HFY - Humanity Fuck Yeah! is a community for writers and artists to showcase their talent in the HFY genre and for people who enjoy them.

While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.

In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

Soccer includes accurate throwing from the goalie. I'd posit that hitting a projectile with a stick accurately is a close cousin of throwing.

That's all the big ones in US and EU that I can think of.

Baseball, basketball, soccer, football, cricket, rugby, hockey, what am I missing?

That’s just throwing with extra steps.

Football hooliganism is also based around accurate throwing of objects.

Good catches. They both fall under throwing, too.

Ditto kicking.

Soccer is just throwing with your feet
