- ImprovedSilence 14y agoUh... I don't know about that, the movie was pretty famous/well viewed well before anonymous showed up. It was a big Hollywood production after all. Produced in the still trending vein of "lets make comic books into movies" fad.
- haukilup 14y agoIn the context of why a country would want to sensor the content, the fact that it was adopted by anonymous is very significant. Sure, it was a "big Hollywood production", but the use of the Guy Fawkes masks as representing anonymity is not something to brush off, nor overlook.
- Millennium 14y agoNot really. The people who refer to it as the "V mask" have it more or less right; this is about people who want to feel dark and edgy like a nineties anti-hero. Most of the people who use this symbol nowadays have little if any clue what Guy Fawkes did, and would likely be so horrified if they knew that they'd find another mask.
- illuminate 14y ago"It became famous thanks to internet movement" The internet movement revived its fame, it was a very successful comic and movie well-before Anon took up the mask for Chanology.
