With commercial fiction you need to be careful to distinguish between the author and the characters. They may be writing to the market. It is not necessarily safe to assume the story reflects the author.
And yet what does it say about an author who panders to the worst element of the zeitgeist? It may be an honest buck, but not an honorable one.
