Snowflaking

The act of using Logical Fallacies (e.g. Straw Man Arguments, False Equivalencies, etc.) to generate a perceived slight which is used by the author to manufacture personal outrage and mount a vitriolic defense against something they themselves invented. Often used on Social Media platforms and in online forums as a form of Trolling.

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?!

Get the Snowflaking mug.

Snowflaking

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.

This charlie's been snowflaked!!
