This doesn't make any sense in actually real humans. Of course you can make edgy jokes you don't believe. This is clear to everyone in society except a rotating cast of puritans, where a decade+ ago they fundamentalist christians, now they are fundamentalist progressives.

Sure, but that does not require everyone else to believe your "I'm just being edgy" explanation. It's reasonable to take you at face value.

Haha, thank you for this -- I was uninitiated to the saying.
