The concept of a world being \
to:
The concept of a world being \\\"grimbright\\\" disgusts me and I truly hope the word is abolished.

How lazy do you have to be to take those two completely opposite words and just slam them together? The term \\\"grimdark\\\" is already grossly misused to describe \\\"it\\\'s too edgy and grim for me to enjoy it\\\" and now \\\"grimbright\\\" is a way to validate that by saying \\\"here\\\'s when you make something grim but not too grim.\\\" It\\\'s ButNotTooBlack applied to literature/fantasy/fiction.

The only common use it seems to have is among heavy nerd circles and Warhammer fans. I only found articles describing it here, on reddit, Space Battles, and 1d4chan.

I fear that like \\\"noob\\\" and \\\"SJW\\\" it\\\'s going to leak into everyday use, and like \\\"edgy\\\" and \\\"ironic\\\" it\\\'s going to be misapplied every single time.
