The word “Snowflake” is used as a derogatory term for people who are considered soft. I don’t mind being called a snowflake. Snowflakes are beautiful, delicate, and unique. To me, it means you care about other people and their feelings; it means you have a heart.

Being called soft is not an insult to me unless you’re poking my belly like I’m the Pillsbury dough boy while saying it. (You’d be correct, but I’d still be insulted.)

When I hear the term “Snowflake” I can’t help but think of the Beatrix Kiddo / O-Ren Ishii battle in Kill Bill. It’s such a beautiful scene. Pristine snow covers the ground and tiny snowflakes dance around the night sky as Beatrix cuts off the top of O-Ren’s head with her Hattori Hanzo Samurai sword. O-Ren’s scalp and hair go flying and land on the ground, then she dies.

Just because O-Ren lost that battle, it doesn’t mean she wasn’t a badass. In a previous scene, Boss Tanaka disrespects her, so without warning, she cuts off his head. After calmly explaining her actions to a table full of male crime bosses, she holds up Tanaka’s severed head with one hand and screams:

“NOW IF ANY OF YOU SON’S OF BITCHES GOT ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY, NOW’S THE FUCKIN TIME!”

Kill Bill is one of my favorite movies. I also own a Samurai sword. I dare you to call me a snowflake. Hahahaaa … I kid! I kid! 😉

Snowflake is fine. The insult I can’t take is “Libtard.” Not because I personally get offended by it, but because, oh my Lord, it sounds SO FUCKING DUMB.

Even if I’ve never met the person, when I see someone write “libtard” on social media, I already know they don’t know the difference between “you” and “you’re”; usually because they write “Your a libtard!!!”

I’ve also already determined that they sit around the dining room table with their dumb-ass family and somehow work the N-word into the conversation while asking for someone to pass the salt.

I’ve already determined they’re the type of person who goes to a baseball game, drinks too many beers, fights with people in the stands, then drives home drunk.

I’ve already determined that they would kick their child out of the house if he or she were gay. But then again, if the poor kid grew up in a family like that, they’d be too scared to muster up the courage to tell them anyway, so that’s a moot point.

You get the idea.

At least “snowflake” is somewhat creative. “Libtard” is a hybrid of “liberal” and “retard”, which demonstrates that they think it’s ok to use that word.

I’m not surprised; if you support a president who makes fun of disabled people, it’s only natural that you would use the R word too.

It doesn’t even sound cool. Say it out loud.

Libtard.

Libtard.

Libtard.

It’s so bad.

If you don’t want to stop saying it because it clearly defines what you think of “soft” people, that’s fine. Freedom of Speech … blah blah blah… But I’m also going to exercise my 1st amendment right and let you know that you sound even dumber than you look.

Do me a favor though – next time, don’t write it on social media, please say it to my face. I may be soft, but I have my very own Samurai sword 🗡🩸 ❄️ I kid! I kid! 😉
