I think your concluding point about its being a systemic issue is a crucial one: writers put a lot of pressure on themselves but ultimately you can only tell the story that's yours to tell. The publishing machine picking out the stories that suit dominant culture's purposes...

Isn't something writers can really control. (Also I learnt a couple of years ago that both my parents have eaten dog meat and I found the stories hilarious, but awkward to tell in a Western setting ... )

When I was ten, my relatives took me to a restaurant that specialised in purportedly endangered animals and they thought their Very Cunning Con was *hilarious*. For years afterwards they'd tease me about how I went from being an animal lover to loving to eat animals.

The lack of control is.... terrifying but goes with the ground. We can overthink this even if obviously you can tell I come from the I CAN SOLVE THIS WITH MY MIND school of worrying.
