urban dictionary : Snowflake

(1)Snowflake

A term used to describe extremist liberals that get offended by every statement and/or belief that doesn’t exactly match their own. These individuals think they are just as “unique” as snowflakes, when really their feelings are just as fragile.

“Congratulations! Its a boy!” “Did you just assume that babies gender?” “Someone get the snowflake out of here, please”.

(2) Snowflake

Referring to someone, usually the Alt-Right, Yiannopoulos, And

Nazi

Sympathizers (A.K.A. ARYANS), whose immense white fragility causes a meltdown when confronted with the most minute deviation from orthodox White Supremacy. They often cry bloody murder when expected to give the most modest expression of basic human decency.

(3) snowflakeunknown

Thin-skinned, orange-hued man who gets offended easily and tweets about it at 3 AM. Term may also be used for his “alt-right” followers who believe in alternative facts and become offended when presented with documented reality.

“Those comedians are snowflakes if they don’t like the tough policies I’m setting. They need to stop making fun of me. I’m going to tweet at 3 AM and tell them to apologize!”

In Urban dictionary, snowflake has been defined to label ‘sensitive liberals’ and 'the Alt right’. This is interesting, we are joined in fragility and hatred towards the other side. For such a fragile and innocuous thing, it has become loaded with hatred and as a political insult. Our demonization of each other is the thing that binds us. Trump calls others snowflakes while revealing himself as one

I've been enjoying this editing of an austrailian populist politican.

I think after the election, it feels like Millennial have a sort of one up on the media. (Although the guardian is left) So, taking this in to account, I think my work can become a bit more specific. I am interested in how millennials were undervalued when taking the election into account but contributed majorly to labour being so successful.  Here are some artists I who have responded to the election. So my questions at the moment, how is the DUP/ Tory coalition going to effect me? How can I respond to this? The DUP specifically.. As an Irish citizen living in the UK...I'm interested how external political/social rhetoric influences as individuals. Our small talk/ our inner dialogue..Adopting Irony is a device which can illustrate 2 extremes to make the viewer think somewhere in the middle...So at this point in my work, I still want to make politics a very minor sidenote in my trivial victimhood. Playing with how much influence we actually have/ how much they don't have

Post-internet art is a fairly widely hated genre of art in the art community. This author feels the genre has died, I don’t think it has and I don’t think it should..We are stuck in this realm of instant gratification/ entitlement/narcissistic behaviour so artists should continue to analyse it.What do you want author of this magazine?Should we all make the same ‘Fuck Trump’ work like a horrendous factory or those fucking boring digitalisation of classic sculpture that are everywhere...It’s shitty from an art magazine to try to dictate what work artists should and shouldn’t be making...they say Trecartyn has made the same videos since the mid 00s..they are still highly relative and he is the most interesting/important artist to come out of the last decade...still..I think it’s really difficult to create work about the now that has lasting power and he as done it....also...SO FUCKING WHAT....Sean Scully has been turning out the same stuff since the 60s...I think the author should try to seperate his hatred of the new from art created about it..We need art to comment on this stuff to facilitate understanding..it’s all a bit like when everyone hated Pop Art when it first came out..This is similar terrain really..cripez..Just realised the slight irony of post-internet art and how you can also ‘post’ stuff onto the internet..So now every knob with a tumblr/deviant art account can be post-internet just from posting on the internet..you guys <3 #meta

'People do seem inordinately happy with the sound of their own voices of late – often to the detriment of further enlightenment or progress.'

'In generations past people might have felt it a vanity too far to unburden themselves with no consideration for the receiver'

yes, crappy guardian advice column, WE LOVE THE SOUND OF OUR VOICES VERY MUCH and love indulging ourselves

I like these comics..mediations/satirical look at art.. there is something slightly annoying about their execution...I think they're neither crude nor polished and just sit awkwardly in the middle. I found out about them through Janette Parris' work, an artist/illustrator using the everyday as subject matter.

Some entitled dickhead begging for money for a trip to asia. One of my key reasons for wanting to examine priviledge, victimhood and entitlement is from my experiences of living in Japan and travelling through asia. I encountered so many western people who were obnoxious and refused to speak anything but english..often forcing it upon people who didn’t understand. They just tend to take over and not respect local cultures and just made themselves the center of everything. Mistaking local politeness and friendliness as a doormat.Many felt they were special because they were treated that way. As someone who lived as a westerner, i have to accept blame too. I experienced privilege..nicer seats/ good job and pay etcetc just because of my skin colour and native tongue.We go to poor countries, absorb the westernised hotspots created by other westerners and fuck off again, contributing nothing to locals...My experience of living in asia has allowed me to hone in on my sense of entitlement and privilege..paying a bunch of money to study fucking art is ridiculous privilege too. It transpires everywhere.. We only listen so we can talk about ourselves, obsessed with what the world owes us and blaming it on what’s wrong…

Love this work by paul sietsima, he painstakingly replicated articles from the new york times and then loosely paints over his labourious drawing... one featuring a review of his work.
