Wow reading your comment I was literally about to ask how you feel about "Lost Girls" and then you mentioned it. Only learned about it today. I love Watchmen and Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, which is all the Moore I've read but damn.
I get what you're saying, but I never felt like Silk Spectre I's odd "being nostalgic about rape" thing was meant to say that women categorically love being raped. Then again, I never knew that was something that came up in other Moore works so I might have to kill the author to believe that I guess? I just, even as a highschool boy with bad attitudes about sex and women I didn't read it that way. I also think its a relatively small part of Watchmen and that so much of the rest of it is good and makes points that leftists should agree with that I can't understand casting out the entire work for it.
I also think that if I wasn't aware of Moore using this device frequently, that showing a woman having a different reaction and coping mechanism regarding her trauma isnt actually bad? Its fairly realistic actually because people react to trauma differently? Like me and my sister were both emotionally abused by my mom but have VERY different attitudes about her today, with her forgiving her and welcoming her back with open arms and me going no contact.
Also yeah, I categorically disagree with Snyder doing Wathcmen better because Snyder misunderstood Rorschach too much for that. And Rorschach is a much more important part of Watchmen than the rape of Sally Jupiter and Sally's attitude about it.

Well now I'm curious how you feel about Watchmen. I am mentally prepared to have one of my favorite things brutally criticized at this time.

It absolutely is not. Like everything else Snyder does it's fascist trash and he doesn't understand the point.

Well. that's certainly a take.
