How do I drop edginess without becoming picrel?

High school ended six years ago but my sense of humor hasn't changed in a super meaningful way. This is mostly because it didn't need to, my primary friend group was all alt right guys who joked about Jews and black people. Now I'm not friends with them anymore and I'm finding it kinda hard to adapt to being around everyday people at bars and stuff. Obviously I know better than to make Jew jokes or say nigger in public but I still call stuff gay and retarded and I'm kinda at a loss when socializing because I lean on right wing humor so much, even if I'm not really right wing myself, I just think it's funny. But with the kinda people I hang around I don't think they'd appreciate that, I especially don't want to offend my apolitical buddies. I really don't know how to move on from that stuff without becoming a prude.

You really need to find your own sense of humor that you can be proud of. I would tell "dark jokes" in high school to get laughs, but you get older and realize that dancing around saying the n word is a lot funnier than just dropping a hard r in the middle of the room. If you drop edginess entirely then you WILL turn into an Idubbbz because he was just like us: edgy, outspoken, etc. Literally just watch Eastbound and Down and you'll learn how to be funny

4chan exists. Be like that here. There's this red board called /pol/ where we can be as racist as we want.

the problem idubz had was he had a massive 180; he's like super anti-edgy now, almost just as much as he was edgy, making fun of right-wing stuff. i think he was always kind of like that but just did it because it was in fashion. with your situation, just stop caring about it; don't have a problem when someone else says it or if they do, just go along. if they don't, just leave it, or forgo that entirely and just don't do it. don't take a moral high ground just stop saying "nigger," "gay," or "retarded." Replace it with something, fill it in with something inane or nonsensical like "chud" or "stank ass," or say that something is "green"—something foolish or just funny to say. See what gets people grinning or watch for what they say themselves; maybe blame all the worlds problems on ghouls or gnomes instead of jews or whatever you find funny to say or do outside of that

Stop being friends with liberal women and queers? Saying the N word in public might be a bit too much, but you should be able to say 'retarded' and 'gay' with your friends. If people are getting offended you might be trying to socialize with people who are retarded and gay

Please don't do that, "safe edgy" is the worst sense of humor you can possibly have

Just expand on your sense of humor. Humor is all about subverting crowd expectations and having a variety of things to joke about is fun. If you don't make racist jokes your identity it makes the times when you do make those jokes actually funny.

Just bee urself

my friends dropped some hardcore jq talk the other night, had no clue they thought that way. I think you'd be surprised especially in current climate how many people have no problem with your humour or whatever.
