I’m done having conversations about “relatability” when people don’t define what they actually mean.

A story where no one acts in a way you can empathize with or operates on a logic you can understand? Sure, it can be an interesting experience, like decoding something in another language or analyzing a parable for its moral, but it’s often a very emotionally distant one. (And yes, I believe those are both skills you can be better or worse at and skills you can improve on with effort.)

It can also be a symptom of the canon. Plenty of canons out there where characters are nothing but vehicles for something else and have the character depth of puddles so the only things there are to relate to are the extremely basic plot or surface traits. Musicals suffer from this a lot

Right, good point. There are absolutely other ways to enjoy stories, whether it’s for the plots or the music or the visuals or the jokes. And some individual works or whole genres tend towards that side of things.

I completely agree. I can't do emotionally distant arcs. It's not about relating to the characters, it's understanding their motivations.
