About

Safe Edgy is a slang term used to describe humor, especially ethnic jokes, that would be considered edgy and offensive if it was directed at another group. The term is used to describe jokes about British and French people, among other things, and is used as a part of memes criticizing such types of jokes and mocking those who make and enjoy them. Influencers and content creators like Hasan Piker and Cr1TiKaL have both been labeled "safe edgy."

Origin

In 2019, jokes making fun of British people, over their accent and their supposed dental issues among other things, started gaining popularity, with the trend becoming viral in 2020. The trend developed further with jokes about other white ethnicities and countries with predominantly white populations, most notably France, such as the meme about French people being unbearable (examples shown below).

excit @LeaMaric "Safe-edgy" is by far the most cringe trend among aging millennials. Had a blast at The Satanic Temple today, blessed be and hail thyself Selfie Sorcery 3d Witch, 50, Embracing being a Crone. Hail Thyself! I did not know they let you snuggle up to Baphomet for selfies! hi OP. 3d 5:33 AM - Sep 20, 2022 Reply 17 Yup! When you go up to the front door you ring a doorbell and wait for someone to come outside to check vaccination cards and give masks if you need one, then he lets you in and goes over the rules. Sitting on Baphomet and the furniture is something that's allowed and even encouraged! 4 14 ↓
