How often does relatability factor into storytelling for you?

Current Events

OKAY:

"Dude, did you see where that traditionally masculine hetero white male hero punched that fifteen foot tall nuclear cyborg back to his home galaxy! That was bad ass!"

NOT OKAY:

"I can't believe that they had a woman with superpowers beat up a man... who must have been forty or fifty pounds heavier, no way that could ever happen. Forced diversity!! forced feminism!!"
Aren't we all just a series of tubes?
