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.
