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.

So apparently snowflakes are also irony-impaired.
