Okay, literally just went for a walk around the block with my wife, and two guys followed us home in the dark screaming at us to take our masks off because we’re “brainwashed,” demanding to know what we “are afraid of” and then as they got closer and louder yelling that actually we were scaring them.
It was surreal, and actually pretty terrifying. This hasn’t happened before, but we have both been told many times that we’re idiots for wearing them, or had people insult or mock us.
Like, it’s not enough to choose not to wear it, they also want to force us not to wear it, while also yelling about how it’s wrong for them to be forced to wear it??? Even though there are no restrictions here…
Thank you, yeah we got home safe and everything, just didn’t engage. I’m used to catcalls, and transphobic yells and stuff, but I’m sitting here more than an hour or so later and I still can’t really feel like it’s real. It’s such a weird reason to yell at a stranger, and then follow us? People are wild.
It’s weird that people feel the need to tell you to not wear a mask. Like, how does this person wearing a mask have an influence on you? Let that person wear a mask and walk on.

Made me think of this thread lol.
Disgusting that these types preach about free choice while physically threatening other people for no reason.
Good thing both of you were unharmed, with so many of these deranged dickheads walking about.
Jesus comrade, that’s terrible, what the fuck is wrong with people. Other people wearing masks doesn’t affect them AT ALL. Hope you both are okay.

Well a store employee was shot and killed in early 2020 for telling someone to wear a mask.
