When the "sweeping judgements" are based on 15 years of observing the fandom, they make no one cry - except those who realize they are actually included in the judgement.

Given that Space Marine SF's been around since at least 1959's "Starship Troopers" and became permanently entrenched as a sci-fi staple with 1986's "Aliens", I really doubt Halo's inspired much new work, even with the latest generation.
