#HFY #hfywar #hfystories #scifi

HFY, "Humanity Feck, Yea" is a popular genre of speculative fiction, particularly in online communities like the r/HFY subreddit on Reddit. It focuses on stories that celebrate or highlight the unique strengths, resilience, and potential of humanity in sci-fi or fantasy settings, often contrasting humans with alien species or other "others."Based on the definition you provided from the r/HFY FAQ, these stories emphasize a "human element" – such as ingenuity, determination, adaptability, or sheer toughness – that allows humanity to overcome challenges, excel, or stand out in universes where Earth (frequently called a "Deathworld" or "Hellworld" due to its harsh conditions) is viewed as an anomaly of chaos and survival. Humans might be portrayed as underdogs who surprise more advanced civilizations with their capabilities, whether through technological innovation, cultural depth, or raw endurance.
This genre flips traditional sci-fi tropes where humans are the fragile newcomers, instead showing us as formidable or "monstrous" in a positive (or sometimes cautionary) light.
Related subgenres or tropes like "Humans Are Space Orcs" (HASO) or "Humans Are [Fantasy Race]" draw parallels to fantasy archetypes, where humans are seen through alien eyes as barbaric, unpredictable outsiders – much like orcs in a typical fantasy novel. These stories explore humans as underestimated "barbarians" who might be viewed with fear or disdain but often prove superior in unexpected ways. Unlike pure HFY, which tends to put a positive spin on humanity, HASO can delve into our darker sides, such as aggression or moral ambiguity, from an outsider's perspective.
Overall, HFY and its variants are about empowering narratives that showcase humanity's grit and potential, often shared in short stories, series, or narrated videos on platforms like YouTube and Reddit.
