An insult to describe somebody as extremely fragile, like a snowflake.
This term ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy, because to accept the word as an insult is to allow oneself to be offended.
'Snowflake' is generally used towards people who are sharing their thoughts or arguing about something they believe to be wrong in society. The listener belittles their concerns and shuts down the monologue by calling them a 'snowflake'.
The original targets of the term 'snowflake' were millennials, but 2016 saw a rise in use of the word due to Donald Trump's presence in the US election, where many extremest views emerged and insulting your opponents was more popularized.
In short, 'snowflake' is an insult used to shut down one's opponent by labeling them as fragile.

Person 1: 'Blurred Lines' is still considered an acceptable song to play on the radio despite the lyrics and music video insinuating themes of rape and objectifying women.
Person 2: Wow you're such a snowflake. It's just a harmless music video. If you want to stop seeing rape everywhere you look I guess you'll just have to blind yourself.

Get the Snowflakemug. 
Get the Snowflakemug. Always a liberal. Someone who is too ignorant to understand how the world really works. People who don't understand there are really only 2 genders, that BLM are actually a hate group, that George Floyd got what he deserved. All in all useless people who the world would be better off without.

Get the Snowflakemug. A person who for whatever reason is more hurt or offended by something said or done than the victim/target of said action. They also have some sort of pull to enact cancel culture and feel obligated to do the cancelling because they have a higher position in society that. The person/group that should be offended.
Person 1: "Man that skunk is trying to rape that cat. We must end his career."
Person 2: "Bud don't be such a Snowflake it's a cartoon, anyone knows it's not real. Heck how is it even affecting you?"
Person 1: Well really it doesn't but I have to do something because that cartoon skunk may rape me."
Person 2: "Bud don't be such a Snowflake it's a cartoon, anyone knows it's not real. Heck how is it even affecting you?"
