People who still wear masks (and aren't immunocompromised)... - eviltoast

How long do you plan on wearing a mask for? Will it be for the rest of your life? What will change your view?

This isn’t meant to be inflammatory. There’s someone at work who wears one everyday and I’m too afraid to ask them.

    Same here, and I get weird dirty looks. I’ve heard of people getting verbally assaulted wearing them, my go-to line ready is “I’m sick, I didn’t want to get people like you sick, but if you don’t care…” starts to pull down mask

      The fact that there is a stigma in the first place is incredibly silly. Masks are a great tool to prevent getting others sick. It’s like if someone made fun of you for using a screwdriver instead of doing it by hand.

        Yup! It’s some kind of redneck macho moron thing with some of them. The same types who mock you for using an umbrella when it rains, or wearing a coat when it’s cold, etc.

      Imagine a society so fucked up they verbally assault someone for wearing a mask. How fucking barbaric do you have to be to do that?!? 😂
