Pretty much? Until given reason to think otherwise, I presume people mean what they say about themselves. And yeah, I generally don't enjoy unreliable narrators and I don't see how any of this precludes the liking of stories where characters "learn things about themselves."

That's kind of sad.

What? That I don't like the same things you like? That's kind of condescending and pretentious of you.

I meant it back when I was a teen and said I was straight. Come to find out, I've always been bi, but was molested as a child by a woman so I tamped down that side of me so I wouldn't think about that.

Now that I've come to terms with what happened to me, I can embrace the fact that I'm bi. I learned a lot about myself. It precludes someone liking stories about characters who learn things about themselves because the original narrative changes. Like someone who thought they were straight realizes they are not, or someone who says they hate chocolate ice cream tasting some and hey, that stuff's not bad.

Which is why I consider there to always be wiggle room where characters are concerned. Characters are people, too, and people learn and grow as they live life. What is true today for a person, might not be true for them tomorrow. That is part of personal growth.

A changing narrative and an unreliable narrator aren't the same thing.

Dean Winchester's MO has always been to lie to people, ESPECIALLY to Sam, about what's going on with him.

He lied about being ordered to kill Sam, he tried to lie about making the demon deal but got caught, he tried to pretend he wasn't afraid of going to Hell until Sam pretty much twisted his arm to get him to admit he was afraid, he lied about remembering Hell ... the list goes on and on.

So it seems kind of silly to insist that this is the one thing he wouldn't lie about.
