What is the opposite of "Humanity fuck yeah!"?

>>48623354
Drowtales. Humans are stupid animals and don't have souls.

>>48623354
OP's existence.

>>48623354
The Imperium of Man.
It pretends it's HFY, but their culture is barbaric, decadent, barely functional, and quite explicitly doomed.
At best the heroic individuals in it's military forces and Inquisition can stave off said destruction, but given the rate that the group's are riven with corruption and useless people die and take others with them this is at best a delaying tactic.

The Imperium of Man survived by sacrificing everything that makes Humanity worth surviving at all, and much like The Emperor they are propped up in a shaky semblance of unlife as they wither, rot, and inevitable fail.

>>48623429
And even if you claim that the methods they've taken were the ONLY way it could have survived, this further solidifies it as the opposite of HFY; this means that literally every course possible in this setting was ultimately a pointless and futile one for the human race, and their destiny was to shine brightly before dying impotently and flailing at the dark like the broken children they were, accomplishing nothing, living for nothing, and leaving nothing behind.

>>48623474

Humanity dying off would've gone a long way to weakening Chaos, too.

Yet somehow Eldar spawned Slaanesh and all three older Chaos gods were born before humanity reached sufficient numbers to shape the Warp. Other races fucked more than humans and there is no reason to believe they won't fuck up again. Unless you embrace green future ruled by Orkz.

The media that HFY was a reaction against in the first place of course.

>>48623907
Should that be said, or read in a Spanish-speaking person's accent?

Like, when I read stuff I get this basic, English reading shit because most of what I read is in English but then there's stuff that makes me wonder if it should be read like someone with a certain accent is saying it.

tl;dr the way you formatted that makes me think of a mexican fat guy going all like "¡Aliens hell no!" at an alien invasion, and a joke about hopping fences or unlawful crossing of borders come to mind...

>>48623474
The Emperor is the only thing keeping Chaos away. His death would allow Chaos to devour reality. Unless other factions either weaken/destroy the Chaos Gods or humanity is mostly killed off by the time of his death.
I'd say that the Emperor keeping himself alive to preserve humanity, and the galaxy as a whole, just to get another chance of fixing the problems is pretty HFY

I can't be the only one that gets a kick out of Humanity being "Shitty Space Nigeria" in a space opera, am I?

Hear me out about this; Humanity steps into the stars and finds them crowded, already well-mapped and traversed by alien civilizations that have known the hyperdrive as long as we've known the wheel. Still, space is vast, so we manage to etch out our stellar neighborhood as territory. As soon as we come on the radar as a regional power, greater minds fall upon ours in the hopes to extract whatever droplets of wealth and intelligence our race has to offer.

Our region become a hotbed of proxy wars and xeno-funded strife that encourage our better minds to immigrate elsewhere, leading to a brain drain that leaves us even more vulnerable to strife and exploitation. Humanity is still powerful, but we are forever kept from our true potential, little more than curiosities and mercenaries, Humanity becoming a byword for idle curiosity and barbarism sustained by the same privileged masses that sniff their breathing appendages our way.

>>48623792

Alternatively, a setting where humans are just yet another oldfag race that had its chance in the sun, and fucked up just as greatly - if not more so - than everyone else before them They are neither the new shit, nor anything special. They are not the designated protagonists, except in their own minds.

>>48624385
right, can that in a way be considered HFY by itself?

>>48624417
A setting where humans have mostly fucked off could be interesting. They didn't quite fail, but they just realized that colonizing and conquering is a lot of work. So now they live in their corner of the universe with enough doomsday machines for protection and sit around writing poetry all day or something.

>>48624417
>a setting where humans are just yet another oldfag race that had its chance in the sun, and fucked up just as greatly - if not more so - than everyone else before them They are neither the new shit, nor anything special. They are not the designated protagonists, except in their own minds.

In Stellaris we would call that a "Fallen Empire."

Unimaginably powerful, intelligent, decadent, and completely stagnant. They reached for greatness, held it, and decided there was more to life than power, deciding to recede into their core worlds and spend the rest of existence in hedonism and decadence.

See >>48624460

I believe the term Paradox used to describe the Fallen Empire is "Imperial Space China."

Their borders are protected by ancient, self-replicating automatons and their worlds are verdant paradises artificially maintained for optimal living. Their technology is indistinguishable from magic, and the average Human enjoys a lifespan that is theoretically longer than some stars (assuming the Human does not simply upload themselves into a digital consciousness and move to a Dyson sphere.)

>>48624427
Most likely, yeah. If other species have an advantage when it comes to experience, knoweledge and/or physical attributes and humans end up better than all of them anyways, the setting is probably HFY

>>48623645

To be fair, the Dominion is the imperialist counterpart to the Federation and it's implied quite often that a full-on war between the two would see the Alpha Quadrant burn.

The entirety of Deep Space 9 was between the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire and the Federation against a single Dominion fleet and their Cardassian lackeys (and the Breen, but fuck those fridgeheads.)

>>48623570

Because the rest of the Dominion's fleet got squished by a group of the aforementioned godlike superbeings, because a human told them to.

>>48624528
>>48624525
I was thinking that they'd live more like ancient Greek philosophers. Some hedonists, possibly, but mostly sitting around trying to answer fundamental questions about beauty, love, and life.

Could be an interesting story when the protagonists wind up accidentally crashing into a human ship, and the humans put them on trial to see if they're morally mature enough to leave without being educated. Especially if the humans view moral education as a process that takes thousands of years and the protagonists have shit to do.

>>48624569
>Science ships

The Enterprise is officially an exploration ship, but it's packed full of enough firepower to act as a warship with ease.

>>48624800
>Some hedonists, possibly, but mostly sitting around trying to answer fundamental questions about beauty, love, and life.

The point of a fallen empire and all the tarnished glory that implies is they've *found* the answers to those fundamental questions, there simply aren't any more questions to ask.

And if there were, the answers are either too horrific or too mundane to deserve the effort in pursuing them. We're talking about a civilization so powerful they have effectively found the path to godhood, but found the journey would shackle them to rules that would deny them fundamental vices they've grown to consider an inextricable part of their nature.

What's the point in answering "what is beauty" when you can boot up a 100% realistic simulation of paradise, or with a thought generate the perfect food in a room digitized to look like a pleasant restaurant in whatever time period you fancy? They've spent thousands of years looking for answers, now they've got time to simply sit back and bask in the fruits of their forefathers.

>>48624822

The Federation is full of shit, their Miranda-class is designed to "launch probes" but it's extremely easy to modify it into a photon torpedo bay.

>>48624915
>We're talking about a civilization so powerful they have effectively found the path to godhood, but found the journey would shackle them to rules that would deny them fundamental vices they've grown to consider an inextricable part of their nature.

This doesn't need to be true, though. It's possible that they found the path to enlightenment, and are simply attempting to walk along it. They're not really fallen or tarnished, merely withdrawn. They have no need to find material wealth or galactic power because those things are distraction from something greater.

As a result, their great monuments are gone, their opulence removed, their power decayed. What remains is a small group of beings in the quiet pursuit of the ultimate good.

Of course, at that point, it sort of cases to be the opposite of HFY and becomes HFY, just of a different flavor.

>>48624845
>>48624869
Except it really isn't. If you ever looked outside the narrow genres of fantasy and sci-fi, you would find a whole world of literature covering every aspect of the human condition. 99% of all literature has human main characters, praises human virtue and denigrates human vice in equal measure.

By extension, 99% of all fantasy/sci-fi fiction is rooted in human perspectives, and lionises humanity largely without thinking. For every Avatar, there are a million novels about heroic human space marines shooting evil alien monsters; a million stories where Us and Them are trotted out once again, to do the same tired dance as always. HFY is not breaking new ground. It's spouting the same trite and lazy bullshit as ever, only now with an extra dash of hostility and xenophobia to boot.

My favorite media are where humans are equals. Sure there's some races with higher tech levels and some with lower. But generally speaking, everyone is kind of on the same page.

Like Babylon 5, minus the fact that humans were the ones who end up ascending.

I really can't think of any other examples.

>>48623354
Realism

Humans would be just another race in the setting. They are not destined for greatness. They dont have an "inherent spark" that makes them better than everyone. They are not destined to rule. They are not special.

And that's okay, really. They have their own culture, their own virutes and vices, and their own advantages and disadvantages when compared to every other race. Sometimes they lose, sometimes they win, but they do so not because some half assed plot armor, but because they have the skill and resources to do so. Just like everyone else

I think Halo's the best example of both. As HFY, the first 3 show mankind to be vastly outclassed, outgunned, and outmanned by basically every other species, but through the badassery and sheer will of a few heroes the whole species beats out all the other fuckers.

On the flip side, Halo 4 and all the Prometheans stuff makes humanity a bunch of shits. Chief is no longer a hero, just a pawn that took a really, really long time to get on the board. And as for Ancient Humans, we were a bunch of tribalist asshats that literally got blasted into the Stone Age, and acted like faggots the entire way there. Not HFY.

If you would provide me with access to your banking codes I could effect the transfer of these fund and would be most happy to allow you to retain ten percent of their value in exchange for your trouble.

Cosmic Horror is the opposite. Stressing human limitation, ignorance and inconsequentiality in an, at best, uncaring universe, and at worst, malicious universe of bizarre alien intent.

Lovecraft is anti-HFY.

>b-but dunwich horror!

An old man and his colleagues banished the half-breed mutant spawn of an alien monster and inbreeding wizard and saved some shitty, already creepy backwater town. Big whoop. Keep your Derleth out of this, muh space and time god! Cosmic horror stresses human ignorance, anything we call the alien gods is just that - name we invented and nothing more.

>b-but cthulhu hit by a boat!

What has risen my sink, and what has sunk may rise. The story acknowledges that this was a very minor event and a mere glimpse of the truth. If those stars really were right, you think a steamer ship would have stopped what is supposedly a world-ending event? A brave man blundered luckily through a cosmic brainfart that destroyed his life completely and killed his fellow crew members.

Maybe Peter Watts' Blindsight/Echopraxia/Firefly?

The skies are filled with advanced alien civs, but humans are the only race with consciousness. Everyone else was playing an enormous super-rational acausal trade game across the light years, then humans turned up and simply by transmitting entertainment into space are now the greatest threat to galactic peace in the last billion years (by virtue of introducing a player that is not super-rational), and every dyson sphere from here to the next spiral arm is lining up to disect humanity to understand how evolution went so wrong, 'fix' them (by forcibly merging them into an overmind that thinks the same way everyone else does), sterilise the entire solar system, or something in between.

With humanity's greatest and most heroic attempts to stop them being about as effective as trying to deter the gang full of people with baseball bats about to break every bone in your body by slapping one of them.

HFY isn't a thing. At least, not anything that would have an opposite.

It's just this dumb America Fuck Yeah ripoff that lost it's humor about ten seconds before it was even conceived.

Just let it die, and stop pretending it's anything other than a collection of really poorly written stories alongside an acronym that idiots toss around to label anything that makes them feel like they're not complete failures because they can bask in fictional glories of their species.

>>48629206
Basically this. HFY is basically America Fuck Yea in space. All i see is modern american military in space beating aliens because "special" with the same old shit cliche's used over and over again.

HFY would have been interesting if Humans were given an actual futuristic culture with their own unique technology and clothings and basically go into detail of what makes humanity different from other species in the galaxy. But nope. It is just modern humans in space beating aliens and blah blah blah.

And don't even get me started with the whole "humans are adaptable" bullshit. I said this in a pervious thread and I will say it again. If we are so adaptable then how the fuck, in the future, we haven't used genetic engineering to advance that shit to the point we can grow gills and bread underwater or shapeshift to a certain extent?

Nope it's not even that shit, its modern humans in space taking on aliens cuz MUH SPECIALNIZE

>>48629486
Yes. Also isn't it natural for an intelligent species to evolve through their intelligence and technology? In fact it is completely illogical for an spacefaring species to not evolve. Bettering oneself is only natural.

The problem with HFY and some sci-fi in general is that its always modern humans in space. By the time humanity reaches space the culture should be vastly different from modern times. Like how modern culture is different from medieval culture.

Well memed friend

There's a few options. A fictional setting where humans are a subjugated species, where this is accepted as the status quo and our overlords are actually competent at controlling our species for everyone's benefit. A fictional setting where aliens appear and colonize the uninhabited regions of our star system but refuse all contact with us and we end up as a tiny, 'land-locked' world where all the resources that we would use to become a galactic power are being used by somebody else. The gist is humans must be weak and have no drive or ability to change the state of affairs.

Like War of the Worlds were the aliens all die because they get the flu. Avatar is good example of why this is dumb.

A story were humans are the top dogs and rape the shit out of all the hippy aliens armies is HFY.
A story were humans are driven into hiding and become guerillas fighting in the shadows, forever defiant is HFY.
A story were humans kill the earth, and work ourselves to extinction making cool and useless shit can be HFY, because we lived like gods for the meaningless blink of time we existed.

I'm reminded of the way /pol/ told the story of India's colonization that might work.

Basically, that "English" Aliens were taller and stronger than the "Native" Humans. That what seemed like a measly sum to give away, like we would consider a tip to a homeless person today, would be comparable to 6 month wages.

You could give Humanity a corrupt Cyberpunk world, even just use the modern day stuff, where the "Alien" judges tend to be more fair since they don't want to deal with petty human laws and side with the people often.

I've always enjoyed the idea that we're the shifty cockroaches with a knack for logistics.

"Cheap, fast, good. Pick two, unless you hire a human, then it's all or nothing."

A few dozen millions of deads aren't much compared to the extreme HFY usually go.
Sure, it was a mistake of the Great Powers to go full retard when they were holding the world by the balls, dividing it as they saw fit... and then losing the grip after two world wars.
Yet, our species thrived despite said mistake.

It's fucking weird. Nevermind the Covvies using an SPG as an MBT.

Reality with the awareness that humans are nothing but a freak accident in an otherwise empty universe which will come to an end, leaving no trace that the accident ever occurred.

HFY is stupid because non-humans don't exist. We can't know what makes us truly special among the stars, or how to portray a truly alien intelligence without just giving it a set of human traits. So every HFY story out there is just the author tooting his horn about how humans beat other humans but with a different number of limbs because they share the author's morals and the others don't. Being tribalistic about humanity when we're the only ones in the universe as far as we can know and our only adversaries are fictional, differently colored humans in greentext stories on 4chan is kind of childish.

If I want to be proud about humanity, I can always go read about RL war heroes, the space program, the latest science developments and so on. Not about how fleshy humans are better than blue humans cuz endurance hunting.

There's a story called Vilcabamba about the last remnant of the USA trying futilely to defy their impossibly advanced alien occupiers.

It's exactly what you are looking for.

If you consider Americans as the only true humans then there are plenty of non-humans in the world. It's like the folks who believe that Americans created Earth as we know it.
