Banned for having ‘Snowflake’ as a title?!
We have just had a song banned from Reddit - because it’s called ‘Snowflake’!
The song is about having a rare good day, but like a snowflake, it floats or melts away.
Is everything offending everybody?
For most of history, a snowflake has been ice formed in clouds. Now it isn’t?
Comments
What was the reason for the ban?
The world has become obsessed with words.
A snowflake was offended.
Wow, does Reddit take care of minorities? 😅
@DefRobot: Have you tried "Snowman"?
Simply having Snowflake as a title!
It doesn’t have anything to do with easily offended people! The irony...
Call it
A flake of snow.
Or Snowflek
Too late, it’s out there and floating away now...
I think it’s ridiculous that you have to be careful of normal everyday words being used in art.
Maybe they could ban the offended people for offending you for offending them
Setting the stage for the 2020s. 🙄

Ey up Def. Tidy song and video, mate. I take it you’ve already penned the follow-up? Give me a bell if you require extra vocal emphasis on the “Fuck off Reddit, you pricks” bit. Dear oh dear oh dear. Art.
Sorry, no native English here, what’s the problem with the word snowflakes?
Context.
Ok I got it, found it on Wikipedia. Ridiculously paranoid behavior from Reddit. 😳
Animism. No need to dig deeper.
.
It's a term of offense, if used in that context, just like any other slang term/name calling.
Regardless of whether it's a legal issue, people should avoid calling people names online, or offline, as it's not a very nice thing to do.
Thank you @SevenSystems it’s what I found on Wikipedia. 👍

Ello Blue! Been a while crocodile!
Did you take a Sabbatical?
I’ll have to pop in SOTMC at some point to see what you’re on with!
Steve Hughes - Offended
It rather depends on whether the person you're 'making fun' of, is finding it fun too, and what you're making fun of.
We have a 'political correctness gone mad' debate on here every few months - it's a bit like the app pricing one's that keep coming around, and it seems to expose a bit of a dark underbelly to the forum that makes me uncomfortable.
What SJWs and anti-SJWs don't seem to understand is that everything boils down to POLITENESS. If you don't know the person, be polite. Nobody knows where a person is coming from nor their background nor what they went through in their past unless you get to know that person.
Another thing sorely lacking in today's society is a little thing known as "the benefit of the doubt". Again, this applies to both sides. In regards to the OP's song, there's nothing wrong with it. It has a nice 70s Pop vibe to it and has a happy message. However, I can see how the first verse can be taken way out of context.
"I'm on top of the top of my stuff.
I'm a universe and you're a dot.
I got a mood that you can't stop.
This feeling's what I got. I'm a winner and you're not."
(If I got any of the lyrics wrong, forgive me mate.)
If you don't make it to the chorus, one automatically assumes the song is an offensive diddy about poking fun of people with a thin skin rather than what the OP actually intended. Mods don't have time to sit and listen through an entire song, and so they make an ASS of U and ME by assuming what something is about. Did the OP deserve an outright ban though? Hell no! The mods should've simply removed the song if they found it offensive, or better yet, listened to the whole thing. But as I said, mods on Reddit don't have time to listen to a whole song.
I'm just trying to bring context to this whole fiasco from a "middle ground" perspective.
being musicians and dare I say artists the thought of any piece of art being banned is disturbing.
It’s a bait and switch. You get berated for not being polite and next thing you know you are cancelled.
So no, it’s not about being polite or good manners at all.
It is a totalitarian mindset and You MUST NOT THINK UNAPPROVED THOUGHTS.
Almost there mate!
I’m on top,
Of the toppermost top...
Yeah, taken as just that verse (out of context) you might think it’s a rant.
But it’s about feeling good for once in your life and you’re shouting it to the people that usually make you feel bad or a loser.
Looks like it was removed by some kind of Bot. The UK music group accepted it okay.
Totally with you on that one!
Once things become over censored, it is a very dangerous road.
Free speech and making your own mind up is the common sense way.
Hitler got a lot of art and books banned and burnt. Just because he didn’t agree with them.
First of all, it’s a very good song. Really well crafted and performed and recorded. Congratulations.
But “banned from Reddit”? That seems...unlikely? A simple google search of “snowflake” and “reddit” turns up thousands of hits, many of the dismissive variety. Possibly banned from a subreddit?
But it’s interesting how quickly some people believe that a lyrically innocuous song was banned for its misconstrued title on zero evidence.
And it may well have been banned!
But — no offense — it’s a little like the guy telling his buddies he didn’t get the girl because he was too good-looking.
@DefRobot What did they say when you were banned?
I don’t believe any word should be banned ever. Which doesn’t mean that people who intentionally insult or degrade others should be free from consequence.
Obviously, “snowflake” should not be prohibited from speech. But those who use the term do tell a lot about themselves.
John Cleese said it best:
Yes I've heard this word. I think sociopaths use it in an attempt to discredit the notion of empathy.
