HFY, as far as my experience goes is like 70% lowest common denominator cookie cutter sf trope, 29% cryptofash genocide fantasy about how the aliens deserved to be genocided, and once in a blue moon you find some of the 1% stories that aren't too bad.
Like 40K?
I'm not too familiar with 40k so I don't know. I'm talking about HFY stories on I've read on the internet, so stuff not written by professional writers.
I mean at least 40k is satire
We are sometimes reminded that the empire of man is a gigantic fascist death cult.
That's literally the whole point though. I mean the God Emperor of man literally did not like religion.
