ApexAlex - I am not trying to shut you down in your inquisitive nature, but the continuing of this conversation in this thread offers more opportunities for certain people to take offense and derail the thread about what is or isn't that genre. People can always claim something is a certain thing to them - but that's both the beauty and the beast with differing perspectives, to see things from others' view. When it becomes a problem (as is with certain genres which some people both hold with high regard and high disgust), that's where the site's definition of the issue is the final arbitrator for the forums.
If you want to better understand the other viewpoints or discuss hypotheticals - an off-topic discussion thread is a better place so that derailing doesn't matter (and there are A LOT of them on on this topic). Continuing here won't prove to be fruitful - it almost always degrades into name-calling, accusations, belittling, and diversionary discussions that ends up clogging pages of the thread until a moderator comes in and mass-deletes dozens of posts without even bothering to read them to find which ones are actually on-topic.
