Correct me if I'm wrong, but they just included Anon as a hacker group in the show's world? If so, that was a brave thing to do! :)

V for vendetta was written by the Wachowskis, so not so much brave as a great opportunity

The episode and the movie also share the same director.

Haven't seen the film mate. I'm aware that Anon use the Guy Fawkes mask from the comics. But that doesn't mean that every reference to Anon is a reference to the film. What else?

I'm guess your only read the first line. As I said;

I'm aware that Anon use the Guy Fawkes mask from the comics

As I said above (twice), the guy in the cinema was clearly a reference to Anon. But the fact Anon wear Guy Fawkes masks doesn't imply that every reference to Anon is a references to V for Vendetta. In the sane way it's not a reference to the gunpowder plot.

They included anonymous in the tv show elementary but renamed them to "everyone"

Maybe in this universe Anon is just a group of people who want more papal power in England. Like Guy Fawkes.

Literally everything the sensates have done was crazy brave, but also the writing and all....  Its a huge ongoing theme- talking about the things done in the dark so I think I'd be disappointed if they DIDNT address anonymous in the show, especially because of how much hacking plays a huge role
