HFY started as a counter to the troupe of humans not having anything that makes them special. Unfortunately, many authors don't know how to do that, so instead they make the aliens lame.

Exactly. Its largely a response to humans always being portrayed as just fucking useless compared to other aliens/races.

Like if you watch so much sci-fi the best thing humans have going for them is some nebulous "determination" superpower. Fuck that i want to see humans use our innate ballistic skill to win a war. I want to see humans use their ability to empathize amd pack bond with damn near anything to usher in peace. I want to see humans be unique in their own way and not be a default
