Yeah, this is an odd stereotype on social media about what's currently published. There's a wide variety of fiction not merely on shelves but on tables, prize shortlists. Translated fiction is getting a big push. It's not perfectly representative but I don't see the male, pale, stale thing on lists?
There's loads of capital L literature written by people who aren't "straight white (often older) men" and it's weird that people feel the need to pretend otherwise
