Safe

Anything that is safe isn't something the media has to convince you is safe. People have good enough sense and intuition to know what is safe and what is not. If a doctor tells you jumping off a bridge is safe, do you listen to a doctor because the doctor is qualified, or do you make sure you don't try it without a bungee cord if it's above a certain height , especially if it's not a bridge over water?

People know what is safe and what is not, they also know anybody trying desperately to convince them something is safe is a questionable source, even if it's the media.

safe

Aleksandr is safe, probably the safest there ever was to be safe. They say he is so safe that OSHA wanted to recruit him, but he didn't want to take the risk. Aleksandr is the literal definition of safe.

Aleksandr " Literally the definition of safe is me, look it up"

safe gay

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.

Coined by Stacy on the YouTube channel, Geek Remix.

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.
