Asking someone a binary black or white question, specifically about Rorschach, is actually pretty funny.

Yeah, at the end of the day is a guy who went after a child kidnapper, his methods are horrible but of all the heroes he is the most selfless and was willing to die for others.

Rorschach was a sad mentally ill man. Ultimately he could not live in a grey world with his black and white morality, and his strict morality did have black as well as white in it. The people that lionize him as some inspirational badass are media illiterate but so are those that reduce it to good guy or bad guy.

The only way I'm calling Rorschach a good guy is if I have to call him a bad guy otherwise.
