It's an initialism. Aitch-Eff-Why. I've never heard it pronounced before.

Humanity: Fuck Yeah!

Subgenre of science fiction subverting the "humans are average" trope by celebrating the things that make humanity unique among hypothetical alien civilizations. Lots of emphasis on our durability, endurance, creativity, and potential for overwhelming violence.

Your comment got me to discover the existence of initialisms and their difference from acronyms, thank you
