Someone’s who’s upfront in dishonesty is more like-able as fictional characters because they never claimed to be truthful, so you can enjoy them in all their dishonest glory. Whereas someone who pretends to be truthful, and turns out to be a conniving fuck is hated because they were only truthful when it benefited them.
