 The Mask //(and the Guy Fawkes Mask it possessed)// continued being used as a convenient disguise by the /i/nsurgency and her allies through [[op:occupy|Occupy Wall Street]] in 2011. By this point, the Mask was solidified in the public consciousness as the face of Anonymous. Now, together with [[hazards:legion|Legion]], they basked like lizards in the light of the press and internet. Anyone could become Anonymous, and the Mask provided newcomers & outsiders with an **"icon"** that symbolized the [[anonymous:about#anonymous-is-an-idea|idea of Anonymous]]: A faceless, leaderless horde of individuals that could consist of literally anyone, banded together as an organized collective of decentralized independent cells, working to accomplish things bigger than themselves, with the egalitarian belief that no one member of Anonymous was of any greater or less significance than any other. The Mask //(and the Guy Fawkes Mask it possessed)// continued being used as a convenient disguise by the /i/nsurgency and her allies through [[op:occupy|Occupy Wall Street]] in 2011.

 By 2012, the heat came down and the [[hazards:fediverse#damage-assessment|/i/nsurgency was broken up]]. However, Legion and the idea of "Anonymous" pushed forward under new stewardship and more splinter communities, who continued to use the Guy Fawkes Mask for their own various illegal shenanigans. Just like those who came before them, these too were completely unaware that the Mask was Haunted. Since nobody ever challenged the Mask's psychic hegemony over the Guy Fawkes Mask and Anonymous, it has represented both of them ever since. To witnesses, the Mask now evokes feelings of nostalgia, sadness or terror, depending on who you ask and what their memory of the Mask consisted of. By 2012, the heat came down and the [[hazards:fediverse#damage-assessment|/i/nsurgency was broken up]].
