    Let this be a lesson to those who do not realize that there are real worldviews which people who write fiction are putting forth through their work be it books, movies, TV shows, etc.:

    “‘It feels like a character I created 30 years ago has somehow escaped the realm of fiction.’ ALAN MOORE, graphic novelist, on Occupy Wall Street protesters’ wearing the Guy Fawkes mask he popularized in V for Vendetta; Moore added that while writing in, he secretly hoped the ideas in the story would “actually make an impact.”
