Oh, yes. Evil could never be seen to triumph (though it could have triumphed offstage, before the events of the presented fiction or game adventure). Not delving into chicanery meant no adult clashing philosophies, politics beyond "the shout and the sword," and so on.

I once suggested a fiction subplot about propaganda: a ruler spreading falsehoods against a powerful noble family to make the public turn against them. The editors were HORRIFIED. Absolutely not! But carving someone up while feasting with them? That was just fine.
