Snowflake
Snowflake, aside from being a term for fragile and supposedly unique crystals of frozen water, is a recent derogatory term that may imply that someone has an inflated sense of uniqueness and an unwarranted sense of entitlement, while at the same time being easily offended and unable to deal with opposing opinions.
Notably applied to persons feeling offended by perceived offenses to political correctness and demanding various forms of politically correct censorship.
Sometimes applied to young people in general, such as in "Generation Snowflake" or "Snowflake Generation", possibly related to that younger people may tend to have various incorrect "snowflake" views not fitting well with the real world, possibly related to a Cultural Marxist education and general societal propaganda.
