Agreed. Edgy is fine when you’re like 10-13 years old, anytime after that you’re just a bitter loser.

Edgy is neither good or bad. It just is.

When people who are actually hateful use “edgy” to disguise their views, it becomes bad.

When “edgy” is used against people who hold those views, it’s good.

An amount of “edgy” is a tool and a double edged weapon.

If I had a nickel every time I met some shitposter who made racist, homophobic or sexist memes “ironically,” and then later turned out to be a reactionary bigot, I’d be rich. Irony is often a shield these people hide behind that allows them to continue to push reactionary and violent ideologies behind the guise of humor.
