    So for example if a writer has a first person perspective of a killer/rapist you wouldn’t make an association that the author is anything of the sort.

    That does happen all the time in movies, shows, books, and other forms of art. “What kind of a person would come up with that” isn’t an uncommon accusation.

      Sure but I think it is less immediate. In music we have to make a decision if they are speaking about themselves nonfiction or fiction and in a book or movie we assume they are creating fictional character.
