Haha, just curious, what do you have against the V mask?

My problem with it is it makes no seeeeeeense. Guy Fawkes was not a symbol of anarchy, he hated Parliament because it wasn't Catholic enough for him. THAT IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE PEOPLE WHO WEAR IT NOW WANT.

Exactly. Though it drives me up a wall that people point at the movie and ignore the book, which was amazing.

Haha, true. I think it is more in the spirit of V for Vendetta, though, where it is a futuristic dystopian totalitarian society that V is fighting against (and in the end everyone else shows up to be, too). Well, that and combined with the fact that Epic Fail Guy (Encyclopedia Dramatica link) was at the peak of his popularity on 4chan right before the Scientology protests, it became sort of a tribute to internet-residency while also providing anonymity (sort of like it did in the movie) since Scientologists were known for tracking people down and attacking them in their private lives.

But as for V's choice to use it... I can agree, haha. Although being American I must admit I don't have much background on Guy Fawkes Day or anything, and I haven't read the original V for Vendetta comic, either. =/ (I suppose I did know a little more about Guy Fawkes than your average American kid, though, thanks to a Pink Panther computer game! Hehe)

Yeah, the fact that it's inspired by a freaking Allan Moore movie makes it even less appealing to me.

There is an element to Occupation, Inc. that I could see you disliking.

Guy Fawkes is definitely not a good role model for a non-violent group.

idk, the mask thing seems like nitpicking next to the fact that they just took down a bunch of kiddie porn sites, tbh. who cares?

I think it did stem from a need for anonymity originally though, with the Scientology protests I know there was the risk of being harrassed at home and such. =/
