Rob Beschizza пишет вот прямо по меня, единственно что парады и этник уж совсем на поледнем месте в моем priority list интересов, как и вся другая левая херомантия (кроме феминизма в более-менее разумном изводе, да и то, эээ...).

Perhaps you are tired of the terminology of online trashtalk, where words (such as snowflake and bro) form billowing epicycles of sincerity, appropriation and reclamation. Me too! Yet there is such a pure beauty to this morning's surprisingly viral portmanteau, Broflake.

From the Urban Dictionary:

Broflake: Straight white male offended by any feminist or ethnic activity which is not directly designed for him.

Kyle: "How come there's no Straight Pride parade"?
Me: OMG you're such a delicate little broflake.

If anything, this definition is too precise, as the word perfectly captures the broader dynamic wherein a person adopts a posture of devil-may-care principled insensitivity to offense, only to collapse in a puddle of outrage and/or legal threats when they are offended.

Не надо. Бывают парадоксы, не являющиеся противоречиями. Мне нравится сам факт, что они бывают.
