    This weekend, antivaxers invaded San Diego Comic-Con wearing Guy Fawkes masks cosplaying V in V for Vendetta and spewing antivaccine misinformation. Why do they think geek culture is susceptible to their message? #SDCC #SDCC2019 https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/07/22/antivaxers-invade-comic-con/ …pic.twitter.com/KQgEM9nlcO

        Oh, geez. Josh Coleman, the "mastermind" behind the #SDCC protest has set up a new website to provide the resources and instructions to allow other antivaxers to pull off "V"-inspired "vaccine education" protests. 🤦‍♂️ #SDCC2019pic.twitter.com/Hd19wFEn1C

        They also hit Disneyland in full Star Wars cosplay in early June for the opening of the new Star Wars attraction.https://youtu.be/qE4NVCZkKPo

        I see they are still strategically cropping their photos to look bigger than they are.

        Retweeting, since I've got one foot in geek culture and the skeptics who also fit into that category may or may not know about this.

        Thanks! I always wondered about those masks. Never saw the movie but anti-vaxxers have NO valid points.

        Funny, they look like the loons from Westboro Baptist. Amplifying such a bogus message like that seems counterproductive (for them, IMO).

        Clearly they don’t know history. Guy Fawkes’ efforts were a failure. And the comic promotes anarchy, not enlightening. Dummies.

        Yep. V died a violent death. That's kind of what worries me, though. These antivaxers view themselves like V or other characters fighting losing battle against an evil totalitarian regime. It worries me that they will become violent—like V.
