I hope you think that way about mystery writers (all that murder! Kidnapping! Horrible, terrible things!), too. And horror writers.

I don't remotely agree with OP, but this^ is a very illogical argument, and the frequency with which it is repeated is not making it less so.

The moment I find myself reading a novel and the narrative (not the narrator, but the narrative itself) seems to be taking a "Murder is good! Murder is arousing! Murder is romantic!" attitude, I'm am so done. Ditto kidnapping and all those other "horrible, terrible things." The narrative isn't reprehensible specifically because it depicts those horrible, terrible things as being horrible and terrible. If it depicted them as things that are romantic, arousing, and good to do, that would be all kinds of fucked up. Like, congratulations, your narrative is now coming to you direct from the brain of Patrick Bateman.
