The conceptualization of "snowflake" as a means to perpetuate a generational dilution of character (I.E. "bravery, resilience, diligence or such") is lazy and counterproductive. I mean, I could be petty and just say that the same ones who call my "generation" a bunch of snowflakes, are just failures as parents for "making us that way," thus they themselves are inferior to their parents and thus deserve ridicule and humiliation as well. But, that argument does nothing, but water down the actual means of this branding of "sensitivity" and such. I mean, it wasn't so long ago that a black man starring in a movie caused certain people to be horrified and disgusted because it went against their "values," thus to me, I see them as a generation of being "sensitive." But, that's besides the point. The point here is that "snowflake" really does nothing to prove a point. It really seems odd especially as a guy who wants to date/ has dated older men, while being 24 - the right demographic in which I can be marked under the "snowflake" identity. "Respect your elders, but allow them to disrespect you." "Appreciate the work of the last generation, while letting them discredit yours." "Always understand that the elders are a product of their time, but never have them understand your views." This conceptualization is so easy to be subconsciously implanted with such mockery, that can lead to a sense of entitlement that can not only lead a one-sided relationship, but also give an excuse for someone not to better themselves. And to tangle with political identity, really gives way to something far more toxic. Being critiqued for optics and behavior is not the equivalent as a toddler throwing a tantrum. And seeing people trying to devalue such as a means with a political tactic is an easy way to fall under the "Oh, this ideology is with THIS political party, and it so happens to also be with THIS demographic in age (with a word like "generation," which is commonly being misused), thus, this age is BAD, because political identity is BAD." It does nothing. I see too many older men (coincidentally, I presume) beg for nuance but then decry "radicals" for just simple manners. The last few comments here doesn't really help that case. My point in bringing all of this to attention (specifically for those who want to do better, and want to actually progress in building better arguments and such) really need to actually address the issues, and not pin blame on a demographic of age. Or, better yet, decry simple pleasantries as condamnation of "freedom" (Which I see WAY TOO MUCH in some circles). I'm not saying that there are no difference between generations, as technology and cultural shifts clearly show. However, just saying a "generation bad," with vague vocabulary, just comes off as cheap. And while I intend this message as respectful as I can be, I do encourage a man over 38/39 (The end of being a millenial) to take a breath and simply understand the argument being placed. This is not towards all men who are older than me. Some very astute observations there. I consider Snowflake an attitude not an age group. The attitude began with older pseudointellectuals. A demographic known for European shitbox cars, goatees and a superior, condescending attitude. I like to find common ground between people, and the sluts on BZ have so much in common with Right Wing Conservatives they should consider switching sides. We think for ourselves, laugh at the instructions for life hammered by the TV through childish instructional sitcoms. We ignore the carefully chosen items given to the bobbleheads who read us “news” geared only to inform us why we should be afraid of everything and which holiday is coming up that we need to buy shit for. Meanwhile, just like the rednecks with their rifles and 4X4’s we enjoy life and Liberty to the fullest. It’s the dogmatic Liberals who immediately label idiots and morons anyone who doesn’t march in lock step with their goofy ideas on melting icecaps and socially engineering people to be identical drones. They are completely deaf except to anything that might offend anyone, then they screech in unison like the Pod People they are. Fanatics identical to Focus On The Family refusing to even discuss or consider that David and Jonathan were lovers. To me, ALL CONTROL FREAKS ARE NAZIS. Edited January 19, 2020 by Pozlover1 Quote

Politics aside, I understand where this is coming from. Your concern is that being controlled/limited by pretentious personnel while trying to appease the masses of media concepts is rather...... A pain in the ass to say the least. Caricature-made, but understandable. I can concur with that. Applying that thought to the identities of "snowflakes" can be very important in your eyes, due to you not wanting trivial matters being more important than the significance of one's freedom and ACTUAL important issues. I agree with this notion. I too, as a "hardcore liberal," do agree that there is pseudo-liberal tactics that may please a general crowd without actually addressing the main issue. I seen it very well as a kid, with governors saying "I like gays," and 20,000 think pieces on Huffington Post saying that the governor who said such should be praised for acknowledging something so basic, when homophobia is most definitely not that govern's concern. I never understood that, and simply labeled those who follow that whimsy as "Mouth-Breathers." However, I will say this in my regard - I don't think on restriction, I just believe in responsibility, when it comes to freedom. You can drink and MAYBE get in a vehicle, but, don't be drunk. A sip is different than 40 kegs of beer. Same thing with freedom/basic human decency. Then again, I'm not opposed to a governmental law that enforces every man over the age of 40 to wear jockstraps and be rimmed by guys in their 20's 24/7. I guess I'm a nazi in that regard. Afterall, as a "socialist" I believe every Daddy should share his musky hole to all us young men to taste. It could help starvation. At least for me lol 3 2 Quote
BlindRawFucker1 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Posted February 1, 2020 I think that there is one thing everyone who is questioning the rules and guidelines on this site should remember. It is not your large investment in time or money, or possible imprisonment that is at risk if some of these rules and guidelines aren't followed. It is RawTop who will be swinging out there in the wind by himself who is at risk. If there is someone out there who believes he/she can run a better site, with no restrictions, go do it. Put your money, time and maybe freedom where your mouth is. There is a belief in society, that any restriction on freedom is damaging to all freedoms. "False!" If everyone had the total freedom that some seem to desire, incidents like the Pulse Nightclub massacre could be daily or even hourly occurances. Do you want that? Of course not! Society has to have guidelines, restrictions and laws. The problem is, that many times, those guidelines, restrictions and laws aren't enforced equally. "That's" the problem. Argue and advocate against that. 2 1 Quote

Are you a lawyer? Do you own or administer a site with 10s of thousands of users? I'm not sure what your qualifications are to make that statement. And saying that my statement is libelous is completely out-of-bounds. W icker, when mentioned on this site, was almost always associated with underage sex. I know, I moderated 100+ messages where it was used. Getting rid of it, got rid of a huge legal nightmare for me. Anyone who tries to get around the banning of the word will get suspended and if it's me doing the moderation at the moment, the points will not expire since there was clear intent to break the rules. (On stuff like this I'm much more harsh in my moderation than DrScorpio.) 1 Quote

I prefer it over sms, skype, kik, and similar apps because it’s encrypted end to end and has pretty good security features. Quote

It's not all like that. I certainly got a disproportionate number of those want to talk inappropriate age, but I just say "not interested". I've had several other chat friends there though, I love the platform. Quote
