Well both books were written to describe what british authoritarianism would look like.

Tap for spoilerHow long before we have a leak of the PM masturbating to state violence? Ugh V for Vandetta was so sexual in such an intentionally uncomfortable way

I don't remember a scene like that was it only in the comic?

I didn't watch the movie, but I can't imagine an American movie getting away with what the comic did. Yeah, one of the major themes of the comic is the fucked up sexuality displayed by the fascists and the leader gets off on the concentration camps.

Really good comic, but it's definitely a lot. Moore did a really good job of depicting the fascists as pathetic but dangerous. Though fair warning, if Moore could think of a slur a brit might possibly use it's in that comic.
