They like him because he’s basically the protagonist for most of the series. He’s the guy with a goal that he’s pursuing and it turns out his investigation isn’t insane, it’s bang on the money. Maybe it’s just that I’m living in a post-Dexter world, but it just seems so quaint that Moore thinks that Rorschach’s flaws were going to turn people off.

Even the whole “he smells and doesn’t have a girlfriend” doesn’t really make a lot of sense - those are ascetic values that most societies are trained to respect, at least on an abstract level.

It’s definitely supposed to be ambiguous. 2B and 9S have a death and sex thing going on.

I think it’s a comic book cover.

Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but this strikes me as a really, really bad idea. A bunch of conscripts led by guys who are desperate for a win and think Intelligence is “woke?”

It one thing to lob bombs from afar, it’s another thing entirely to actually stick your dick into the bear trap.
