It's just super frustrating seeing people who are supposedly my brothers and sisters, who I've been there to the hilt, who know that my partner is struggling, who know that I'm terrified. We've gone through the science and racial and class inequalities together and they've voiced how they should mask a hundred times. And then they come to meet me IRL totally fucking unmasked, without even a fucking apology.
Well, if you're "back to normal", I'll sit and watch you eat outside, but I'm not taking my mask off in front of you. I'll wait till you finish your meal, and I'll head home early. If I've complained about no masking two times already, you heard it enough, I'm not going to complain again.
Am I overreacting?
Edit: for those of griping that you're not allowed to do COVID minimisation in this comm. These would be valid answer:
- Maybe your friend forgot
- Maybe your friend was tired
- Maybe your friend was hung over
- Your friend made a mistake but you should forgive him
- I'm not yet fully covid conscious, but I'm trying
- We can't all be perfect. Hopefully they do better next time.
Not acceptable:
- Oh here's a tidbit about masks that's been disproven in the science literature 10x already
- Oh the chuds and libs aren't masking, and I feel peer pressured
This lib take is kind of flirting with the rules of this comm I think.
If you feel that something violates the rules of this community, report it.
Fair, I was more so making it known to the poster that they may want to back off this hill. Too late tho, haha.
Sorry for all the work I'm making you do. And thanks for making this a safe community.
