Well, *do* You Just Look Towards The Ends Of Internet Arguments, Or Is Your Sample More Like Ongoing

It's probably not actually a good thing, just like my whole "that's a muscle? I thought it was a bone" thing isn't good, though probably to a lesser degree.

I thought that Hopepunk was just part of the broader what I'mma call Xpunk - where X is a thing, and punk actually just means future for some reason.

If grimdark isn't a genre, does that mean hopepunk isn't, either?

(With reference to this post here.)

"Hopepunk" is basically the culmination of nerd culture's mistaken propensity to treat genre as a prescriptive checklist of tropes. The term's proponents invented a definition of a genre of media they believed ought to exist, then went about looking for examples of media that fit that definition. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way – genres in media are something that can only be identified after the fact, as a description of emergent trends in the dialogue between creators. If you try to declare a genre into existence by fiat and work backwards to figure out which media belong to it by going down a checklist of tropes, you just end up with a random grab-bag of works which aren't meaningfully in dialogue with each other.

(Some definitions of "hopepunk" do admittedly somewhat resemble romantic fantasy, particularly the late 1980s to early 1990s strand, but as far as I can tell this is coincidental – it's abundantly clear that most of the term's proponents have never read a Mercedes Lackey novel!)

I don't think there's a logic under which you get to claim that phrase without oneself and the first sister don't count besides that...

Hilariously, if you go to the actual Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/1f8x5ma/world_record_rejection/), the poster of the story is saying that

1: That's not his position; he's called the tech lead. and 2: There was a lot of other reasons to fire that HR department, it's just that what he did was what finally convinced the higher ups to actually go and do it. He just simplified the story for the sake of the Reddit post.
