[nyxelestia]

When I want to broaden my horizons, I read articles about the relevant topics online or in a magazine.

When I read fiction or another book, by and large it's because I expect to enjoy it.

Also, I've probably read a lot more about "other cultures" that wasn't proselytizing in one way or another than in published literature. If I want to read about another culture, I'd rather just read a good story from a character who happens to be in that culture or a non-fiction article about them. I would rather not every fictional, multicultural work I read be about crises of identity and culture-clashing, but that's what tends to make up the bulk of such works in published fiction. I have enough ethnic identity crises and culture clashes in my own life, I don't want to waste time reading about them.

And quite frankly, I've found far, FAR more new things in fanfic than in published fic. There are just tons of barriers in published fiction that don't exist in fandom.
