Greetings!

On December 17, I suggested this picture for Movement Mascot on the Image Suggestion Thread.

"Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof."

User Sky Cat 32 did a Counter-suggestion.

And then another.

Here is the same picture in better quality.

The discussion is mostly to vote for which suggestion is more appropiate for the trope.

There are other suggestions in this article, "England’s Guy Fawkes unlikely face of global protest.

I prefer 1.4 because it shows how widespread it is

Maybe include two pictures, the first V for Vendetta (either the cover or a panel where he's doing/saying something rebellious) and the second showing its impact? As is, the protest pics don't make it obvious where the mask comes from.

That's a decent idea I guess, although I'm not overly familiar with the V for Vendetta comic to know from where the panel of him saying that comes from.

I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, I prefer 1.1 because of the sign being held; which hammers in the "movement" part best.

[up][up]I don't think it really matters what's on the signs; all that matters for the purpose of portraying this trope is that they're protesting something

Calling for 1.4; it's in and tagged. Caption? I think something riffing on V's very V-filled verse at his introduction would be apropos, but I've got nothing right now.

"Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof."

Outside of it, I don't there is an more appropiate quote.
