I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing.  In [[Rorschach
(comics)]], the "Sexuality" section is mostly in-universe; though it
makes reference to "through the entire series", its main concern is
characterizing Rorschach as if he were real.  I'm not sure what the
"did Rorschach survive" section is.  In any case, the biggest problem
with the article is poor writing and presentation, not wacky original
research.  It attempts to unpack some of the possible meanings of the
fiction; I'd much rather see that than the sterile plot-summary-only
of the other extreme.
