"Actually it's edgelord humor."
Yeah, you can be an 2016-style edgelord without being racist.
then go on complaining about george soros woke globalist agenda, that you can't tell innocent jokes anymore and how it was better in the good ol' days that u could say any racist slur and nobody would get offended by it
The worst part is that they don't even understand what edgelord comedy is.
The best example of edgelord comedy imo is a big chunk of "Stinkmaner Strikes Back" from the Boondocks, I laughed my ass off at the idea of someone being so racist that Satan himself sent them back to earth back just to be racist again... only to be defeated by being chill.
I say "a big chunk of" because in some sections I can't get the punchline to laugh at like the exorcism scene.
And when I say "2016-style edgelord without being racist" , I mean as long as the punchline can be understood as not being reactionary or bigoted even 2016-style shock humor up to and including ones that would uh... leave some of us speechless to say the least... would be fine in my books.
Though you should be careful or your meme becomes the next Moon Man.
Here's an example of a 2016-style edgelord video that's well within Lemmygrad rules (from 2020)
