I hate the fallacy that bleaker is somehow better. I got around that by simply acccepting that people are going to think of me as a hack for writing characters who don't spend half their time having traumatic experiences and the other half sitting around brooding about them. Because a steady diet of grits is just unpleasant.
I also figure that anyone who feels that science fiction isn't a "real" genre is simply sabotaging themselves. Poor insecure dopes don't even know what they're missing.
