A message cannot be immoral? How about a message promoting racism or fascism?
A message is just words. The writer's intent may be immoral, The reader's reaction may be immoral but the words cannot be immoral as they either consist of sounds or letters

You keep throwing this argument at me. We were talking here strictly about your proposed 'perfectly moral' person and what it could or could not do.
And I say again, the 'moral person' may not choose to analyse the work in such a way. And there is no requirement for them to do so.
