Meh… personally, I think the more I age, the less I find that kind of thing to be “transgressive”… At the end of the day, it’s still centering a white man’s perspective, and I don’t find that personally very mind-bending or going against the grain. Even if the guy is the perennial loser, there is lots of works like that from that straight white male perspective. It’s far less common to see that perspective from women or POC or LGBQT+ people. Or to see a really transgressive perspective that lays bare the whole rotten system from below.
YMMV, of course.
