Ironically, Britney Spears is way edgier than any uptight pretentious Goth prick ive ever encountered 💅

Well except Marilyn Manson -- that guy’s actually pretty Fucking Edgy 😅

but i havent actually ‘encountered’ him have i?

this image is funny to me cuz its meant to be an amusing contrast but i view Britney as an honorary Fedora Lord so they are just squad-fam edge-baes in my eyes 😚

its not a film about food -- its a movie about artistry, passion, edgism, and the problematic nature of a height-obsessed world.

that said, ironically the movie itself is problematic in regards to Manlet Rights issues because the main villain (Chef Skinner) is a manlet and of course portrayed as scheming, deceitful, angry, etc... 😒

The primary function The Fedora-wearing Edgelord has within society is to convince others that unpopular things have validity.

A top-tier Edge Master will be able to effectively trick close-minded normies into thinking utterly maligned things like being whipped, cucked, and castrated are, in fact, super dank & cool AF.

It’s kind of shameful that I did not include Martin Gore within my Top Fav Edgelords 3x3 because he has certainly done wonders in regards to advancing The Edge via his dark & subversive lyrics.

my feminism is supporting women who represent values that are typically male-dominated (like edgy fedorism)

it’s very inspiring/exciting when you see a woman, especially a conventionally attractive one, expressing unpopular opinions or being generally edgy

i’m obviously not the only person who feels this way -- Britney Spears is praised as a Queen, Blaire White & Lauren Southern are popular commentators, etc.

its always adorable to see what Judgers consider ‘chaotic’ 😹

“you just act edgy for attention!”

if i wanted attention/popularity i’d post tepid, uninspired, mediocre, pandering normie / trad schlock cuz that’d get me waaay moar followers bro

and it would be easier, too. like blogging on autopilot.

edgism takes effort. blood, sweat, and tears.

it requires creativity, originality, deep thought, bravery, etc.

now u mite look at Britney Spears and say: “but she’s edgy and shes super-popular. how do you explain that?”

Simple: she appears (at a glance) to be milquetoast & banal. a vapid, blonde bimbo stacy.

(she herself comments on this misperception in “Oops! I Did It Again” and “Womanizer”)

The point is that you *can* become popular whilst still maintaining your edgelord status but you have to trick normies into thinking that ur banal -- usually by utilizing an unintimidating & appealing aesthetic

I used to be all ‘Gothed out’ but thankfully I grew out of that lame phase.

"Attention Whore" title suits you better

yeh i havent been terribly edgy lately due to lethargy & apathy. plus been busy IRL

(im truly sorry about that)

there are times when I can be an attention whore but generally i am pretty far from one

attention whores are typically hack fraud panderers who will say/do anything to gain approval from others

in the context of tumblr this means making short, pithy text posts that adopt a safe position that the majority of ppl will agree with

either that or just posting banal, generic meme/aesthetic crap with hundreds of thousands of notes that has largely universal appeal

that said, adopting a bombastic, shocking persona can also be a method of attaining fame (or infamy):
