I'm still trying to figure out how Rorschach was "written,"

In the graphic novel, he was a psychopathic killer who was a massive conspiracy theorist who turned out to be right about most things (though obviously not in others).

He also basically said he wouldn't save leftist shitholes from being leftist shitholes, and that they deserved the consequences of their actions.

So...yeah.

But also he was one of the best characters because he had convictions, and stuck to them, even to the point of dying for it.

Worth noting, the graphic novel also had a giant eye ball tentacle monster as the thing Ozymandias did, not a bomb.
