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.

Guy 1: Shut up.
Safe Edgy
Humor that uses offensiveness as part of the appeal and is based around offensive (or taboo) subjects. Edgy humor can take many varieties and forms. An example is the classic gay jokes and rape jokes that were a huge part of gaming culture in the 2000s.
An important and common element in edgy humor is the jokes are not normally enjoyed in a literal way. Usually offensive subject matter is used for an ironic effect or some other sort of psychological effect. For instance, a person may make racist jokes due to humor in the ridiculousness of what is being said and the stupidity of racist stereotypes. Certain slang that was common on the early internet (e.g. "fag, retarded") may be regarded as edgy humor, because these terms were used in a figurative and sarcastic tone, rather than being meant or believed literally.
Because offensive jokes have the potential to be misunderstood and the people offended have a desire to demonize said jokes, edgy humor is normally taken out of context nowadays to just mean "person using jokes to push bad beliefs or prejudices". Edgy humor has had its meaning changed by some as people wish to entirely discount the idea that people can like offensive subjects ironically as humor. Due to edgy humor being misconstrued and people's fear of being stereotyped as a result of them, edgy jokes of all kinds have slowly faded into obscurity in the recent era of the internet, but there is still a subculture that engages in said jokes.
