I tried to see it. I really did. I used to view every one of my fandoms through slash goggles. I just can't do it with Rorschach. For as much as this pairing is accepted in the community, I just can't see it as anything other than a severely flawed and damaged friendship.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for a very long time in the start of the comics. Dan didn't even know how Rorschach had been doing. Dan had changed over the course of their separation. He'd forgotten how they did things when they were partners-- which translates to him forgetting how Rorschach did things, which is revisited later in the comics when Dan tells Rorschach the plot is "too big to be hardassed about" and that he needs to compromise.

I definitely see friendship there-- Dan is the only person Rorschach seems to consider a friend, or have any positive, personal connection to, but I don't think it's a very strong friendship. I think it might have been at one point, but not by the start of the comics.

idk though I seem to be in the minority.

All the more power to you.

Honestly, that's exactly how I feel about it too. For all the crap the fandom gives Dan for not going after Rorschach at the end of the comic, for all the people who insist Rorschach craves to be with Dan 24/7, for all the praise their friendship gets for being wonderful and close...I wonder how many have stepped back and examined the facts regarding it, especially after Rorschach lost it and their partnership began to wither away.

There's still a level of care there, arguably, but it's one that seldom lingers on either of their minds.

Actually, most of the fics I've read don't take place during the course of the comics. I'm pretty sure that everyone agrees that by the time the comics start, those two are back to square one in their friendship-thing.
