Masks and the Women of ‘Mr. Robot’
When Darlene showed up at Elliot’s door on Mr. Robot wearing a very familiar mask in a flashback this season, the horror movie origin of the FSociety ‘mascot’ sheds some light on how deep routed their feelings against big corporation goes. Masks can shield identity and the FSociety plastic bearded look also resembles the Monopoly guy and Colonel Sanders. There is something very corporate and old money about this branding with a hint of Guy Fawkes for a dash of rebellion.
