Let me put it another way then, a story that challenges the colonialist tropes of western pulp and adventure fiction, (by say, depicting native people as people with agency and culture of thier own, instead of dangerous obstacles to be overcome or victims to be pitied) would be a "cool story" to me

I feel like you've constructed some kind of sjw strawman to argue against when all I am hoping for is that boring stereotypes and tropes are not mindlessly regurgitated. Because I'd find it dull before I find it offensive.
