Wealth inequality inspired the Occupy movement. V for Vendetta just had a conveniently thematically-similar visual motif that was simple enough to gain wide adoption.

Inspired the Occupy movement to adopt it as a symbol. I'm not saying the movement happened because of it.
More to the point, I'm replying to "Joker IRL" because that sequence in the Joker movie was directly lifted from the comic V for Vendetta.

which was pretty stupid though, I remember when some banker came down to speak to a protestor about what they actually hoped to achieve and it went about as well as expected.
