"Who has noticed that todays age range of 18 to 25 say are all over the top with how they react to stuff "
Yep, but it is the older generation who let them get that way.
People forget being offended isn't illegal |

Nope
I've been in the politics and virus forums most over 40
Also the hate mail ranty readership is over xx
I think the age group you refer to is vasty more concerned with caring the environment fairness the future and less petty concepts
But all age groups can melt down certain newspaper letter pages were infamous for utter total meltdown over the pettiest of things
Some gosh, would be in an utter puddle if a non native human moved into their village town or street  |

You know, I was thinking about this (slightly) earlier.
The older generations seem to think the younger ones are weak. Why?
I know there's this masculinity thing about war and how the younger generations are soft. But war destroyed so many troops lives (ptsd), so isn't that great and proves shit.
If your talking about disagreeing with their opinions, and them getting upset? The world has changed so significantly since you were brought up solely through your parents without outside media (largely the internet) that there it's fully understandable that they have different opinions to you.
I don't think they're snowflakes, I think they think you're an idiot and it hurts. |

Mostly true - we're all just products of our environment. |

Is thread a reaction to a message you sent out to a 18 to 25 year old and got rejected?
Maybe you're the snowflake |

This kinda sounds to me like the reaction of someone who sent out a copy pasted message with a dick photo attached and didn't like the rejection.

I find that when people send me unsolicited photos of their cock and I point out that it's akin to flashing that they get really fucked off instead of realising that they're in the wrong.
I'm 43, I'm more than happy with people having different opinions to me as long as their behaviour is appropriate. |

I hate the use of the term snowflake. Without exception it is used by someone annoyed that they are being called out on something they've said as a defensive and diversionary comment. Awful term |

I'd say it's more the 40 something's tbf. Younger ppl are far more chilled and tolerant. 40's have often been screwed by life and have a point to prove, they fear change and need control imho....   |

There is no age group some people enjoy being so called offended I do know this our freedom of speech is being eradicated not by government but by the people it’s getting to the point where I bet everyone is very careful as to what they post in here or how they word it for fear of recriminations
And from a personal point all I ever do on here is tell jokes and fair enough you don’t have to like them but they are just jokes pure and simple but why be offended?? I could tell a lot worse
Debate is good differing opinions are good but no need to be nasty and no need to take offence just for the sake of it |

There and to the left a bit |
" ‘Snowflake’ has come to mean anyone who has a differing opinion, it’s lazy and bullshit term."
This about sums it up
Snowflake, white knight and other similar terms have become insults those unable to form a coherent argument in debate throw out to defend their own opinion, and in doing so, usually say more about themselves than the person they are accusing |

I don’t agree with a lot of this. But I do agree that you never need to descend into nastiness for no reason. Equally, I genuinely think that some people just like to ‘debate’ everything for the sake of it. Sometimes I think it’s okay to acknowledge ‘I could be wrong, I’m not an expert and this is not my experience’ rather than declaring some offensive views as ‘just my opinion’ or just a ‘difference in opinions’. And although it’s true we have *generally* accepted a set of morals, I think that it’s natural that those will change as people become more aware of their experiences in the world and we, as a society should be flexible and open rather than ‘it wasn’t like that in my day’ or ‘why can’t I say X anymore just because someone else is offended?’ - I think we should just generally try and be nicer and try to be more mindful of how things that don’t affect us, can be perceived by others. |

Every generation thinks they are wiser then the generation after them.
We were all young once and all had similar ways. They just change as we get older and we just forget how we were.
I was wild and a little reckless now ive settled. My children may be the same and as they mature to the age I am now they will look at the youngests after them and think exactly the same as im thinking right now if that makes sence x |

If you don't want to listen to their reaction and you're not their doctor then maybe mind your own business? If you're going to make comments on other people's appearance or health, you're opening yourself up to a negative reaction. If you can't handle that, don't make the comment. |

But equally, there are plenty of people that are overweight or obese that are healthier in their lifestyles and diets than people that are slim or skinny. There’s a lot about language and about how weight is framed as a solely health issue but can just be another form of social control. Definitely worth a conversation about it that shouldn’t be stifled by either side. |

"There is no age group some people enjoy being so called offended I do know this our freedom of speech is being eradicated not by government but by the people it’s getting to the point where I bet everyone is very careful as to what they post in here or how they word it for fear of recriminations
And from a personal point all I ever do on here is tell jokes and fair enough you don’t have to like them but they are just jokes pure and simple but why be offended?? I could tell a lot worse
Debate is good differing opinions are good but no need to be nasty and no need to take offence just for the sake of it
People not liking what you say isn't erroding your freedom of speech . They're just exercising theirs by expressing their dislike. Just suck it up.
Try saying someone is obese (a medical term) and they should lose weight for their own good, topical issue...... And what happens?
If you don't want to listen to their reaction and you're not their doctor then maybe mind your own business? If you're going to make comments on other people's appearance or health, you're opening yourself up to a negative reaction. If you can't handle that, don't make the comment.
Yes everyone just keep their mouth shut, in case they offend, even if they are trying to help lol
Your opinion is not welcome, that's called oppression lol
That's absolutely not what I said. Say what the hell you want but be prepared for a comeback. If you're too sensitive for that then don't say it. Can't have it both ways. "
Please clarify comeback? Slanging match? Gun fire? Or reasoned response? Because saying if you are not a doctor you can not tell if a woman of 5ft weighing 150kgs is slim or not suggests you are not reasonable lol |

"Every generation thinks they are wiser then the generation after them.
We were all young once and all had similar ways. They just change as we get older and we just forget how we were.
I was wild and a little reckless now ive settled. My children may be the same and as they mature to the age I am now they will look at the youngests after them and think exactly the same as im thinking right now if that makes sence x"
They truly are words of wisdom. Beautifully put xx |

"I'd say it's more the 40 something's tbf. Younger ppl are far more horizontal and work shy. 40's have often been screwed by life and have a point to prove, they fear change and need control imho....
FTFY
These young ones know nothing. Legends were born in the 70's.
Agreed!"

The issue is that so much emphasis had been put on people having RIGHTS. Unfortunately, whilst RIGHTS should be equally balanced with RESPONSIBILITY the latter tends to lose out. There is such little introspection that these easily triggered individuals focus more on the material and nothing deeper.
The 'trigger effect' from 'snowflakes' comes from issues they've not dealt with properly or at all.
It's much deeper and more nuanced subject than we would like to think. |

I don't think anyone is more sensitive than the other.
Every generation thinks they know better.
I think more people can argue about their differences because of the internet.

Not since 1970 lol when you had Billy bunter, obviously you wouldn't walk up to someone in the street and say you look obese, you're get covid lol so don't go down that road, my point is over time people have had to be more and more careful what they say, even if it's to try and help, if you saw a child playing in the road and the parents ignoring them would you step in or watch him get run over? What would be the right thing?
But People have stopped getting involved through fear of offending in some way .... Don't you tell me how to parent my kids....So people keeping to themselves and biting their tongue isn't necessarily a good thing.... But the easily offended have nurtured and cultivated that situation. In my opinion. |

Interesting isnt it... there's "votes" for the majority od age ranges here being "snowflakes"...its not an age thing. Its a values thing....
What someone finds offensive because it goes against their values, others might find appropriate. People get offended, or throw out accusations because they dont take the time to understand each otjers perspective or be tolerant of each other.
I get that you cant all get on with all topics at all times... and the extremes (whatever they are) are likely to always cause conflict no matter what. But fucking hell.... can't we all just try and get along for once  |

Terrible take. The younger age group you refer to are one who have aged in a more varied society, whereby empathy is a feeling they have been emplored to feel. It is also a generation who have to pick up the pieces from their elders in the form of loe wages, high house prices & various other things.

This argument is as old as time, Plato quoted Socrates by saying
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room‘
It’s lazy to pin something on a generation of people and this use of the term snowflake no different. Instead of moaning, do something different.
Another quote from John Cleese on the term snowflake:
Yes I've heard this word. I think sociopaths use it in an attempt to discredit the notion of empathy. |

I think there has to be a balance.. I mean saying people get offended easily well it depends what you say and how you say it.. you can’t walk around using derogatory terms towards people and then not expect a reaction. |

I mean not every university is no platforming. And also they’ve usually only banned speakers whose speach incites hate against groups that the university should protect. There’s need for debate but as I said there’s a difference between debating and people wanting to say horrible, ill informed things about someone else’s experience without being willing to ever accept that they could be wrong.
Also, the morals of a society should surely be ever changing rather than fixed? And I just see institutions and people that attend them adapting to a greater understanding of our experiences? |

There lies the problem, who is deciding what is horrible? Hateful? Which group decided they have all the answers and know best, that's why it SHOULD be debated.
As for morals I think the underlying values don't change really
Thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal.... Are both hard to argue against. Treat others like you would like to be treated, dangerous statement on this site lol |

We do as a society no? Are morals not invariably linked to all of this?
I see that some people feel the need to debate experiences of others but I personally don’t think everything needs a debate. Like someone that says things that incite hate against a race, gender, sexuality etc, do we really need to ‘debate’ them? I think I’m probably thinking in extremes, so like misogynists, racists, homophobes, anti semites etc. But they’re often the ones not allowed to speak and I understand why a university might take that decision, given that it might be traumatic or just pretty rubbish for some or many students at the university?
I guess in that sense, even being upset by those things, isms, is why young people are labelled as snowflakes in the first place. Lol I don’t know I’m waffling a bit here but it’s good to discuss. |

But yes we do have to discuss issues, any issue, race religion etc if you don't people will believe lies, look at east vs west or nazi germany, if all the books say Jews have horns and all the teachers say it to, you believe they do! No one was allowed to stand up and say well actually...... Watch jojo rabbit it's funny

I think your all missing the point and the point is that all the nastiness needs to stop
If you are being directly targeted then by all means stand your ground
Freedom of speech is a precious commodity let’s preserve it but preserve it with dignity
Stop being offended unless it’s directed solely at you
Nothing else matters so live and let live |

Freedom of speech but only on your terms? Nobody else is allowed to defend anyone else. Nah, it's a free country sorry. You don't get to distate when others are allowed to use their own freedom of speech. |

I think it’s okay to speak up for others if someone is being offensive or is ignorant on their experience. As long as you’re not speaking over someone or for them but just echoing them and lifting up their voices, I don’t see the problem. Ironically, it’s just people getting upset at other people getting upset. It’s all cyclical. |
