Good to see the failing Guardian using its top trained journalists to report fact and not resort to clickbait gutter journalism to please generation lose....

Look at this man, despite your viewpoint, left or right, you can't deny the man is an actual idiot, not good.

Luckily, no "snowflakes" on the Left.

Zero surprise this article comes from the Guardian, natural habitat of the Snowflake.

It hasn't gotten nasty, what has happened is the people using it to cause offence are offended it has been adopted by those it was intended to offend...It was fun before then, but now it's just being ridiculed as the nonsense term it is it's spiteful and ridiculous.

Or is it simply that it was funny when the term was levied right to left but now it goes left to right it's spiteful and ridiculous? which is a mahoosive double standard.

The left have become pathetically precious, they scream racism and sexism regardless of the debate. yet they blew up a country and murdered over a million innocent people, yet they see nothing racist in that, but they do get oh so offended by petty drivel like the word snowflake. the left bankrupted the country, destroyed sme's, killed a million innocents, had the filthiest hospitals in europe and created a bigger gap between rich and poor than for 200 years. They dont respect anything, the dont respect the economy, freedom of speech, job creation, business opportunity, sovereignty, civil liberties, freedom of speech, tax payers money , they disrespect safety of the public, they are anti common sense, they did nothing for the working class communities, nothing for the vast industrial areas and nothing for those millions in those broken jobless communities...they are a disgrace to the human race

'The Guardian' isn't an entity with the capacity to 'say' or indeed write anything. It isn't a person. Nor, for the record, is it a 'rag' - it's a broadsheet.

The piece in the OP is not an editorial, nor is it an article, it's a column written by Arwa Mahdawi - one I happen to believe 'nailed it'. There is no 'they'.

Quite what you are trying to get at is beyond me.

It's the puppet whose left-wing master does all the talking. Mr Mahdawi doesn't exactly sound unbiased on the subject, in keeping with the general left-wing stance of the paper.

So forgive this alleged 'snowflake' for taking such biased drivel with the pinch of salt it deserves. :hehe

Well for starters, Arwa is a Mrs not a Mr - so one can only assume you didn't bother to check the source and dare I say even read the column.

Secondly, what is there to be unbiased or biased about? What exactly is this 'subject' you speak of? This is an opinion piece about the alleged hypocrisy of the terms 'snowflake', 'safe space' and 'PC' levelled at those on the left by some sections of the right. It isn't a news story, there is no facts or 'fake news'. It's a column.

Finally, much like many of the other Comment is Free columnists she does not work solely for The Guardian and so this 'master' nonsense you've invented seems utterly bizarre and completely misplaced. The next time Katie Hopkins or Piers Morgan write a column for The Sun or the Mail respectively, can I expect to see you deriding them for bowing to their right wing masters and writing what their overlords want them to? I'm guessing not.

Populist correctness gone mad, it seems.
