I can’t remember the exact name, but there’s a common process with ongoing characters where the writers find themselves making their toughest characters nicer over time.
Both Wolverine and Jack Reacher were presented as unapproachable loners at first, and both mellowed considerably over time.
Rorschach was ‘lucky’ because he got to die a noble death before being forced to become civilized.
He does have a rock solid sense of right and wrong
As long as it is not informed by the white supremacist tabloid he was reading. Did you miss the parts where we read his thoughts about gay people or welfare queens (dogwhistle for black people)?
To be fair, Rorschach has a few traits worth emulating. He does have a rock solid sense of right and wrong and uhhhh… Yeah no, that’s about it.
He’s also capable of backing his words up with actions. Although in the prison scene I guess the actions came first.
Pretty sure the “you’re locked in here with me” vibe. is what all the fanboys envision themselves as, but would never actually be to emulate.

I didn’t say I agreed with his sense of right or wrong. But it’s very solid.
But that’s a subjective quality.
The terrorists that flew airplanes into the Twin Towers also had a rock solid sense of right and wrong, but not in the direction that helped anyone.
So yeah, not an admirable quality in vacuum.
Rorschach died because he refused to go along with a scheme to hide the truth from people. That seems universally noble to me.
and a love of beans
Acutely relatable trait
