Watchmen (2019) S1 E1

a) Because I felt like writing it.

b) It’s a perversion of Rorschach’s line which has nothing to do with race, but the corruption of power and politics. They just rewrote it to suit their narrative all the while completely ignoring the real story.

“All the whores and politicians will look up and shout Save Us! and I’ll look down and whisper No!” is the real line. Theirs is not a reference. It’s spitting in the face of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

c) Better than you that’s for sure.

d) Oh no, the lines between hero and villain have been clearly drawn, and are entirely based upon skin color. Which is what most (sane) people would call racist although in clown world where you’re living it’s probably nothing worth mentioning.

“I gave them some notes on the screenplay for the first one. I got to see the pilot when I was out in Los Angeles and the writers asked me all sorts of questions to fill in the background. Some of my artwork will show up at various times. I’m really enjoying it. I’m really happy with it. They’re so respectful of the original material. They want to make it as good as they possibly can. It’s really exciting.” - Dave Gibbons
“I wanted to make this like, ‘Yeah, this is what Batman would be in the real world,’” he said in a 2008 interview. “But I had forgotten that actually to a lot of comic fans that smelling, not having girlfriend—these are actually kind of heroic. So actually, sort of, Rorschach became the most popular character in Watchmen. I meant him to be a bad example, but I have people come up to me in the street saying, ‘I am Rorschach! That is my story!’ And I’ll be thinking, ‘Yeah, great, can you just keep away from me and never come anywhere near me again as long as I live?’” - Alan Moore

“I put him in the same kind of bag as Hitler and Margaret Thatcher—you might not like them but you can’t deny that there’s something very attractive about someone who has no grey areas.” - Dave Gibbons

I’m sure the creators appreciate you defending your own view on the character and pretending it’s theirs.
