Serious opinion: Anonymous are a bunch of people who have decided to imitate "V for vendetta", some initially started and others joined, clinging to the idea. Mostly people join to be part a group more powerful than themselves, however only a fool would mistake this as a sign of people clambering to a freedom otherwise suppressed by a totalitarian government. People enjoy the power and use it to wield against weaker individuals. Now teenagers and middle age office workers can put on a grumbly voice and a mask and claim they fight on ideal and principle. They don't represent the masses, they represent a collective. They will fight without faces because they are afraid, and how can anyone respect an enemy that hides.
In V for vendetta people put on masks to show unanimity, they show courage by being their in person, walking straight into the barrel of a gun.
Anonymous wear masks to hide, and show their cowardice by hiding behind computers.
To be fair to them, having an irl 4chan would be impossible. And they have done protests in real life as well, so they don't all hide behind their computers. The Guy Fawks Masks are so they remain anonymous.
On another note I really like 4Chan.
I think Oscar Wilde says it best "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." It's a place where you can be yourself, without having to have the restraints of normal social interactions, and a place like that is great sometimes.
