I see what you're saying, at least sort of, but I can't really see the problem. The last thing I want as a reader is a world where all books shy away from portraying the world, or a world, the way it all too often is; where all stories are *shudder* "motivational", have clear-cut happy endings and where evil always receives its just deserts.
Whether the evil, malice or brutality in a book emerges from something brewing in the dark recesses of the authors mind, or just from his or her imagination, is something I've never given a thought. Partly because it would be merely baseless supposition on my part and partly because it really isn't my business to know.
