As in V, form: V for Vendetta
And why the work as a whole doesn't, at least, to a degree support terrorism.

Hmm, you might have point there.And V for Vendetta doesn't condone terrorism. It's just a story. He's an anarchist revolutionary fighting against an authoritarian government in a dystopian future.
i don't think its supports terrorismHmm, you might have point there.
And I guess by my logic DmC would be supporting terrorism.
No.One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Enough said.
Oh I know that.i don't think its supports terrorism
but in the worlds of DmC and V for vendetta the people can't help themselves if they can't see there being controlled
so depending on how you want to look at it the terrorism is justified
even tho in DmC its allot more black and white good vs evil
where in V its all in a Gray area whether or not what V is doing is right
I'm not saying he is or isn't a terrorist. Rather that it's all a matter of perspective.No.
A freedom fighter can be a terrorist.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying V is a bad guy because he's terrorist.(And if I did I would be a hypocrite.)

He was committing crimes against a corrupt state that killed many of its own people and practically imprisoned the rest. Now we can be here all day arguing if his methods were right, (from a moral standpoint- obviously no) but you can't deny that a coup was necessary.
And so, the government obviously sees him as purely a terrorist, but the people he is empowering and liberating probably see him as a freedom fighter.
i'd say they object because Terrorist is term with allot of negative assumptions attracted to itOh I know that.
I just wanted to know why fans of the movie or novel, object so much to V being called a terrorist.
It's not a matter of perspective.
Terrorism:
Unless your using a different definition for the word, he is a terrorist.
- Involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
- Appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping.
Regardless of what he fights for or why he fights.

*sigh* Have you seriously never heard that quote before? That one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." It's a pretty well known quote. At least in the USA, it is. Not sure where you're from. Well either way, it's a famous quote.snip for space
Yeah, I just don't get that kind of mindset.i'd say they object because Terrorist is term with allot of negative assumptions attracted to it
I know that. Why are you telling me this?V is a terrorist by the definition of it, but the point is that the country sunk so low it is the only way to force change, or, that people have to die and be affected in the cause because there is no way to affect change peacefully.
Well it is a matter of perspective. If those acts of violence are committed against a certain population, then that population would view the one who committed the acts as a terrorist. To the "terrorist's" comrades, they would view him as a hero.It's not a matter of perspective.

Remember I made this thread for people to explain to me how V is not terrorist.
Primarily because so many people object to him being called as such.
MERICA!!!Not sure where you're from.
That isn't how it works though.the people in the movie he is liberating probably don't see him that way. So it is a matter of perspective.
And on that front, you did so perfectly.I'm simply explaining how/why other people would see it differently.
See my latest response.^Well it is a matter of perspective. If those acts of violence are committed against a certain population, then that population would view the one who committed the acts as a terrorist. To the "terrorist's" comrades, they would view him as a hero.
