Sadly, that was mostly a joke. I do not personally see the need for classifications based on niche fan-bases (it seems redundant and a little egotistical). Still, I am glad others have found the small phrase humorous or potentially helpful.

(Not disagreeing with your post, just adding my two cents)
There is a difference between tragedy and tragic (when it comes to storytelling). (And no, I am not talking about a
tragic hero.) A tragic character or story can be found in any genre (even comedy (like ntr stories
)), whereas a Tragedy is a very specific set of conventions (which have been elucidated in Don's post).
