
Even lessons are being affected, with complaints made at Portsmouth University during a lecture on fossils.
A lecturer received complaints after using a picture of human testicles to explain the shape of one dinosaur fossil.
Children have even been unable to bring bags into lessons because of the snowflake hysteria.
Bosses at Spalding Grammar School in Lincolnshire have banned rucksacks in case smaller children get hit by them.
Dwarf wrestlers were also targeted by snowflakes, who complained their performance was akin to Victorian “freak shows” despite the fact that members of the troupe all wanted to take part.
