I would NOT like to have to write my fiction so that all characters and situations gave positive, (currently) politically correct, lessons to all readers - just in case the work became popular enough that someone might hold it up as providing poor examples to the community.
If Twilight had earned $500 of sales off Amazon no one would care what lessons it offered. Your deconstruction blog is an interesting way to analyse works such as Twilight and how they reflect what has become acceptable in society, but I do get uncomfortable when the phrasing (like that above) seems to suggest that the work or author is responsible for the way the book was received. (Oh, how we'd all love that!)
