...that has never been my understanding of "genfic". Genfic is fanfiction with no romance or sex

And there are many, many fandoms that would allow for hurt/comfort as if it were "an episode of the show in question" if that is your definition of Genfic.

You have a baked in misunderstanding then. I can see where you came by it, because a lot of older episodic shows and fandom just didn't have much in the way of romance in them to start with, so you probably misinterpreted regular show story which ordinarily didn't have romance just as a matter of course, as just being no romance in general. If a show is romance heavy then genfic from that show would involve shipping, and, yes, if the show is about woeful people feeling sorry for themselves and someone nursing them, then h/c would also be genfic for that show. Gen means "generic" fic.

"Gen" may mean "generic fic" in some tiny fandom somewhere you belong to. But for the general fandom public, it does not. Genfic means fic with no romance or sex. You can have genfic with hurt/comfort in literally ANY fandom. I could write some hurt/comfort gen, highscool AU fic about the show Taskmaster.
