A troon doesn't understand why people are fond of one of the characters in Watchmen (niitter.net)

It's been a while, but according to the wiki synopsis, he mailed his journal before the event. Twitter troon wants to act like him wanting to tell the truth before the main event even occurred is him being a stubborn nutjob. So even that argument doesn't work.

Also, troon's argument comes down to nothing but 'author says bad,' which has no bearing on whether or not people like Rorschach.

Every character was written to dismantle the idea of what is a classic comic book superhero. That's the point of the book.
Showing that all of them are damaged & fucked up in so many ways

And yet troon is siding with all the other fucked up nutjobs against one other nutjob due to politics.

The other characters accept the bitter truth, Rorschach doesn't.

Yeah, and if he was portrayed as a leftist this would be praiseworthy. These people are usually the utopianists, but don't give a shit about principles. If Rorschach is a utopianist, at least it's out of principle.

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

Again, they hadn't died yet. Also, if everyone had convictions and stuck to them, things might be better. Emphasis on might, as plenty of people have shitty convictions too. But doing the right thing in spite of the circumstances is classic heroism. Who cares if "heroism has been dismantled so we're saying it's bad" or not, plenty of people still appreciate it.

The whole argument pisses me off, because it's poorly thought out, and inconsistent. Very, very classic leftwing argument style.

The other characters accept the bitter truth, Rorschach doesn't.

Bitter truth, leftists: Capitalism produces better results for people than communism. Bitter truth: Men and women are different, and can't become the other. Bitter truth: Trump was a better president than Biden. I could go on. Again, it's incredibly subjective, and just a gotcha.

Going with the flow is good if you're rightwing and cucking to your principles, but if you're leftwing there's nothing more important than standing up for your delusions, I suppose. Again, it's so stupid, and lacks any integrity or principle whatsoever. People like this troonatic are exactly why people appreciate Rorschach.
