Who popularized this term? I've never heard it used so much until recently.
I am posting this question here since its usually used as a political insult from what I can tell. If you plug in "snowflake" into the search box, 90% of threads that contain this are in this Political forum.
So who gets the credit for making this a common insult?

The term evolved to describe the millennial's who have lived very sheltered lives compared to many previous generations. e.g the one distant relative I have that had to be shown how to use a broom at the age of 20.

Correct, and now we discover that the Head Snowflake is actually sitting the oval office and his minions are not much better. Whatever, this is where we are now. Good to see the coal industry is Booming again.

There are whiners and criers in every generation. We just have technology now that makes it so that it is harder to ignore said whiners and criers. This generational nonsense gets a bit old. And, surprise surprise (not), the younger people tend to use that technology more. But man, I have seem some nonsense posted by older people whining on Facebook (or Twitter)...
The millennials are know are too busy to be complaining about this stuff - they are having children, buying homes, or just churning through the corporate world. Like all other generations before them.
Snowflakes are unique and popularize with “no two snowflakes look alike” compared to how children today are brought up believing that they are unique and special. When they find out they are not special or unique, their immature attitudes cause them to whine... much like the anti-Trumpers when they found out that they lost and are not the center of the universe...

As far as i can tell the origin is from early 90's motivational posters that said something like "you are special and unique just like a snowflake" some variation of that, it might even been an apple thing along that whole "think different" campaign.
Keep in mind that no child raises itself. Millennials are the end product of their parent/parents, schools, internet, and television. If you think Millennials are bad wait for the next batch.
The original meaning of snowflake comes from the concentration camps. As the ashes floated through the air from the ovens, the guards referred to them as snowflakes. It is intended to demean whomever they refer to as a snowflake.
