safe edgy 

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.

Phrase coined in late 2022 to describe people who think they are cool for joking about "taboo" topics when in reality, those topics are not really taboo and they themselves get angry over people making actual jokes about taboo topics. In a nutshell, they:

>Have a soystache and a receding hairline most likely

>Are either on reddit or discord
>Watch either Hasan or Moistcritikal
>Think that Smiling friends and Bojack horseman are the most edgy shows to ever exist
>"Eat the rich"
>Worship Sanders and Cortez
>Probably owns a "do not tread on me" flag, but with the trans colors
>Will only joke about white people, specifically English, French, and Italian people
>Will not dare to make fun of people who's skin color is darker than a paper lunch bag though
>Will also make fun of Israel, but only because of "Zionism" and for them being "white" (even though they are arguably not). Making fun of them for being Jewish will make them spaz out
>Will only make fun of right wingers
>Will always make fun of Kirk, but making fun of Good and Pretti makes them spaz out
>"Yeah, I like to read banned books" and then those books turn out to be not banned at all
>"Christianity is a cult"
>Will always reposts gi robot
>"World war 2 soldiers were the original antifa"
>"My favorite fictional character would beat up an ice agent"
"His humor is safe edgy. He thinks the stuff he makes fun of is taboo when it is not."
