Personally, I am genuinely glad people have relatable content, especially people from niche demographics who don’t often get to feel included and represented. This is good. I am only remarking on and somewhat baffled by how this has become the new de facto norm. It’s not about complaining about the new crop as it is lamenting the loss of a once a beloved artform that seems to have largely left the field; I’m not upset at the new occupants to have filled the vacated space, not directly at least.
And to be clear I’m not trying to suggest you’re saying against any of that, just using your conversation as a opportunity to clarify my position ✌
It doesn’t just seem to pervade webcomics. I think this is part of what makes memes so off-putting to me. Relatable is not a characteristic I pursue in media.

I like relatable in a funny way.
