The other characters accept the bitter truth, Rorschach doesn't.
If you recall he shared his diary with the newspaper, info that will destroy the peace millions died for cos he can't let his convictions go, meaning possible annihilation for the world at the end of the story
"We should accept lies that kill millions of people and you're the bad guy for pointing it out" is a strikingly honest confession from this necromorph and exactly why they and their boosters are not acceptable in society.
Did Moore intend to portray the leaking of the journal as a villainous act? I know Rorshach was supposed to be a cautionary tale, everyone does. But did he actually think he was portraying his actions in the conclusion as evil?

That's up for the readers to decide, but that retard misses the point. Ozzy's plan is ultimately set to fail. As Manhattan pointed out to him: "nothing ever ends". The diary is presented as that element of inevitability.
What Moore was trying to say tho, is that a couple of men with power shouldn't decide the fate of innocent people. Not with a nuclear war nor by effectively nuking a city to prevent said war. If anything, Rorschach is presented as the escapegoat here, wich is really funny when you consider the metatext sorrounding the book...
It wasn’t until halfway through, that we realized that Rorschach would not survive the book,” said Moore. “It just became obvious. We realized that this was a character, if ever there was a character, who’s got a king-sized death wish. He was in pain, psychological pain, every moment of his life. And he wanted out of it, but with honor—in whatever his own twisted standards of honor might’ve been
Is the quote most msn/reddit seems to reference in regards to it being a villainous act.
The ending of the Watchman doesn't even make sense. Dr. Manhattan could have killed and martyred Ozymandias, covering up his crimes in the process. Zero thought was put into constructing that ending.
Drop his body on some rubble in New York, drop his lab in the sun. This is Dr. Manhattan we're talking about here. Why would he need Ozymandias for any reason?
You could not tell an enraged Dr. Manhattan to "stop and consider the following" after attempting to kill him three times in a row, this is a laughable assertion. Moore was so enthralled with his themes and shitty forced conclusion that he failed as a story teller.
And that sex scene, after millions just died. Good grief. What kind of tard does it take to write that?
What would be the point by then? Millions were already dead. Adding a dead Ozymandias wouldn't change that fact. The Soviets were already taking steps back to analyse the situation. Keeping Ozymandias alive allows him to attempt to cover up the flaws in his plan, as they come up. Killing him would just result in no gains, once the Soviets and Allies realized that there were no more forthcoming attacks from space monsters, and they'd be back to square one, without a Dr. Manhattan, who would have fucked off far away in space and could no longer be bothered to help humanity.
I agree with the sex scene being out of place, though. Showing them cuddling or something would have been enough to set the scene, and confirm to Manhattan that Laurie had moved on. Were it me, I strongly doubt that I'd have been in the mood for anything more.
You want to know what the point to executing a criminal is? To prevent him from doing wrong in the future. If he's so truly virtues, he will allow himself to be martyred, and wont fear death. He killed millions, this is responsibility that he should be willing to bear. The very fact that he is running for his life in a panic at the end, speaks of his bad intent. If it's a choice between Rorschach and Ozymandias, the guilty should die. You should have been able to figure this out yourself. This is ethics 101.

Couple men who are right leaning shouldn't decide the fate of innocent people

Isn't that about the "do it" scene, tho?
Yes.
