It is pretty hilarious, as they almost always get the words and context wrong. Generally they are very uptight younger people, who would not -dare- speak to someone the way they do in game for fear of being sparked out, but the internet makes them feel brave.
‘Soyboy’ is a ridiculous phrase anyway. Lets pick that one apart first. Because I do -love- shattering the fragile little petals that are Internet tough guys…
Humans aren’t meant to drink actual milk after we are weaned. No mammal is. It is actually incredibly bad for most mammals to drink milk after being weaned onto solid food. Yes. Even Cats. Especially Cats in fact, it can cause them liver damage. Lactose Intolerance is actually the ‘correct’ default setting of the adult human being. No i don’t have a horse in this race, I am not lactose intolerant, and I love drinking milk, but equally, I know that it is an aberration.
Check out a map of where most people are Lactose Intolerant, and you will find out -why-. It was exposure to the invasion of the Mongols, who extensively used milk for everything including making booze out of. As a result most people in Europe and the USA (as a result of colonisation) are genetically cool with drinking milk. Those nations who never came into contact with the Mongols, like Latin America or Japan for example, have massively higher amounts of people who have Lactose Intolerance, because they were never exposed to that mutant gene.
So this whole “Soyboy” thing, doesn’t actually make -sense-. It is like taking the mickey out of someone for not being a genetic mutant…
‘Snowflake’ is even better. It is better because it is almost always used by these people who actually are very delicate and precious little souls, who have no understanding of what the term means.
The whole -Point- of the use of the word ‘Snowflake’ that people have picked up on from pop culture is that it is the deranged ramblings of a man so insane he has subsumed his own reality to have an imaginary friend who is ‘cooler’ than he is. That is what Fight Club is about. That is why Ed Norton’s Character is never actually named in the Film, but ‘Tyler Durden’ is. Thats why he thinks Tyler Durden gets it on with Helena Bonham Carter’s character, but it is actually himself.
He is -Insane- to a degree that they are not functional.
So for a start, taking anything from that film as an inspirational or insulting phrase, is the most stupid thing ever.
The whole point of the ‘Snowflake’ rant, is ‘Tyler Durden’ trying to subjugate all his listeners into believing that they are worthless little drones, with no purpose, no reason to exist, of no value to anyone, and that life is futile.
OK, So that is the message he is sending. He prefaces that by saying “You are not a Special Snowflake”
Don’t some of these clowns -get it!- The snowflakes are the -cool- people who are unique, have purpose and value, and aren’t drones!
That is the whole damned point of that rant!
Oh, and as a third freebie.
Don’t grow a thicker skin. Lack of sensitivity to injury can lead to increased risks of gangrene and potentially leprosy.
Keep your skin as it is, like it is meant to be…
However, I will also do this to tanks that pull the entire dungeon then cry. BYE FWEND.
