I'm 53; I so desperately long for the return of the days of my childhood; I can recall more than once my mom teaching me that "
Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me".
I'd say that the world it filling up with snowflakes, but that would hurt the feelings of precipitation ...

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.
Not that this is a 100% accurate definition, just the first one I came across. Usually affixed to the millennial generation (25-34 age group?), although it seems to be used very often just because it can be.
