Talking shit about white males isn't edgy because it's mainstream and the dominant culture. Edginess is about saying things that are socially offensive, usually just for the sake of being offensive. Since the MOST offensive things are to offend the libtard sacred cows, that's what edginess is now.
When I was a kid, edginess was madonna acting like a whore & "piss christ"
velma was neither edgy nor dark because the stereotypes it cracks about aren't even true. sure the white guy in the show has a small dick. but white guys on average do not have small dicks. asians and latinos average significantly smaller dicks. they just made the white guy an incessant whiny loser.
it'd be like if you took the cheap jew cheap stereotype and imputed it onto a black guy. people would just be scratching their heads. you can't just pick up and move a stereotype to someone else.
in contrast, when dave chappelle makes fun of white guys, that shit is fucking hilarious. he cracks on white guy stereotypes, and everyone laughs because everyone knows multiple white guys who fit that.

He also cracked jokes about all races. Everyone knew to check their fragile egos at the door as they'll only be the target for a short time until it's someone else's turn.
Your new filmmaker's guide: "Edgy" is depression and malaise but having the willpower to do something about it.
If they stuck to that, boom, edgy is done as a requirement. "My parents are dead, life has no purpose, and I make sure to bring that darkness to my enemies." Easy edgy.
What they're doing, is comedy. They just don't know it and so it doesn't come off right. "It is funny, you see, because it is the least likely person to be these things! Statistically, anyone else would have been more logical to be the abuser, so now we laugh!"

Yeah or wearing a Bart Simpson shirt to school (showing my age there). Bart was this HORRIBLE role model for kids and look at the show at the time: a happily married heterosexual couple (that loved each other despite faults) with children that go to church on Sundays.
The real outcry and hate-response here should be "Acktually, SpyXFamily is set in the cold war era of Germany, not the WW2 era, so this is factually incorrect fanart. The prison had been out of use at that time."
What happened to the good ol' days when pretentious literalists were the worst of the world?
What's the difference between a cow and the holocaust?
You can't milk a cow for 80 years
Hey, that’s not funny, my Grandfather died at Auschwitz…
He fell out of a guard tower.
dark humor and edginess are not the same thing.

So something like this?

I think that's one of the reasons why so many films fail. They try for a mainstream edginess, and it's quite bad.
"The most common guy is a rapist somehow!" "Yeah, edgy, twisty, look at me being edgy."
It's the practice kendo swords of edgy. All the right parts, no ability to commit suicide.

Which is amazing because George of the Jungle could do it.

I remember when the pinnacle of edgy was "what's the best thing about twenty three year old's?"
That's lot of mouths to feed..

Maybe I'm missing a chromosome or two, but I don't get it.

Arbeit macht frei
Kind of subtle for a screengrab.
only subtle if you've got the comprehension of a brick. Everybody knows what that sign looked like.
Oh interesting I guess I avoided that kind of Jewish indoctrination so I didn't recognize the style only the words from learning German.
Dark humor is like Ethiopian food.
Not everyone gets it.
I wonder - is that book she's holding by Viktor E. Frankl? Adds a whole other meta layer if so
