“My feelings aren’t fragile, my heart isn’t bleeding. I am a badass believer in human rights,” the quote continues.
Claim:
Rapper Eminem once said: “I am not a liberal snowflake. My feelings aren’t fragile, my heart isn’t bleeding. I am a badass believer in human rights. My toughness is tenderness. My strength is in the service of others. There is nothing more fierce than formidable, unconditional love. There is not a thing more courageous than compassion. But if my belief in equity, empathy, goodness, and love indeed makes me or people like me snowflakes, then you should know – WINTER IS COMING.”
Rating:
In November 2024, social media users shared a message with the term “liberal snowflake” on platforms such as X (archived), Threads (archived) and Facebook, attributing the quote to rapper Eminem.

The quote read in full:
I am not a liberal snowflake. My feelings aren’t fragile, my heart isn’t bleeding. I am a badass believer in human rights. My toughness is tenderness. My strength is in the service of others. There is nothing more fierce than formidable, unconditional love. There is not a thing more courageous than compassion. But if my belief in equity, empathy, goodness, and love indeed makes me or people like me snowflakes, then you should know — WINTER IS COMING.
However, there was no demonstrable evidence — such as a video, published interview transcript or post from a social media account officially associated with the rapper — to support the claim that Eminem ever said those words.
In fact, although the quote has circulated (archived) online for years (archived), we found no instances of it being attributed to Eminem before November 2024, just weeks after the rapper spoke at a Detroit rally for U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.
As some (archived) social media users pointed out (archived), the actual author of the quote was Houston Kraft, a motivational speaker and author who first shared the quote in posts on X (archived) and Facebook (archived) in 2017.
Over email, Kraft confirmed that he was the quote’s original author.
In other words, the claim that Eminem is the source of the message is incorrect.
Some internet users incorrectly attributed the quote to author John Pavlovitz, who posted a similar meditation on the political use of the term “snowflake” on his website in January 2017. That misattribution appeared to stem from Pavolvitz’s use of the words “winter is coming” — a catchphrase both he and Kraft borrowed from “Game of Thrones,” HBO’s television adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series of fantasy novels.
We’ve previously looked into multiple claims about Eminem, including the assertion that he supposedly broke NFL orders by kneeling in protest of police brutality during the Super Bowl LVI halftime show in February 2022.
