Guy Fawkes masks had meaning before "cool mask from V for Vendetta" and "funny mask from 4chan"?

The Guy Fawkes mask everyone wears didn't even exist before V for Vendetta so uh yeah of course not. People just like to act cool and be all like 'I WORE/KNEW OF THEM BEFORE THEY GOT POPULAR'

the worst part is that the V mask literally makes no sense as a symbol for what 'anonymous' or whatever does.

Granted I am kinda fuzzy on both V For Vendetta and Anon, but how so? Both like to screw with things for a cause they believe is just.

I just looked at some pictures of what they are online, and I still don't know what an Ed Hardy shirt is. Was I supposed to have ever seen those before somewhere? They just look like Guns'N'Roses cover art.

And they both supposedly support 'anarchy'.

Granted I am kinda fuzzy on both V For Vendetta and Anon, but how so? Both like to screw with things for a cause they believe is just.

anon is just a giant group of nerds who screw with things thing for lulz with no actual cohesive set system of belief or goals....

while V is a revolutionary/terrorist anarchist who is fighting to overthrow a fascist government.


V is a man behind a mask with a mission that represents an idea. Anon is a collective that represents different things depending on who you ask that associates themselves with the group.

not to mention the hilarious fact that they are LITERALLY adopting a commercial, copyrighted symbol "lol"

The reason V/Guy Fawkes makes sense is that they both were revolutionary terrorists wishing to overthrow the current leadership due to it's perceived oppression. Anonymous is basically closer to being activists that occasionally use criminal methods than terrorist/revolutionaries.
