Yeah, I personally don't "relate" to characters in the ways these people seem to mean (seeing one and going "omg they're just like me!!!" sometimes but very few and far between. I'm an acquired taste). Earlier today I saw a post in tumblr that compared "relatable" with "resonant", characters who leap off the page and make you feel what they feel, regardless of how theorically removed it is from yourself. Those are the ones I tend to latch on.

And ofc, there are characters I like as *characters*, because they're fantastical constructs even if they don't make me feel warm and fuzzy or what the fuck ever. This concept of relatability is why some people will jump at you if you like a morally ambiguous characters istg lol.

I've always found it a strange requirement because I like fantasy-settings more as well and like, I'm not a wizard? So how could I possibly relate to a spell-caster to like them? I don't have magic, lol.

Resonant makes more sense and that I can understand, a character doesn't need to fit you they just need to speak to you in some way and that certainly happens to me with various kinds of characters.

Oh yeah I love me a bunch of evil-villains and my love of them has nothing to do with thinking they're good people or aspirational, but how much I enjoy their place in the narrative. You've got a point on that though, if people think that 'relating' to characters is how everyone enjoys them then it makes sense where the knee-jerk reaction to those who like villains comes from, huh.

There are a few characters I relate to in the "just like me!" way, but they may or may not be of the same sex and it's very random, and they're never 100% like me; they might display a similar sense of humor or be an orphan too or whatever.
