It's still interactive fiction. It's still people sitting/standing around and playing pretend, whether they're crafting intricate backstories or figuring out the best way to defeat that boss. The characters they play still have absolutely no bearing on who they are as people and whether or not they're inherently trustworthy, because the fundamental truth of every single roleplaying game is that it isn't real. It's a codified way of playing cops and robbers, done entirely for fun.

Or, to use your analogy, it is no more reasonable to consider an actor playing a serial killer fundamentally untrustworthy than it is to make that judgement of the scriptwriter who wrote the lines for that serial killer.

It sounds like secret OP has been playing with douchebags, but the problem isn't that they're playing evil characters, it's that they're douchebags. They'd still be douchebags if they were playing paladins.
