Why is character development so goddamn important for everyone?
I don't see anything wrong with characters having the same (however complex and/or faulty) characteristics and personality throughout a story with no change. A character can go through a journey without changing their personality or their opinions on stuff, and that would still be an interesting read.
Most people don't change, why must characters in literature do so?

people are idiots who can't decenter their own fabulated subjectivity, can't imagine a world where everyone isn't "growing" and "developing" like they think themselves to be, even more can't imagine that maybe they have been psychologically static since mid-high school, can't look past their own insipid delusions of selfhood for once in their god damn useless cattle-lives.

That's a great fresh perspective. I usually call people sheep, or sheeple for a cheeky slice of slang. But cattle - that works too. Brilliant! xD

They don't need to. I like stories where the character keep his opinion on stuff or his personality, and even if it will cost him his life and he knows he should change, he still stays true to himself.
