I've never heard the term "edgy" used IRL outside of a synonym for irritable
It's just a SJW meme word

>Lapis is grumpy so she is edgy
I guess Squidward is the ultimate edgelord now.

Edgy has been a fairly common phrase for at least the last 10 to 15 years. We were using it to make fun 90s trends when I was in highschool. It's a real phrase used go dag on things to try to he cool, grim dark, or extremely violent for no reason or to try and come off as more mature than it is.. You know "edgy" shit.

Depends on how and when the term is used, but yes, "edgy" is more or less a buzzword when people think the writing or character tries to be "deeper, or darker" than it really is or should be.
Lapis should not be in that image
On a sidenote, Shadow should have been a tenrec, as opposed to an actual hedgehog.

I don't remember Payne being all that edgy outside of the way she dressed

It's basically like gothic, but less dark (and maybe mature) and more wild:

It’s a meme word used to hinder creativity.

>I have suffered in such ways I am too hurt to cry more than a single tear.
Tell me honestly in viewing this Lapis wouldn't have followed this up by choking Blue out with her own tears if CN censors weren't there to stop it.

"Edge" is when a material has a scene explicitly for the sake of appearing cool or shocking the viewer, or to serve as "clickbait" in a sense, attracting simpletons to the show simply because it "does things that others don't".
Like Sword Art Online's rape scenes, they don't add anything to the story, but you'll hear SAO's fans say "this anime is more mature than the others because it has rape!"
That's not to say that rape is inherently edgy, Goblin Slayer is an example of rape actually serving a function within the world itself, outside of existing to say "This character got raped! WHOOOOOOAAAAAA"
Or of course, Shadow using guns as a selling point for his game.

no
yes

It definitely used to be more specific but as it came more mainstream it quickly was watered down to pretty much meaningless insult with a shallow theme. Mary Sue would be another good example of term ruined by popularity.

Sasuke and Shadow are whiny little edgelord retards with no social skills.

Edge is real but the problem is that retards just use the word in response to "thing that personally offends me".

It's her design, even though shes actually a super fun character. The only time she acts "edgy" is when she finds out that MAJOR plot point in the second half and it's a believable mood for her to be in.

Wait WHEN Does it have rape? I watched the first two seasons did I just, block it out of my memory?

I keep hearing that word, edgy, what does it even mean?

You can't stop retards. I had faggots say that showing blood was edgy to defend the pussification of Dragon Ball Super.
