#do not let him walk away from Antartica with his decision making faculties intact

[artbyblastweave]

Getting a T Shirt made that says “RORSCHACH WAS RIGHT*

(small print) 

*ABOUT NOT LETTING OZYMANDIAS OFF THE HOOK FOR THE SQUID THING WHEN IT WAS SUCH AN OBVIOUSLY FLIMSY, CONCIETED  AND DIFFICULT-TO-SUSTAIN-OVER-THE-LONG-HALL PLAN COOKED UP BY A SINGLE EGOMANIAC WITH ABSOLUTELY NO OVERSIGHT OR PEER REVIEW, NOT ABOUT THE WEIRD TRAD STUFF*

(and then on the back)

*ALTHOUGH ITS TEXTUALLY UNCLEAR IF RORSCHACH HIMSELF IS OR WAS EVEN PSYCHOLOGICALLY CAPABLE OF NOTICING THE LOGISTICAL OR LOGICAL HOLES IN THE PLAN THAT WOULD CONVENIENTLY OBVIATE THE UTILITARIAN ARGUMENT TOWARDS SILENCE; HE APPROACHES IT AS THOUGH THE GIVEN DICHOTOMY WITH WHICH HE IS PRESENTED, UTILITARIAN-DRIVEN SILENCE OR DEONTOLOGICALLY-MOTIVATED APOCALYPSE, IS IN FACT AIRTIGHT, AND HIS SUICIDE IS MOTIVATED BY THIS; IT IS CONCIEVABLE THAT WITH A MOMENT TO THINK, HE MIGHT NOTICE THE HOLES IN THE UTILITARIAN ARGUMENT AS PRESENTED, BUT FEEL THAT ARGUING ON THE BASIS OF THOSE HOLES, RATHER THAN FROM PURE UNCOMPROMISING RETRIBUTIVE DEONTOLOGY, IMPLICITLY LENDS UNDUE CREDENCE TO THE UTILITARIAN LOGIC OF HIS ENEMY, AND INDEED IMPLICITLY CEDES THE ARGUMENT ALTHOGETHER SHOULD OZYMANDIAS PLAUSIBLY ADDRESS ISSUES OF SUSTAINABILITY AND PERSONAL BIAS: HE MIGHT PLAUSIBLY FIND THIS AN EVEN WORSE COMPROMISE OF HIS PRINCIPLES AND BEHAVE EXACTLY AS HE DID IN CANON.

The shirt is gonna have a weird cut but so did the movie

#watchmen #rorshach #anyway I do basically sympathize with him a lot more than I think Alan Moore wanted me to vis a vis the squid issue specifically #and fall in lock step with the conventional Volley of Rorshach Criticisms otherwise #Guys #you have absolutely no insurance against whatever fuckery Adrian tries next #he's proven at a baseline that there's no amount of violence he won't do if he unilaterally decides that it's ethical to do it #granted the rest of you also prove that every single day #but you're a bunch of homeless fugitives and he's a genocidal billionaire #do not let him walk away from Antartica with his decision making faculties intact #thoughts #meta #comic books
