I’ve recently been redpilled when it comes to the word “edge”. Or just characters that people consider “edgy”.

It’s all bullshit.

The term edge is nothing more than a meme, popularized by the meme and irony filled, postmodern culture. The internet has made everyone cynical and jaded. They’re hollow shells of human beings who can’t handle any actual seriousness without calling something edgy. Now that I’ve been redpilled, I don’t feel as creatively restrained. I don’t think to myself “wow that’s too cringe or edgy”. Now I can write characters a lot better and even create more serious storylines without any type of lingering tension of being called cringe or edgy in the back of my head.

Join me please. Take the edge redpill and never look back.

Ok, you are correct when you say that people today can't handle seriousness.
But "edge" refers to things like Shadow the Hedgehog, where it's something inherently whimsical attempting to be serious, which is just absurd and cringeworthy

reducing things to memes is a meme in itself OP.
the "redpill" is a meme.
language is a system of memes.
Me responding to this bait is an ironic meme, but still a meme.

Sonic was never inherently whimsical. It always went for a grand spectacle and always had some serious edge to it. Even Mario Galaxy was written well enough to be taken seriously even though it’s normally a whimsical series.

But seriousness hanging on flimsy beliefs is extremely cringy. As long as you believe in it 100% than it stops being cringy

No. I’m not falling for that. Sonic tonally is based off of the works of Tezuka, the creator of Astro Boy. Check out Sonic CD if you want proof of that. There was always a grand spectacle and seriousness with the story of the games.

Edgy characters speak constantly about serious subjects, but never actually do anything serious. It's an easy problem to fix, as eventually happened with Shadow the Hedgehog: just have the character engage with the serious things they keep alluding to.
If you're really interested in writing about serious topics (rather than only mentioning them to set a tone), you have nothing to worry about.

Why not both, you can both accept that edgy trash exists and also admit you enjoy edgy trash. Not to say serious=edgy, but look if you like overly dark fluff like shadow the hedgehog, so be it, i don’t see a problem With it, if your aesthetics are edgy that’s fine. Like Rimbaud is edgy, doesn’t mean people don’t enjoy his Edge.
