Considering how many groups have taken on the V for Vendetta Guy Fawkes mask as one of their own symbols, that employee could have gotten fired for any number of reasons.

All of them valid, though.

Oh I wouldn't go that far. White supremacists use that symbol too.

i thought they meant all the firing reasons valid... until i read the username

I assumed the same as you, but I feel I am going to show my ignorance. What about the user name changed your mind?

Anonymous is a hacker group associated with the mask. At least that's the only thing I could come up with regarding the username.

Lol, "Tacos anonymous" is more likely a joking reference to "alcoholics anonymous" that to the hacker group

I feel like the only thing that will clear this out is if tacos anonymous clarifies wether or not they're racist

To be fair, it's also just the word for someone you don't have a name for.

Easy name to pick when you can't think of a username after dozens of "name already taken" prompts

Ah, I thought they meant the exact opposite. But I can see that now.

Which is wild because how anyone can read anything white supremacist out of something even based of an Alan Moore comic is wild.

They have almost certainly not read the comic. Probably didn't even see the film. It's like all of the cops who use Punisher logos because they're not aware that Frank Castle absolutely detests cops.

Only took them 3 minutes too! Must be a small company or the world's most effective HR department!

Maybe he shouted a very specific word, that one that begins with a N

Nincompoop?

I once got a temporary ban from one of the larger subreddits for calling someone a nincompoop. It was considered "abusive" language. At least that's what the mods said. I suspect it was more to do with me having an unpopular opinion though obviously I can't prove it.

I too hate Naturwissenschaft

My least favorite subject in the Danish equivalent of high school and one of the other classes was Latin!
