And what a shame that we can't really call people the f-word anymore, can't even use LGBT slurs, angrily shakes fist at the sky.
Seriously, I don't get the people who miss these things. I admit that it was funny to the 14 year old version of me to call my friends the n-word while playing Call of Duty, but rather sooner than later we understood that some things aren't edgy, just offensive, unnecessary and hurtful.
And it's not as if edgyness went away completely. Reddit has it's corners, there's plenty of *chan sites, if you search around on YouTube you'll encounter "eDgY" content (edgy in that context == "racist, anti-lgbt, mysoginistic etc.")
Netflix and YT have stand-up specials from edgy comedians. I saw more than one "edgy" Discord server, with "edgy" memes and jokes.
Also typical that a bit furter up in this comment thread, the one thing which is deemed to be wrong with Mastodon is that Anti-LGBT speech is not allowed, which somehow means that you loose diversity. Because what I want when talking to diverse people is hearing them hate gay people for absolutely no reason at all.
Anti-LGBT takes are not opinions to me. I label myself as a tolerating, open-minded person, which doesn't mean that I accept or want intolerant and closed-minded people near me, and I refuse to accept that this somehow makes me intolerant or anti-diversity.
