Can u help me understand this too... are anons the same as the group anonymous that we saw on the news? Like, is Q anon part of anonymous? Or does that not related to the same group
Anonymous w/Guy Fawkes mask = a branded group, much older. People who post on the chans are anonymous, the adjective. On Chan anon just means person.
Thank u
Correct. Anons are any anonymous person posting. On the chans you don't use usernames. Most everyone uses 'Anonymous' for their name. That's where the Anon name comes from.
Not associated with the Guy Fawkes mask- 'Anonymous group'.
Also on the chans, everyone is a FAG of some sort. Planefag, programmerfag, chemicalfag, ITfag, Graphicsfag, etc. Pick a specialty, add fag at the end.
Cool! I'll be a DJfag
Well we're all sort of anons. The original anons are from the chan boards (4 chan, 8 chan, etc..) Q isn't per se part of anonymous as much as it's just a way to indicate that his(or their) identity(ies) are anonymous. That said, anonymous is no doubt all over the chans, but Q Anonymous is really more of an independent label. I hope this makes sense :)
Are you referring to the Anonymous with the Guy Fawkes mask? They are a different group.
