In 2018, the song "Baby It's Cold Outside" was pulled from radio stations because snowflake activism deemed it to be sexist and promoted rape culture when in fact, it was an innocent song featuring playful banter written by a man in the 1940's for his wife and himself to sing at parties.

Get the snow snake mug.I come from Germany, and the "top rated" (by whom?) definition of "special snowflake" refering to the holocaust is pure bull. Not only is it historically and etymologically wrong, it is also a dangerous example of propaganda.
The term "special snowflake". First of all the Nazis didnt call jews "snowflakes" or "Schneeflocken", whats the German term. There is no known example of referering to people by the term "Schneeflocke" in the German language. Furthermore it does not make any sense to make "special snowflake" an acronym for "SS", because they wouldn't refer to their "Schutzstaffel" and a jew with the same word... this is a common myth spread by antifa groups to declare the term "special snowflake" hate speech and Nazi-propaganda though it is not.
The term "special snowflake" referes to the physical fact that all snowflakes are unique, and that so are people. Making it absurd that a snowflake would be more special than another, the same goes for people.
