Also spelled "safegay," this refers to implied homosexuality in a fictional work done subtly enough to be marketed towards a mostly straight audience or to children. This usually occurs when the creators don't want to cause controversy. or the higher-ups wanted them to tone it down if the plan was originally to show it more obviously.
Usually, it's hard to catch the first time around, but becomes more obvious each time you consume that media.

It took Sarah a couple seasons to catch the "safe gay" in her favorite television show, but once she noticed it, it was cemented in her mind.

Edginess that skirts the line of demonetization and actually hurting people's feelings. Effectively edginess while exclusively "punching up".
Safe edgy people joke about white people and white counties like Italy, France, England etc. but never say actual racial slurs. Might say "faggot" if they're gay or gay-adjacent but only use it in a positive tone or aggressive tone towards people who aren't gay. They occasionally make jokes about "zionists" and Jews but claim to not be anti-semitic.

Idubbbz went from being actually edgy to only being safe edgy in a few years due to his wife and Youtube pushing against his edginess.

People who are safe edgy only joke about drunk driving or arson, but never anything else violent or offensive.
