Candystorm

Candystorm is a loanword used in the German language and is the antonym of shitstorm. Green German MP Volker Beck gave distinction to the term by using it to describe a wave of party support for Claudia Roth's bid for Party leadership on Twitter in late 2012.[1] Roth had just before failed in her bid to be nominated as the party's top candidate in the 2013 federal elections, and was rumored not to be running for re-election as party leader.

Volker Beck called in July 2013 for a "candystorm for Edward Snowden", calling for admission of Snowden under hashtag #snowstorm22.[2]

Cultural debate about the phenomenon

Axel Hoffmann, vice chairman of the liberal Friedrich Naumann Stiftung, saw this phenomenon as paradigmatic for the digital society: "The end of the liberal civil society is in sight. Shitstorm and candystorm rule." („Das Ende einer liberalen Bürgergesellschaft ist in Sicht. Der shit- oder candy-storm regiert.“) [3]
