Note to Sony: “edgy” != “sexist”
“Edgy” is one of those words that has been rendered virtually meaningless by the entertainment and advertising industries (and a number of art majors as well).
I personally think that “edgy” can now be described as meaning “crossing some boundary of good taste”. Wil Wheaton, in trying out for acting parts and failing because he didn’t seem “edgy”, observed that it means all sorts of things, but it generally seems to mean “unwashed”.
