is that piece of media actually bad, or is it just not following the blueprint you projected onto it? is that work actually not good, or are you just demanding something from it that is absolutely antithetical to its themes, genre, tone, and narrative goal? is that story actually poorly written, or do you just dislike that it is not the specific things you wanted from it that it never set out to be, never was, and never is going to become? is it actually bad, or is it actually well-executed and you just dislike the story it chose to be because it isn't catering to your specific desires and expectations?
people hate it when i say "black people getting cancer is racist" but im literally fucking right because systemic racism has led to chemical dumping being acceptable in black/brown neighborhoods and black people have higher rates of cancer as a result
I agree with all of this. But! I think it is also important to recognize that there are subgenres where it is significantly harder to find certain things, and it's actively unhelpful to readers to pretend that you can just find whatever type of book you want to read if you just know how to look for it, especially if you are sticking to trad publishing.
It is possible to find both sapphic SFF and M/M fantasy. It is significantly harder to find, say, aro urban fantasy. Or trans romantic suspense. Or intersex mystery.
A lot of the advice above only really works for trad published or popular books and for identities/subgenres/content that aren't too niche.
So here's some advice if the advice above isn't working for you (either because you can't find books with what you want or because the books you are finding don't end up being the vibe you want), from someone who reads a few hundred books a year:
Find websites or lists dedicated to the specific thing you are looking for. They will generally have more variety and will post you to examples that don't show up in regular rec lists. (ex: aro book recs, ace book recs, intersex #ownvoices database, sapphic books). Goodreads lists can (sometimes) also be your friend.
Get comfortable reading self-published and small press books. Trad publishing has its blind spots.
Check Reddit for recommendations
Start figuring out what it is specifically that you like and then start making your searches more specific. This can be subgenre (if you want urban fantasy, you're rarely going to find it just searching "fantasy"), tropes, plot devices, vibes, etc.
Look at the "readers also bought" on Goodreads/Amazon, similar books on Storygraph, etc. if you read a book you like. Even if you don't end up reading the one you click on, it can show you similar authors (similar to looking at the blurb on a cover), especially because far fewer books have blurbs now.

It says: This advice might save your life: 1. Don't make small talk with cops. It makes ZERO difference if you have "nothing to hide." 2. Don't trust cops. They don't know the law and they're legally allowed to lie to you. 3. NEVER consent to a search. No matter how innocent you are. 4. NEVER make a deal with cops. They do not have ANY legal authority to offer you a plea deal. They're trying to trick you into making a false confession. Many innocent people can be saved by this advice.

Another note:
Do not take any food or drink, but if you absolutely have to, bring the cup/trash with you and discard them at home following your detainment or interview period.
Anything discarded can and will be used to obtain your DNA. Even if you aren't a match, even if you're innocent. If you are in the United States, your DNA profile can and WILL be entered into a national database. (Click for source)

One thing: Paint Tool Sai had to basically completely stop development of Sai 2 because nobody bothered paying for his program. A license isn’t expensive and you can put it on multiple devices. Please consider buying a license. It’s only around $35 USD, a one-time payment, and it applies both to Sai and his Sai 2 demo.
If you’ve used Sai for a long time without paying, please consider buying a license to show your appreciation for an incredible piece of software.
However, it’s always morally correct to not pay Adobe.
when you think about it fanfiction is actually amazing
there are thousands of brilliantly written novel-length stories kids wrote from their own brains about characters and shows/books/movies they love all twined into the internet and other kids read these 50k+ stories in their own time and invest themselves in it
nobody’s being paid to write it and nobody’s being told to read it, people do it because they legitimately enjoy it
that is just kind of amazing
