Everyone treats Papyrus as pure and perfect, probably because he treats Frisk/Player that way... I like to think he's a bit ignorant towards Sans and his situation. He does seems a little rude towards Sans in canon, in contrast of how fandom portays him to be super nice to everyone and everything living... Anyways, the reason we don't see Papyrus' flaws a lot is probably because he doesn't really have that important impact on whole story, we know he really wants to be a part of a Royal Guard, tries way too hard despite tbh being bad at what he's doing and still wants fame and recognition...

(And like Fix said, he indeed likes to hear things the way he wants)

Honestly, the reason Skelebros are so beloved buy fans is because of their charming personallities, but other than that, their backstories and the reason they act the way they act was never dug too deep into in canon...

But also it is Sans who shelters him from a truth a lot (and it was never explained why): he asks us to pretend we agree with him, just so Papyrus can feel good about himself and at "King Papyrus" ending lies about his friends deaths... In my opinion, that is very wrong as well. Even if he was a child, he needs to know and understand a painful reallity, at least a little bit...
