I don't like Rorschach.

There, I said it.

I know he's the flagship character and everyone's favorite, and I'm not trying to be a purposeful contrarian, I just don't like the guy.

The thing that bothers me most is that because he's so black and white (heh), he eventually has to create gaps in his analysis so that he doesn't break his philosophical views. The fact that he calls the Comedian's attempted rape of Silk Spectre a "moral lapse" is deplorable to me.

We wouldn't get along, I guess is what I'm saying.
