>>2724537Are you asking what the subject of his sentence is?
Or are you asking what is a name when no one is using it?
Ironically Shakespeare wrote, a "rose" by any other name smells just a sweet. Imagine if bara was a rose. Imagine the smell.
>>2724542The "wrongness" is you thinking a genre is an adjective. The only thing that makes up a narrative genre is - get this - a narrative.
What makes a genre? a generation? A gender? Are you male because you have a penis? Or is it it because you have penis that you are distinguished, virtually, as part of the plurality of creatures who also have a penis - a group, named after the form "masculine". That is all it is, a group name. A collective noun. Not an adjective.
Should the form not exist, the group merely lose it's name. It's still a group.
Should the group not exist, you merely lose your categorization. You still have a penis.
