azren posted:It also just generally references (and apparently subverts) the way movies and games frequently have the Bad Guys all wearing helmets that obscure the face and/or completely identical uniforms (like Starwars' Stormtroopers, for instance), thus dehumanizing the enemy because they become nameless, faceless, copy/paste soldiers. This has been used in a lot throughout history. For example:  A rather famous art piece, I know, but it shows off the theme of humanizing the hero as being both an individual and a martyr, while dehumanizing the villains (the french soldiers) by hiding their faces. Each civilian is clearly distinct from one another, but the soldiers mercilessly killing them all appear to be a collective group with no face and no humanity.
