To be fair, the relatable everyman character isn't always a Perfectly Generic White Dude. Sometimes the relatable everyman character is an Extremely Specific White Dude and the narrative just acts like these are universal experiences he's having in spite of the fact that he's functionally some kind of space alien.

As a creator it's important to remember that people viciously attacking media because they personally didn't find it relatable is almost exclusively the province of professional critics and ultra-niche weirdos on the Internet. They can seem omnipresent because they're so vocal, but in practice, when confronted with a piece of media so intensely personal that it vanishes up its own arse with self-referentiality, 90% of people will just shrug and assume the reason they don't get it is because it's too deep for them.
