Ya know....I really hate that people use the term "snowflake" to describe soft sensitive people. My logic is simple. When I grew up, I was taught that snowflakes were unique and beautiful. Individually a work of art on their own or can work together to form something greater.
I don't want that beautiful word to describe these foul creatures.
Instead I suggest they are called "little bitches". Use that term instead of snowflakes from now on.
Hey now, us bitches work hard! This pathetic human being that can’t look at a rainbow flag without feeling shame, regret, and evil, he needs therapy.
Therapy and a long time spent in exile away from society.
Besides, where would you be without bitches and their bitchcraft? Absolutely maidenless, that’s where.
These fuckin maidenless scoundrels!
Agree.
Rotten Shitbag could also work.
Hey, rotten shitbags probably melt eventually too
Jet fuel melts rotten shitbags!
Shitbags sound useful for certain scenarios.
Why not just rotten turd?
"We Shitbags are a proud people!"
Yes, gendered insults are much better.
I haven't associated bitch with gender, like, ever. Language evolves over time
So you don't think that the reason "bitch" is used to insult a man as being weak has anything to do with the fact that it's a feminine slur?
Nope.
I'm not totally disagreeing, but I also can't square it with the term "asshole". What does the term for someone being mean have to do with the end of your digestive tract? Why do "cunt" and "pussy" have almost opposite meanings, and "cunt" being very similar to how we use "dick" or "asshole" to refer to a person?
All of those holes and appendages have necessary function and can be fun to play with.
Different terms for excrement is much better in my opinion.
What does it mean to you?
That guy from the story
In what way is "little bitches" gendered?
Wait, are you thinking I'm using the definition of "female dog"?
Okay, what definition are you using?
Someone who's weak, submissive, pathetic, and blames all others for their short comings and insecurities.
"Weak, submissive, pathetic" like the traditional misogynistic view of women? The one that gets applied to men to suggest they are being feminine as an insult?
In no way did I ever say women are weak, submissive, or pathetic. That kinda seems like you drawing your own lines.
If you were to call a woman a bitch would it mean the same? Would you be calling her weak and submissive?
Depends on context. You could be calling her weak and submissive. Or you could be calling her an aggressive drama starter.
Really just depends on how you use it.
Do you use the term bitch to refer to men who are aggressive drama starters?
I'm pretty sure people started calling conservatives snowflakes when conservatives used it to bitch about participation trophies and that kinda stuff. So it's use it's use is a critique of conservatives using it for absurd things when they themselves are so sensitive to a lot of things.
Oh, yeah, I get the orgin. I still don't like it.
Pendejos in Spanish
It's somewhat apt though, given that they got the term from Fight Club - Just more proof that they wouldn't understand satire even if it cockslapped them in the face.
Where’s the satire in Fight Club?
Tylee Durden is am allegory for toxic masculinity. He talks a big game about individuality and self-determination, but Project Mayhem is even more strictly conformist and anti-individualistic than the corporate culture it's rebelling against.
People like Andrew Tate watch the movie and think Tyler Durden is an example to be followed but they don't even take on his critique of capitalism.
Like. In his speech at the start, about how your possessions own you, he's not wrong about society. But instead of offering a real solution, all he does is gather men with social issues into a rage-fuelled terrorist cult which he can't even control. Much like the One Ring uses good intentions to corrupt its wearer to evil, so Tyler Durden uses genuine feelings of dissatisfaction and disaffection men feel in the late 20th century to pointlessly destructive aims, ultimately reproducing the very power structures they claim to fight against.
Shitflakes, Bo Banders
Fixed it, just for you
That's got a ring to it! It's fun to say, and I hope one day I get to use that to insult someone withthat phrase.
We've done good work here today!
In the early years of the alt-right and 4chan/b, the derisive use of snowflake was a counter to the notion that everyone is special, noting that while snowflakes are unique and beautiful, they're also superfluously abundant.
It smacks of social Darwinism, the notion that there's too many people and fair treatment of them all is unaffordable, which is only the case when a few hold an extremely disproportionate amount of wealth and power.
(As an aside, the extreme wealth/power disparity that we see today is a symptom of the decay of a society that precedes decline and collapse, at least as we've seen in history. Before the US, an embarrassment of riches was exactly that. In the states, since the rise of the gold rush and the railroad barons, extreme wealth in the US has become an object of admiration and aspiration. The American dream is to join the billionaire class, no matter how rarely it actually happens.)
I like “suppurating assholes” for this reason.
Calling them "snowflakes" is just to point out their hypocrisy.
