In my games this would be called the HFY rule because of how pervasive the trope is in that theme.

How do you pronounce that? "Huffy?"

It's an initialism. Aitch-Eff-Why. I've never heard it pronounced before.

Humanity: Fuck Yeah!

Subgenre of science fiction subverting the "humans are average" trope by celebrating the things that make humanity unique among hypothetical alien civilizations. Lots of emphasis on our durability, endurance, creativity, and potential for overwhelming violence.

Hey this was fortuitous! I just ran across that acronym a couple days ago and meant to look it up, but wandered off, and then here we are!

Your comment got me to discover the existence of initialisms and their difference from acronyms, thank you
