This really is the #1 example. Because if you take 100 people and ask them who the good guy in Watchmen is, I guarantee the majority of them say Rorschach.
Moore wrote something beloved by millions, but sent the complete opposite message that he intended.
Just like Animal Farm. Orwell was a commie. A full blown socialist who fought for the bad guys in the Spanish civil war. What he thought he was doing was writing a critique of Stalinism and specifically only Stalinism. It was purely by accident that Animal Farm has arguments against leftist ideology as a whole.
Leftism has always been marked by both hypocrisy and a profound lack of self awareness.
Orwell would be hated by the modern left for his disdain towards authoritarian governments though. He was complex, whereas modern socialists are simpletons.
They do it every time they go all "not real socialism"
No, it's wasn't "purely by accident".
Orwell was a socialist but he never was a communist. The communists tried to kill him in Spain.
Animal Farm goes far beyond Stalinism. For example, the inspiration for these pups being taken away to be raised as vicious dogs? It was under Lenin, namely the Chekists of Dzierżyński recruiting orphan boys.
And Moore can never figure out why.
It's fucking hilarious.
