* Britain under Norsefire isn't shown so much as of a [[CrapsackWorld post-nuclear hellhole]] ruled by a WellIntentionedExtremist (as in the visual novel), but rather a [[CrapsaccharineWorld seemingly prosperous and vibrant place]] with really nasty things [[SecretPolice swept under the rug]] which for some is even more frightening, as it's '''closer to reality'''.

* The police listening in right before V kills the bishop know that he's a child molester. Not only do they not do anything about it, they actually laugh.

* The possible ([[spoiler:but luckily averted]]) fate of Evey at the beginning of the novel/movie. Particularly in the film, where the Fingermen are going to rape [[DisproportionateRetribution (and allegedly murder)]] her for just literally being in the wrong place [[FascistsBedTime at the wrong time]].
