Making fun of edgy stuff I feel was warranted at one point, but I feel like it was part of a bad trend where now literally anything with any degree of harshness or dire tonality is considered to be "edgy"
I feel as though the term "edgy" has gone from meaning
>"Empty shock value."
To
>"I'm offended by literally anything harsh. Don't wrongthink and go against my puritanical, sheltered ideals."
Case study, OP:
Your pic is edgy, not because I'm offended (I'm not), but because it's making a property have excess gore/blood when the original didn't have or need it.
Am I wrong?

Nigga, it's always been mocking empty shock-value and it STILL is. Nobody is calling stuff like Primal "edgy", but people sure as shit are calling Pibby it.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
No one's offended by edgy pics like OP, most of us have seen shit it doesn't even hold a candle to, the reason edgy shit is so edge is because it's obvious someone is intentionally trying to offend you and just failing miserably at it, basically attention whoring.
idk man I just like those XJ-9 gore pics for some reason.
Robots killing humans is hot

How is this edgy? Do you think any time someone makes something like this it's to offend or get a reaction out of people?
What if I don't necessarily always give a shit about your aesop morality tales and I just wanna make something that conveys my feelings, or perfects a certain production technique?
Your perception of art is inherently limited and formed by nothing but pop culture. Which is fine, except for when you try to start gatekeeping art based on your own ignorance.
Tell me, do all paintings have plots? Do sculptures? Does all music have a "plot"? No? Then why should all movies follow this completely arbitrary rule? That's limiting what the medium is capable of expressing.
Am I seeing double here?

Yes, that's genuinely the only reason anyone makes stuff like this and you sound like a middle schooler who complains that his parents don't get him
