I randomly learned about the Tulsa Race Riots a couple years ago and was stunned. Can't believe we don't teach people about it. Well I can, but you know.
Was that first needle drop what passes for rap these days? Genre is dead*

I don't like that so far, Rorschach happily killed white folks if they had it coming. In fact I think he only killed whites iirc
Wouldn't be the first time crazies had co-opted and twisted a figure's legacy for evil , feels so topical tbh
Racist or some nut jobs taking the diary of Rorschach and twisting it to their needs is easily believable. He was always a nut job himself, though he believed in wrong and right to a fault.
That's the message they're trying to put out. Rorschach and his beliefs are being misconstrued and since he isn't alive no one is setting them straight.
It's honestly 100% what I expected to happen with Rorschach's journal.
How they're using Rorschach is a direct comparison to how the alt-right and certain police forces are taking the Punisher symbol despite Marvel not condoning that shit anyway.
Another pill. Nice callback.

We see racist assholes co-opting shit in real life and people are mad that Roshach journal is being twisted to fit the views of racist assholes?
This will confuse people even more:
The TV series is set in 2019, 34 years after the comic ends, but:
So, it is the same universe from the comics and it is set after it, but it is not really a sequel?
Maybe some parts of the original story will have changed? Like a completely new timeline? Same universe, but with different events?
I'm not mad, it's a fun and very realistic take
Just, I like Rorschach
(I know Alan Moore hates to hear that but then again he hates everything)
I'm surprised how many people say this, I grew up in the suburbs of Houston and a middle of the road school district and we absolutely covered the Tulsa Race Riots (multiple times actually, pretty sure we briefly touched on it in MS and went more in depth into it (and other related events) in HS.
Dr Manhattan couldn't produce any offspring, correct? I don't know why, but that scene with Veidt has me thinking about a possible reveal later on.
