Nope. Not even on Urban dictionary. You can be hurt OR offended (as in annoyed).

And all the real dictionaries just note it means oversensitive.

You aren’t seriously trying to make something into an official definition of snowflake, are you?

There is an official defintion of snowflake. It has been used that much mostly by right wingers to claim someone is over sensitive.

And yes, I’m sure they will hypocritical put their own reactions as somehow different to the liberal reactions despite them using similarly toned replies. That’s part of the hypocrisy. Most of the people who use that phrase uniroincally are hypocrites.

Oh there is, and it includes offended, and as such hurt, but not annoyed, except as part of offended.

As such, my bet still stands. Hurt is very much a part of the insult, considering the whole “hurt feelings” thing around the word. Definitely a stronger case than saying hurt isn’t a part of it.

I never said hurt wasn’t part of it. I said that hurt wasn’t the most important thing about it and not necessary to understand the definition.

You are taking exaggerations that are used to demean someone as actual behavior.

So when they say these snowflakes went and protested a statue, you think they all sat around and cried. Rather than you know, chanting slogans.

The criticism there isn’t that they cried. It’s that they shouldn’t care about the statue.

Offended isn’t even in the OED or Merriam Webster of snowflake. It’s not important to understanding the insult and it can be applied to a wide range of emotions or none at all.

I mean you started with “the exact same thing” if I remeber right, if hurt is a part of it then annoyed and offended can’t be the exact same thing…

Your statue example against my “hurt feelings” example. If this was a pokemon battle you’d be Team Rocket, that’s how badly it loses, heh. EVERYONE has heard of, and knows, of the connection between “hurt feelings” and the insult snowflake.

Oh, by the way, the dicionary definition…

“Slang. a person who is easily offended, overly sensitive, or emotionally fragile”

That sounds a LOT like hurt to me, not annoyance. Sensitive, fragile, offended… Don’t know about you, but to me, those words sound better with “hurt” than “annoyed.”

I mean the whole dictionary thing is silly, it’s a new word in its current use.

Welcome to the last 5 years of people trying to change the definition of words and use them incorrectly.

I said the scenario of them calling people snowflakes because they didn’t like people disagreed about a pride event while complaining about a pride icon in the game was the exact same thing by their own worldview. Since they see disagreement has some neutral.

Nobody said hurt couldn’t be a part of it. If you take “hurt is unnecessary” to mean “hurt doesn’t exist” then that’s you being dense, not me.

“It’s funny how some gamers will be toxic with their “keep crying sensitive snowflakes!!1””

This was the starting example, just a vague “crying about snowflakes” refrence, nothing more.

You did, by saying it’s the exact same as annoy, which it is not, so don’t call me dense please.

I’m off to walk my dog now, good talk. Have a nice night.

No. It wasn’t. It was specifically about the people crying over the pride event.

Nope. I said that the two words were synonyms (which they are). And that the two scenarios were literally the exact same thing they were complaining about other people do.

I then called those people who cried over a pride flag being added while calling other people snowflakes out as hypocrites.

That’s what my post meant. Could have been worded better? Sure. I shouldn’t have used a pronoun there. But, I just didn’t think anyone would think the term synonym meant exact same thing. I thought I had sufficiently addressed the term just by using the word synonyms. Why would words have been hypocritical? :woman_shrugging:t6:

Regardless, it’s the behavior that’s the exact same thing and not the words. They do the same behavior that they complain about others do when they whine about snowflakes. Most of them are wildly hypocritical.

Insisting that they are different because the liberals are “actually hurt” and those aren’t just memes is dumb.

Imagine report this post LMAO

Lol, stop acting as if offended and annoyed aren’t the same thing.

And if you ment hurt.

Here are people spending 24h writing 100000 word paragraphs how a pride icon shoves something down their throat.

Apparently they got hurt, lol, else you wouldn’t do that.

Edit: wups, didn’t mean to reply to VenusArmani, sry.

I think you mean this reply for Hiddenpants.

Edit
And you’re right about the behavior. Which is what I was describing as the exact same thing. Notice how he cutoff the part of the quote that discussed the behavior I was talking about and then bounced from discussion? Should tell you how productive that conversation would be
