Why should they "keep it to themselves" when writing articles like this is their job? Lol

Hell, even if it wasn't their job, why not explain the rationale behind the decision?

I was contesting the logic behind the article, not the existence of the article. Constructive criticism

it's no big deal, I'm half asleep with a cup of coffee, maybe I misunderstood

How could they not write about the negative aspects when that's what the article is about? Simply saying they want to read more diverse takes wouldn't explain "why" they do.

It's the absolutism of not reading white men
Instead, just don't read them and keep it to yourself, platform on the positive new people emerging

Yeah none of that seems wrong.

If I hadn't made a similar effort to diversify my reading like that I'd have never discovered The Three Body Problem, and Rage of the Dragon

It's not the diversity part, it's intentionally isolating who you're closed off to

I see nothing wrong with any of that. What do you specifically feel was worded poorly?

Could have been positive without the negative. Should still read "cis-het" white men among the rest, proportionately. It's unnecessary to isolate what you're not going to do instead of what you're going to do

https://bookriot.com/decolonizing-my-sci-fi-reading/

As bookish people, we are all mostly aware on some level that the diversity of the publishing industry doesnt reflect the diversity of the country, much less the English-speaking world. Back at the beginning of 2018, I stopped reading books by cis-het white men because they are over-represented in publishing. Since then, Ive made a concerted effort to read more authors of color, although I confess that at the moment my obsession with cozy mysteries and audiobook thrillers has skewed my stats toward white women something I am focused on changing for 2022.

One of my favorite genres is science fiction. I dearly love a good space story, but it is a tenet of the very sub-genre that it deals with colonization, often as a result of the speculation about possible future events, based solidly on adequate knowledge of the real world, past and present, and on a thorough understanding of the nature and significance of the scientific method, to quote Robert Heinlein. To put it another way, science fiction is what happens when we imagine what humans would do with more technology than we currently have. Based on the way that humans interact with technological developments, it is a fair bet that we as a species would attempt to disseminate our way of life to other places and if they exist beings. And that, my friends, is colonization.

Science fiction is, at its core, an exploration of the human psyche and condition, particularly as it interacts with science and technology. It is a way for readers to plumb the depths and scale the heights of what could happen if we were not, for all intents and purposes, limited to Earth and occasionally the Moon. What if our technology was other worldly? What if we could reach other planets? And most importantly, what if those other planets were already home to cognizant forms of life? How would we adapt, survive, and thrive?
[..]
One of the ways I am working to decolonize my science fiction reading is to diversify it. White cisgender male authors are vastly over-represented in science fiction, and they come from the dominant gender and race of the English-speaking world, whether they are consciously buying into the narrative or not. A good way to mitigate that narrative is to read it from different perspectives, and those perspectives are usually written by authors who are either non-white and/or not male.

I usually don't take the bait on this, it's just worded poorly. Just say you're looking for diversity and new writers without the rest, lol
