Isn't that cultural appropriation?

By the way, although I clearly understand the true meaning of a Snowflake, George Will had a good article a short while back on it. He hit the nail on the head too.

One reason is because Michael is white. With the two different colors fighting against each other in the prison, C-Note just sees it as appropriate to call him Snowflake just for being white.
Another reason is because a snowflake is quite unique especially since it has such a fractal design (also might refer to the design on Michael's body...?). Snowflake could also be because C-Note finds Michael odd, and unique (for requesting weird medications and stuff)

Snowflake children is a term used by organizations that promote the adoption of embryos left over from in vitro fertilisation to describe children that result, where the children's parents were not the original cell donors.

Trump is a fantastic president and the Liberals were coined with the phrase "snowflakes" because they could never, (and still don't) accept that their President's name is Mr. Donald Trump!


The Liberals wanted Hillary for their President and have been whining non-stop for almost 7 months now....because their corrupt leader Hillary is pouting that she did not get the position and..... that Trump is now their President.

Or a blizzard. I think it's a funny insult esp when you consider storm Jonas.

I've taken pride in being a snowflake because one of my email addresses has it in the name. Plus I was born in winter so it's kinda like "so?" I actually hate winter but at the same time I do like being an Aquarius so to me a snowflake = an Aquarius. I am also delicate like a snowflake but sometimes this is a good thing because it means I won't hurt people for no reason but I don't tolerate rudeness either. I guess you could argue it's not entirely me if you take it literally because of the unique thing but I always say I'm the most unique snowflake of all. If you were to draw me as one the snowflake would have a face with a wonky eye and purple sparkles everywhere.
Considering this I would never call someone that because it's a compliment (Did you know snowflake is actually a term of endearment in relationships?) I've got my own less popular terms like fruitcake. Rarely have I seen that word used to insult someone. If you ever see me using this word, watch out as it obviously means I really don't like you.


Of course it's impossible to offend me with just words. I remember one time I joined a chatroom and the mod told me to kill myself. It only upset me once they blocked me before I said anything and I was seriously depressed too. However snowflake is like not even trying basically. Maybe though people say it because it's light enough to be moderator friendly.

Wow I was called an OP. Like a real person. How nice. I don't like wearing a uniform and conforming to groups so I guess snowflake fits me. Although I haven't seen one in years.

"Referring to someone, usually the Alt-Right, Yiannopoulos, And Nazi Sympathizers (A.K.A. ARYANS), whose immense white fragility causes a meltdown when confronted with the most minute deviation from orthodox White Supremacy. They often cry bloody murder when expected to give the most modest expression of basic human decency."

Urban Dictionary: Snowflake

Sounds more like cons to me.
