There was a period when every FPS was called a DOOM-clone and now we're at the point of boomer shooter being a term. Horror games have their own subgenre of mascot horror and the genre as a whole is all the worst for it. Rogue-like and rogue-lite are both terms that exist because the best way to summarize a "procedural based levels with permadeath" is to name it after a game from 1980. Crying about a term that really refers to "anime aesthetic, indirect combat, and narrative featuring a character with a full story" makes you look like a whiny bitch.
Bro, shut up.
