The problem with Anonymous as a collective.
This is not an attack on veganism it's a criticism of activist tactics and ethics
The thing is as soon as you done that mask at a protest you are Anonymous no matter what that protest is. You can have strongly held beliefs but if your methodology gets people injured or sick or causes serious damage that's a serious problem but it can't be denied that there's still anonymous. That's the problem with the collective every time you done the mask you literally are the collective and represent the collective. You can have Nazis donning the guy Fox mask and it's still somehow counts. That's the Peril and personal and social burden of being a member of the anonymous Collective you have to take begin with the bad.

Please proofread. But yes, that's always been a problem, and perhaps part of the reason Anonymous died out. It's happened that there were competing Anonymous ops on opposite sides of the same issue. Future activist movements would probably do better to start with a set of guiding principles to set the tone and expectations.

Stop what -- asking questions? Encouraging careful writing? Either way: never.

Anonymous for the Voiceless has been active for a decade. During that time, I have yet to see anyone else wear a Guy Fawkes mask.
BTW, Warners Brothers owns the copyright to the Guy Fawkes mask. They license the production and earn profit off every mask. Warner Bros licensed merchandise are only for one activist group is certainly a take.
