Honestly, my biggest issue with s8 and s9, is how out of character Sam was for most of the season. And the writers didn't even seem to realize it, nor did they get that Sam damn well needed to be redeemed for his behavior. It's like he was written by Sam bashers.
Though I'll admit that the fact that Sam fans don't even get just how badly Sam came off and keep coming up with excuses instead of dealing with canon, plays a big part in why I have less and less interest in Sam-centric fic
Honestly, the only way I'll accept evil Demon!Dean is if he gets overprotective of Sam to such a point that Sam is scared to go out because Dean might kill someone for being rude to Sam ;-)
I don't know, I'm just not as interested in King of hell fics that I've seen prompts for on the spn kink meme. Because I much prefer king of hell Sam. Even evil, Dean would still have that submissive side that's been a huge part of his character since s1. It's something I just don't see in Sam, who's been dominant or trying to gain control for as long as the show has been going.

I think that for me, the main difference is that evil Sam makes Sam more interesting because it allows him to explore new options. Whereas evil Dean makes Dean less interesting, because it limits him to the stereotypical anti-hero while removing his more, for lack of a better word, feminine, more sensitive side, that makes him more than a cliché to begin with.
