Actual Example:
Initial Comment: Imagine if all of this effort and passion resisting Equity policies was actually put toward creating a system that supported our BIPOC community.
SF Response: I don’t have to answer questions. Especially not to people who respond with racism. I’m just a racist apparently. Love tonight’s equity meeting. It showed just how racist this whole thing truly is.
Usage in a sentence: "Wow, did you catch her response? We were talking about racial equity and she just started snowflaking that everyone was calling her a racist because she was against it. Where the fuck did that come from?!

A callous thing to do, but has to be done on occasion. This is the mixing of low quality cocaine with dandruff and psoriasis flakes, which you then chop out to the no-mark who has been hassling you for ".. a bump" all night.

A very sensitive person. Someone who is easily hurt or offended by the statements or actions of others.
This has nothing to do with politics. Snowflakes can be liberal or conservative. Whether it is a compliment or an insult is a matter of opinion and depends on the context.

A hypersensitive, irrational person who can't stand to have their world views challenged, or be offended in any perceived or even slightest of ways; they will have any number of emotional reactions: impuning character and/or motives, blocking on social media, shouting, interrupting, threatening, assaulting, etc. They often live in an echo chamber of their own beliefs and surround themselves exclusively with people and opinions that agree with their own. This term is most often use to describe people left-leaning people, but can be applied both left and right wing people.
I told that snowflake that I respectfully disagree and had some questions, and she started screaming that I was a nazi.
John Doe saw that I agreed with Jane Doe on an issue, and he blocked me; I never knew he was so petty snowflake.
