What exactly makes Darkrai edgy?

>>27629513
Black and red and spiky and nightmares is basically his whole shtick. And this is coming from someone who loves Darkrai

>>27629513

All those edges.

>>27629513
I don't think darkrai is that edgy, he's just kinda quiet and mad looking. I find Lucario way more edgy cause he's like an angsty teenager in a pokemon

People think red/black and anything "negative" is deemed as Edgy

Darkrai isn't really edgy honestly. He's meant to be spooky ghosty thing because nightmares are scary.

>>27629513
>To protect itself, it afflicts those around it with nightmares. However, it means no harm.

Its a lonely, misunderstood creep that hurts people because its trying to protect itself.

>>27629513
He's literally introduced in the game by tormenting a little kid in his own nightmare dimension.

Darkrai is the Freddy Kruger of Pokemon.

>>27629664
But the Dex says it means no harm.

>>27629715
It's the Muslim of the Pokemon world.

>>27629758
Darkrai is the pokemon of peace

>>27629513
Fandom

Its name is literally dark ray

>Black and red color scheme
>"Dark" in his name
>Dark type
>Nightmare powers
It's sad that people think he's an edgelord because he has a cool concept if you go past the "edgy" looking aspects.

>>27629513
Its fanbase

>>27629715
the dex says a lot of things

My favourite legendary. I can understand why people would think it's edgy by a design standpoint and typing. However, it is just a misunderstood mon. Post Darkrai art.

>>27629664
So you are implying that Freddy Kruger is edgy? Because he is not. This word has lost any meaning. Evil, malicious, cruel =/= edgy.

Actually he kind of was like that in the movie, but it wasn't bad at all

Anything that doesn't look like a Kirby/Jigglypuff = Edgy

You realize Reaper was made with every sense of knowing what they were doing right? They made a guy who was too over the top to not like.

If anything Widowmaker was edgier.

Yes, I know. That doesn't make the edgelord meme people have stapled onto his forehead any less prominent.

People have gotten knee-jerk when they see something red and black, but Darkrai screams edgy emo appeal, whether Game freak intended that or not, especially when that was a thing in the mid-2000s. You even have him in the dubbed movie constantly wailing "GOOO AWAY" like hes trying to reflect his parents from his room.

>>27629783
is cresselia a feminist?

friendly reminder that coldsteel the hedgeheg is a pokemon now.

>>27630722
Holy shit what the fuck

I guess everyone forgot what edgy meant.

>>27629600
Note the squiggly bits
Edgy OCs usually lack squiggly bits
Those would be sharp blade-looking shoulder things

>>27629513
Because he's black.

You mean the things that makes him more ethereal?

nothin personnel

>>27629715
>Darkrai wants to be loved.
>Can't because anyone near it will die to Auto-Nightmare that Darkrai can't control.

>>27631767
That makes no sense

Animals do that shit all of the time. They have defensive mechanisms but remain passive creatures.

I dont know much about Rorshack

Reaper is just funny. I actually like Reaper because I dont take him seriously at all. Just "over the top spooky man" He doesnt even need to dress like that but he does because "Mehehehehe I'm evil."

>>27632080
Not sure if Rorschach counts, maybe as an in-universe example? He thinks he's a hard vigilante who sees the world how it is and for what it is and is doing it good, when he's actually paranoid, mentally insane and everyone is reasonably afraid or made uncomfortable by him. The whole point of Rorschach's character is to be disturbing and to show that hard anti-heroes like the Punisher and Wolverine are unrealistic, and people who don't get this piss Alan Moore off(which isn't hard to do, granted).
