God knows, at a guess I would say some kind of rebelion against the whole Scientology thing. Im from N.I so we dont have the Guy Fawkes holiday bombfire thing like the Main Land UK Does.
cause she has pink hair i go straight to thinking shes asian
is that wrong?
let me rephrase that last post a while ago
this was my favorite movie for a long time
but smoking aces tied it.

you know
V makes me think
Aces doesnt
thoughtful and mindless entertainment
yaknow?
In the movie lots of people wearing V masks stood up to an oppressive regime and overwhelmed them. Which I think is the point of the masks.
Plus they are distinctive, hide your identity, and are easy to get. Wearing ski masks or handkerchiefs would make you look like a terrorist or gang member.
4chan users are also referred to as Anonymous (with the capital A). This is because most users post anonymously rather than using a name. But the whole of 4chan users are known as Anonymous or Anon.
The Guy Fawkes mask is probably in reference to this guy, and not V or Guy Fawkes himself. EFG is Anon’s mascot if you will.
Or you could have lurked moar. Rules 1 and 2 are for fags by the way.

According to a recent joint study between MIT, Yale, and Oxford University chicks with pink hair are twice as likely to give you a handy in a public bathroom.
In my personal opinion, I always felt that anonymous itself was a fan of “V for Vendetta” because the premise of the movie about “Anarchism (as a real political philosophy) vs. Facism”.
People go to Anonymous websites because they want to be free of the constraints of conversational etiquette that comes from having your name attached to what you say. At these websites, you can post and say whatever you want. You are free to be who you’re always told not to be, because there are no consequences for what you say. The anonymity gives you enormous personal freedom in that sense.
So Anonymous itself tends to be made up of people who are strong proponents of the “Personal freedom” loving political philosophy.
I think this is also evidenced by the fact that there’s a strong libertarian following in the group at least there was before Ron Paul stepped down)
Right now, IRL there is no mainstream political party that’s closer to those beliefs than Libertarians.
And when you really look at it like that, No political philosophy loves individual freedoms moar than anarchism.
Anonymous loves V for Vendetta because that movie is about showing that personal freedoms are moar powerful and important than government control. Something most anon agree with.
It certainly gets moar complex, especially when you throw in the idea of EFG.
EFG is an almaglam of the various ideas of anonymous. He doesn’t really represent political philosophy the way V does, so he’s moar of a comedic mascot.
I don’t think people wore those masks during the protests because they wanted to look like EFG, they wore them to recognize one another, and to show unity with their /b/rothers for their like minded ideals of personal freedom.
i don’t get the Guy Fawkes/Anonymous connection.
anyone want to enlighten me?

@... nirvananine, your link is fail.
the link works, but the question posed was what is the connection between Anonymous and the Guy Fawkes mask…
Well its simple: Both sides are just fads, so one side made up a new fad to use in their combat against the other fad.
Also, it helps with the whole idea of ‘Anonymous.’ You can wear other masks, but then you’ll look individual, which is of course, NOT anonymous.
#8 is stupid. but #9 makes sense.
methinks there is more to it?

/my 2 cents
EFG. There. It’s just a way for anonymous to recognize eachother with a familiar face. So EFG was chosen.
