“You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.”
When people call you a “snowflake” just remember they're quoting Fight Club.
Fight Club.
A satire written by a gay man about how male fragility causes men to destroy themselves, resent society, and become radicalized. And that Tyler Durden isn't the hero but a personification of the main character's mental illness.
His “snowflake” speech is a dig at how fascists use dehumanizing language to breed loyalty from insecure people.

(If you don't know, Lilly Wachowski created "The Matrix" movie with her sibling, and is #trans)

in reply to Matt Hodgkinson • • •@mattjhodgkinson I felt the film had movie-maker's disease; a great many scenes which existed in the novel primarily to make it easy for the reader to understand the point of the novel - that Tyler Durden was a satirical manifestation of the narrator's own toxic masculinity - had been nearly or entirely eliminated from the movie. All through the movie, I kept asking myself: "How is anyone who didn't read the novel going to understand any of this?"
It ended of my love for satire.
