Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHas anybody tried to own the "special snowflake" slur, or turn it around?
I'm thinking things like "Snowflakes will BURY you!" or "Special Forces Snowflakes" or "These 'Flakes Won't Melt!"
Could we make that a thing?

(111,255 posts)Snowflakes that organize will cause avalanches and if enough of us stick together and refuse to budge, we turn into glaciers that crush everything in our way.
The tender little petunias on the far right had better think of something else.

(4,572 posts)Just remember when they call you a "snowflake"...
Snowflakes are beautiful...
They're unique...
And they kill fascists when they group together in large numbers.
Ask Hitler about them when he invaded Russia.

(63,208 posts)I don't know who coined it, and I can't post the link to twitter, but you can find it:
"Historical Reminder: Snowflakes Beat the Nazis," coupled with a pic of German troops and vehicles dead in the snow.
It would be an altogether perfect response if it didn't run up against Trump's status as a Russian operative. Still...

(1,756 posts)...over the weekend on FB (calling this person "snowflake" regarding the multi-city protest over the last weekend) and I stirred up quite the sh!tstorm. Upon reflection, I wouldn't have been (so) provocative.
I personally don't consider "snowflake" a slur but I do my best to smash the "argument"/meme and not be terribly nice about it. I enjoy being blunt.

One of the underlying elements of "punk" is taking a seeming liability and turning it into an asset. With all the throwing around of the "snowflake" label towards liberals lately, I decided to do a "punk Remake" thing and turn lemons into lemonade.
So here's "The Snowflake", a super-hero for today's vibe. His motto is "My strength doesn't come from power, it comes from numbers." One snowflake itself doesn't do much; enough of them together can close down a highway or bury a city. Never underestimate the power of lots of people working together for a common cause. : )
