Let's see, pre-pandemic who wore a type of face mask for some or all of their work? Surgeons & other medical staff, industrial painters, soldiers in the desert, special forces types throwing flash bangs about, semiconductor fabrication workers, clean room engineers, microbiologists, police forensic officers, asbestos removal guys, fighter pilots, divers, zoologists, some parts of the food preparation industry and so on. So by and large millions of pretty good jobs have always required mask/PPE wearing or else you can't do them full stop.
Now in fiction who wears masks? Superheroes, bandits, attendees at aristocratic sex parties, comedic wrestlers, citizens living in a polluted post-apocalyptic big city hellscape...
Over the past couple of years mask-wearing was also a big thing is protest movements - wearing a mask makes it harder for the facial recognition spooks to identify you.
So where the hell did all this 'masks are for pussies', 'masks are a sign of deference to authority' nonsense come from when only 18 months ago they were a symbol of fighting the oppressive state in places like China?
Am thinking the memes were manufactured by the usual crowd building on their Colin Kaepernick attacks. Remember how the guy was kneeling as a simple gesture of solidarity and the right turned it into 'I will not take the knee' rants like they were in Game of Thrones or some shit? Yeah. Is that.
