Snowflakes
Snowflakes don't like being called Snowflakes.
"Don't call us snowflakes - it damages our mental health, say young people"
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017...-young-people/
"Being called a "snowflake" is damaging to mental health, young people say. Figures show that the majority of young people think the term is unfair - and even more think it could have a negative effect of its own.
The "snowflake generation" is a disparaging term now commonly used to refer to young people, who are perceived to be over-sensitive and intolerant of disagreement.
But research by insurance firm Aviva found that 72 per cent of 16-24 year-olds think the term is unfairly applied, while 74 per cent think it could have a negative effect on young people's mental health...."
Snowflake - it the shoe fits wear it.

But they all have emergency safe places now? How can this be?
Maybe "Offensive Name Calling Cancelling Earphones?"

Tis the season for many a snowflakes to be triggered by decorations, singing, and commercial sales of holiday capitalism.
Wonder how many will meltdown and off themselves leaving only puddles and ripples behind?

You're not being very understanding and sensitive to the snowflakes.
Where's my banning option.

I’m unique, different, special, one-of-a-kind, and beautiful! Don’t rain on my parade!
I’m like Frosty in a greenhouse...
Stay frosty my friends!

Liberals vehemently object to any label which is "sticky" and accurate.
It undermines their ability to brainwash through newspeak.
The most dangerous labels are those which also effectively ridicule their own supporters.
Against such ridicule there is no defense.
Trump is a master of this, which is why he causes mass apoplexy among them.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will trigger feelings of insecurities that can lead to deep seeded mental health issues.

Is that "deep seeded"...or deep seated? Words mean things!

Undeniably deep seeded - planted within the psyche and allowed to grow
unchecked
wild
unattended
eventually, this deep seeded insecurity breaks forth and manifests itself as a giant vagina-hat worn during a protest - studies have shown that up to 74% of millennials may or may not agree with scientific studies on this topic while the rest may or may not actually report being triggered
...science
