I actively dislike games that feature "relatable" me. I already relate to myself, I can "relate" to myself for free at any given moment. I want to experience the story of someone very much not myself.

And I am hardly alone there. The most popular characters in Starcraft 2 by mass community poll were Abathur, Alarak, and Alexei. A sociopathic bug, a religious zealot space-elf, and a depressed Russian zombie. The "relatable" characters couldn't even break top-8. People loved their very alien (pun intended) perspectives and worldviews, they didn't give a shit about Raynor and Kerrigan's little love story hiccups and "human" concerns. It's sci-fi, they wanted sci-fi concerns.

Problem is, these aphantasia types are loud, and insist on being part of the creation process even for things they'd never buy. "No character has a hangnail on their fourth toe of their right foot, I just can't identify with their experiences!"
