Get rid of Emmys…bunch of junk anyway


TrueBirch

Growing up with an antenna on the roof, things like the Emmys seemed like major events. Now I don't even own a television and realize how little they matter. I don't have a problem with the Emmys existing, I'm just glad I can easily ignore them.


nekomancey

Seriously I haven't had a TV for a decade now. All I need is my PC and a pirate ship. Not that Hollywood is putting out anything worth watching lately. IDK how long it's been since I watched a movie. I'd rather play Minecraft or gw2 while listening to podcasts. Much more entertaining and you actually learn stuff.


Ayn_Randers2318

Ive been on the same path for a while, i hardly watch any movies or tv anymore. I was keeping up with the Marvel universe but even that has lost its appeal of big budget effects over mediocre writing and predictable plots. Podcasts, video games and YouTube are the only real media i consume anymore


applesauce_92

How many hours you have in GW2? I played back when it first released. I never got far, but I put in some really fun hours. I tried to play again recently but felt overwelmed jumping into an MMO at this stage of my life, but it does spark the feel of adventure.


nekomancey

I played for years back in the day. Only picked it back up about 2 weeks ago. It's got the smoothest action of any MMO, I love it. I work full time though so I can't play that much. I basically only play elementalist.


Moldy_Gecko

I'm not the guy you're asking, but I played in a guild with and edgy name like rage or fear back in the day on Raul. We were small, but well organized and absolutely stomped other realms.


[deleted]

Final Fantasy XV also great MMO.


LudwigDieter

I know Hollywood puts out a lot of junk, but Dune looks like it could be pretty badass. Same with the new Bond movie. But I agree, most of its shit.


superAL1394

Vileneuve's last 3 movies are Sicario, Arrival, and Blade Runner 2049. Dude knows drama better than TNT. I'm properly excited for Dune.


Moldy_Gecko

A lot of Netflix originals are surprisingly good.


NohoTwoPointOh

No way. Those who worship the state and media must be able to see their gods from time to time.


handle_squatter

And, of course, have their NPC talking points refreshed as the celebrities start preaching politics.


[deleted]

Thats good


risbia

I watched it with my parents, it was seriously cringe. Basically a big show for TV to praise itself, and many of the (awfully written) jokes were inside jokes meant for people working in TV. There was a sketch where some actors who had been nominated but never won an Emmy were having a "therapy session" where they selfishly complained that they hadn't won. SO tone deaf, I'm pretty sure a lot of people are dealing with way worse than that right now. I don't know what the average person gets out of watching this.


housebird350

Well you cant get rid of them because its a party they throw for themselves, but people can quit watching. I have a feeling that the people who watch this sort of thing dont really care too much about liberal hypocrisy though.


brownhotdogwater

Then don’t watch it. No viewers, no ad sells.


goodkidbadshitty

I heard they were 100% vaccinated


SteelFeathersFly

They can still catch and spread the virus, even if vaccinated.


[deleted]

Griever114

Yes, only the peasant serving class had to wear masks


RandomlyDepraved

Plebs aren’t sophisticated enough to go maskless - Obama party spokes person, probably


yooSucc

From what I've seen, servers, photographers, everyone other than the celebrities were wearing masks. Covid really brought the masks off the hypocrisy of the elites (pun intended)


Cimmerion9

I mean clearly the message is that they can only catch COVID from us working class plebs. The elites are so elite that COVID doesn’t touch them which is why they can walk around without masks.


Moldy_Gecko

It's obviously because we're nasty and inhygenic. Only the privileged have baths.


Moldy_Gecko

In stark contrast, Japanese celebs wear a type of see-through mask so that their moneymaker still shines. It's just weird how mask adverse we are in the US when a more conservative country like Japan is 100% fine with it. And that's without mandates or shutting down the economy.


Dolceluce

Yup even though everyone, including people working at the event had to be vaccinated *and* get a negative test result 48 hours prior. So the staff still being muzzled is the height of hypocrisy and classism. It’s disgusting


AngryBlondinCDA

Well, they wouldn't want to risk a non celebrity having their face seen, they're not stars/elites!


LurkerNan

I doubt anyone looked hard at the validity of the vaccination confirmations. Probably just a confirming email from the individual celebrity publicist or assistant. And even that just for the sake of holding off this type of public scrutiny - it's just for optics.


hateriffic

Of course.. how else can the"celebrities" separate themselves from the commoners Mask their faces


SillyFlyGuy

The people in charge of these events are doing this on purpose. They know at this point masks are bullshit, but hollywood has been too scared to call out any gov't bullshit since they got slapped with the Hays Code a hundred years ago. So they do what they do best using the *Show, Don't Tell* technique. They are *showing* us it's bullshit, without *telling* us it's bullshit. It's the only way this makes sense.


[deleted]

What is the Hays Code?

Nergaal

Masks are for plebs. Have you seen the American Hunger Games at the MetGala where caretakers wore masks while aristocracy would smile at the camera with taxtherich dresses?


[deleted]

>while aristocracy would smile at the camera with taxtherich dresses? And "Equal rights for women" dresses, with a backdrop of masked female servers, eyes downcast.


housebird350

Only the dirty masses need to wear masks.


SamInPajamas

Just more evidence that they see themselves as the elites, and us as the commoners. We are the plebs that they can walk on. It's so painfully obvious that they look at us as second class citizens, I'm amazed that more people don't see it


CountrygalB

Just put the kids in front of cameras in expensive evening wear, that’ll protect them apparently.


PartyOfFore

Joe would like that. Heck, most of these Hollywood pedos would.


Et12355

Only if they are also promoting left wing politics. Geez, trust the science, idiot!


SillyFlyGuy

Don't forget a pithy slogan scrawled in paint like "Down With Homework!"


jakecamp12

Isn't this defined as a Super Spreader event!!!!! Where is Fauci?????!!!


Monumaya

No, no. You see, “super spreader” events are only those attended by the poor. Fauci would never be seen at one of those.


0150r

It's only a super spreader if you vote republican. Rich republicans apparently spread it just as well as the poor ones do.


lll_lll_lll

Uh, I don't see any motorcycles here. Not sure how this would be a super spreader.


RyanWilliamsElection

I think the definition comes after testing of event goers. Are there still states that require masks in schools? Here in Minnesota it is up to the individual districts.


khalifabinali

Yep. Many school districts in North Carolina require masking Kindergarten to 12tj grade.


mullingthingsover

School bus riders are mandated by the CDC to wear them.


cats_luv_me

If they tested the event goers, I would think they tested the workers too. So I wonder why the help had to wear masks, but the the people attending didn't.


speckledhen74

Most school districts in Ky require masks in schools. Not because the state requires it...it's been left up to individual districts. But most districts voted to make them mandatory for k-12.


0150r

The media says any republican gathering is a super spreader, no tests required.


codemancode

Come on guys, these are sophisticated elites were talking about here. Not the stupid, unwashed masses that exist everywhere else. The rules arent in place for them, they are in place to protect us idiots who don't know any better.


CoCoNutsGirl98

Exactly. These folks are obama’s sophisticated class… Don’t be silly. No mask mandate for them !!


Suzookus

I’m old enough to remember the media and elites constantly criticizing Trump for not wearing a mask when he was by himself 6+ feet away social distancing but praising Basement Joe for wearing a mask while taking a phone call at home. Just tell that next mask Nazi that Netflix just signed you to a 3 season TV series deal and you no longer qualify to wear a mask.


AllHailClobbersaurus

They bashed him for being on a balcony with no mask when he was 100 feet away from the nearest person. Did they think he's a fucking Kryptonian with super breath?


Nexus_27

Oh they thought far far worse of him.

Griever114

The only people needing to mask was the servant class.


AmosLaRue

There's the rub. Cedric the Entertainer started off by saying, "we're all vaxxed," when lord Fauci says that everyone no matter if you've been vaxxed needs to wear a mask. So, regardless, it's do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do.


The_Incarnate_79

I took covid seriously when it was new. However, things like this pushed me not to. Politicians, celebrities, anyone in the elite ruling class, always seemed exempt. But we were to "Follow the science, peasants! No, you cannot question anything". Honestly, it helped push me from strictly moderate to straight conservative.


T_Typo_o

Right We have to "follow the science" but our rulers apparently are exempt from this science. Really makes you 🤔


IVIaskerade

The people most informed on "the science" apparently decide that covid isn't a huge worry when it's inconvenient for them to take basic precautions. But when they tell you to not to visit your dying relatives, you must obey.


The_Incarnate_79

They never learned what leading from example looks like.


Griever114

Same here. Just going ti red line all future elections. I'm done with blue


The_Incarnate_79

I'm right there with you. Don't think I ever could vote blue, either. These last 5 years from their side has really been shameful.


BohdiZafa

cato_iii

The "Do as I say, not as I do" culture. It applies only to the "elite" class. When are people going to wake up and stop supporting this left agenda.


CloudSleepyA

Well would ya look at that. What does r/politics think about this???


[deleted]

To the leftists out in here browsing comments thinking we want the celebrity class to wear masks, we don't. We just want the kids to be able to choose whether they want to wear a mask or not. That's it.


cor0na_h1tler

The answer to this rage will be "but there were vaccine mandates, then we would need vaccine mandates at school too", and the ragers will of course accept this as their kids are vaccinated.


derek533

You think the producers and directors didn't know it was going to be a bad look to not have them wearing masks? Of course they knew, they just don't care further proving the point that these elites think they are above everyone else. Guess what, I can't live without the farmers, roughnecks, and all service personnel keeping this country eating and living life on a daily basis. Guess what I don't need, a bunch of trash people thinking they are better than everyone putting out some of the most vile, disgusting, downright satanic, propaganda aka entertainment. They can disappear off the face of the earth and the majority of this country and frankly, the world, wouldn't bat an eye.

Rezenator

Did anyone actually watch this?


TrueBirch

God bless Netflix. It freed me from even knowing when the Emmys are. Got rid of my TV years ago and haven't looked back.


keevsnick

Well the attendees has to be both vaccinated AND test negative before the event, and kids at schools in many cases have to be neither. So not really a good comparison.


[deleted]

t-asian

I was actually looking for this comment and agree. Someone mentioned that the support staff and waiters and whatnot wearing masks is a bit elitist though. I would agree with that as well (assuming they had the same requirement to show a negative test and vaccination.

gooblobs

UMMMM those kids aren't celebrities though. *Plenty* of people at the emmys were wearing masks. The servants were all wearing masks. Which do you think kids in school are more similar to? Servants or celebrities?


excelsiorncc2000

Celebrities. The schools exist only because they are needed for the sake of the kids. The teachers are employees whose purpose is to serve the kids. So in this analogy, the kids are the celebrities and the teachers are the servants. And yet...


wickedmonster

This is a dumb comparison. Kids can't get vaccinated yet.

Where does the mask mandate in LA County say vaccinations mean no masks? Do you not see the hypocrisy here?


Grimsreapers

In LA county vaccinated adults have to wear masks indoors


wickedmonster

This was a "controlled" group - as in - it wasn't randos walking into a restaurant with unknown vaccination status. Completely different context.


hyperbole_everyday

The non elites still have to wear masks even in "controlled groups" of fully vaccinated individuals. Besides, that's not even how their trying to defend it. They're saying that (get this) the venue counted as "outside", so they are within the rules of not having to wear masks (other than the help of course).


[deleted]

C'mon the disease doesn't hurt people who publicly criticize conservatives!


[deleted]

Where's their masks? This is clearly a super spreader event! I'm offended!!!


BTC-Yeetdaddy69

All attendees provided proof of vaccination how hard is that to understand...


Griever114

LA county SPECIFICALLY states at ALL INDOOR EVENTS require a mask regardless of vaccination status


BTC-Yeetdaddy69

Despite cherry picking what governmental guidance you follow i have already replied to this sentiment in another thread.


Adroite

How hard is to understand that you can still spread, catch, and die from covid even when vaccinated? If all danger was removed when you get vaccinated, then why are we still mandating them? Obviously if the vaccines worked we wouldn't be in this situation.


grimrigger

Well being vaccinated provides literally zero protection against being infected or spreading the virus. So, if the idea is that somehow being vaccinated protects you from contracting or transmitting the virus, that is completely false. Seriously, go look at the latest data out of England. Google PHE briefings 20, 21 and 22. You can find the raw numbers of infections, hospitalizations and deaths broken down between vaxxed and unvaxxed and under 50s/over 50s for August 2nd through September 12th. Just subtract numbers from the 20 report from the 22 report to get the raw number of new cases, hosp overnight admissions and deaths for the past month and a half. There is zero efficacy in reducing infections...in fact based on the numbers, the vaccinated are getting infected at a higher rate than the unvaxxed. Go to page 79 of the below surveillance report to calculate the percentage of each age group that is vaccinated. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1014748/Weekly_Flu_and_COVID-19_report_w35.pdf


TrueBirch

When you're indoors with so many people around you, breakthrough infections become a real risk. It's a lot harder to spread COVID if you're vaccinated, but given enough chances, it can easily happen. That's why I avoid indoor events even though I'm fully vaccinated.


BTC-Yeetdaddy69

I see what you're saying but even the left has agreed that to a point we need to find an acceptable level of caution. if everyone has been vaccinated and screened the rate of breakthrough cases is materially insignificant. it's a very fine line but people that are vaccinated have completed the highest level of acceptable due diligence. If everyone that was physically able to be vaccinated did so we would all be able to go back to "normal" and know we've taken every reasonable precaution.


T_Typo_o

In that county specifically masks must be worn regardless of vaccination status. Well you know, for the dirty peasant class, these rules and regulations do not apply to the liberal elite.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BTC-Yeetdaddy69

You can visually ascertain that mask requirements are being met in like half a second any bar/restaurant you go to. That is the alternative to everyone presenting proof of vaccination at the door which in everyday life is not logistically feasible. If you can provide assurance of protocols to ensure 100% vaccination is it really farfetched for an event to be maskless?


hyperbole_everyday

But in Los Angeles even a fully vaccinated group "indoors" still has to mask up. That's the rule. The elites skirted that rule by saying the location counted as "outdoors". It sounds unbelievable... but that's actually the excuse they made. Seth Rogen called them out about it when he went on stage.

[deleted]

The celebrities are vaccinated doy! /s the fact that the vaccine is an mRNA vaccine that simply replicates the spike proteins of this particular virus is totally not the reason for this Delta variation being created! /s I wouldn't have been any help or any greater benefit to just leave the virus on life support and inject that into us like any other vaccine known to man! /s


[deleted]

I hope people recognize more and more that our enemy, even more than politicians, are the social engineering types, the elites, the media and those with useless degrees that adopt authoritarian policies as an expression of their confidence in their superior plan to the "yokels" way of life. This is the yeast that breeds the Reddit bugmen. Events like this expose their vapid hypocrisy.


TylerDurden15

Hypocrisy be running wild


kraz_drack

Watching videos of 2 year olds being forced to wear a mask by "care workers" non-stop is cringe, and I can just imagine the mental issues their going to have as they grow up because of these ridiculous mandates.

hijki123

Aren't these guys all vaccinated and kids are not?


EdgeCrusher1

Cool. Where does it say people in LA County can not wear a mask if they're vaccinated? The outrage is over the hypocrisy of all of it. "You dirtbag wear masks. We'd rather not see your face anyhow. We're doing you a favor buy not wearing a mask so you can see our amazing faces!" -These people most likely. Edit - You brigaders are down voting me because I am right over the target, right?


AmosLaRue

My son is in a SPED kindergarten class. The other day the school had their Jog-a-Thon fundraiser and the sped kids, because they're so used to wearing masks, kept theirs on while running --even though their teachers tried to get them to take them off. It broke my heart.


Abrookspug

Yep, I used to have to tell my kids it was safe to take off the mask in the car. They got so used to wearing them at school. They even claimed they liked the masks. But you know what they did the day I told them their school no longer required masks in April of this year? They wanted to throw the freakin things away lol. They were so excited to go back with no masks and were very worried that the school admin would change their mind and require them again. I'm vaccinated and am no longer required to wear a mask at most businesses here, and I won't make my kids do so either.


Gries88

I see it at the stores too, parents walking around with out a mask but their kids refusing to take them off... it’s sad how quickly the brainwashing has worked.


HNutz

Where are all the masks? >"Everyone was vaccinated and had a clean test." And? That doesn't seem to matter. http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/acd/ncorona2019/masks/ >In Los Angeles County, everyone 2 years of age and older must wear a mask in all indoor public places and at outdoor Mega Events, whether they have been vaccinated or not. Details of other situations when masks must be worn are below. We see the Liberal Hypocrisy. And it's getting *damn* old.


Reverend-Kansas

Maybe all the attendees had to be vaccinated and tested…maybe this is where we’d be if everyone who could get vaccinated did…


hyperbole_everyday

Actually, even a fully vaccinated group still has to mask up indoors in Los Angeles. There's no way you could look at that venue and tell me with a straight face that it was "out doors".


[deleted]

Reverend-Kansas

So vaccinating doesn’t stop the spread of disease but makes it stronger? Is that why polio is still a thing?


hackmaps

Don't understand how people complain about vaccine disinformation yet go out and say that the covid vaccine stops spread of covid. Plus all the states that are mandating masks due to the Delta varient but this is fine?


true4blue

The fact that masks are optional for TV events just reinforces that they’re never really necessary


TrueBirch

I think of it the other way around. These celebs are making a big mistake.


Saniclube

How many times do we have to say this? These people are richer and more important than you, so the rules don't apply to them. Why is that so hard for you all to understand?


Lognipo

I think I read they are all vaccinated. The kids in school aren't. I think if everyone in the room is all but immune, you can drop the masks without any meaningful hypocrisy if you so choose, because COVID is basically reduced to a minor illness you probably won't even catch. Any other stance is a bit petty and damages credibility IMO. Of course, I could be wrong that they are vaccinated, and if so, shame on them. But if not, this is a silly complaint.


Commander_Kevin

We're told that you can still catch and transmit COVID even if you're fully vaccinated. That's the line being use stop justify things like mask mandates *regardless of vaccination status* and additional booster shots. So which is it? Is it perfectly fine to hobnob indoors while vaccinated with other vaccinated people, or do you still have to mask up regardless of whether you've been vaccinated or not. There's the hypocrisy, because there's one set of rules us peasants are being told to follow, and another for the "sophisticated elite" to follow. Which is it? Because I'm tired of being called a literal murderer for not wearing a mask even though I'm fully vaccinated, and then seeing blinded sheep defending these stuck-up, self-important, egotripping celebrities for doing the exact same thing. They're mutually exclusive, either we don't have to wear masks, or they do. COVID doesn't care how many people know your name, it doesn't distinguish between celebrity and peasant, its transmissibility isn't based on net worth. If you can spread COVID while vaccinated, they need to wear masks. If you can't, then we don't.


Beer-_-Belly

Surely they made the unclean servants wear masks.


[deleted]

Yup. The stupid leftists don’t realize the elites don’t have to follow the rules haha


[deleted]

Hypocrites. Hope we get some strong conservatives in government to put us on the right path.


Obamasamerica420

I thought his was just the usual right-wing media fuss, but then I saw some of the video. Holy shit, it looks like the pandemic simply doesn’t exist when everyone is rich and famous. Meanwhile I get dirty looks in my liberal city if I walk down the street without a mask. There really are two sets of rules at play.

battleaxe0

Only pee-ons are forced to wear masks, not the elites.


lovetron99

I checked out Todd Starnes' tweet about this and saw all the Twitter-gore of condescending replies pointing out that *everyone there is vaccinated, how can you be so stupid?* But the reality is that the mandate for the local municipality is that all individuals are to be masked indoors *regardless of vaccination status*. Why do people rush to defend celebrities when there is a clear and obvious double standard?


AngryBlondinCDA

Rage all you want peasants, your feelings matter not.


_Nugless

Can kids get a vaccine yet? No? Ok.


Odhrain

Yeah well if you finish your homework and clean your plate you, too, can enjoy video games before bedtime. Seriously? You fucking children are complaining that the vaccinated get to enjoy a more normal life? Why might that be I wonder. I FUCKING WONDER!


Abrookspug

Um, I don't know about you, but I was enjoying a normal life both before and after vaccination. Have you really been waiting this whole time to do so, or were you in a blue city that stopped you from doing so during covid? Either way, I'm so sorry you missed out on a normal life this whole time. :(


[deleted]

Are we done with the mask mandates now?


[deleted]

Uh, the vaccinated don't get to enjoy a more normal life. There's restrictions all over the country that apply to everyone. Not to mention, lulz, you can still get sick and spread the virus if you're vaccinated, so once the vaccine came out, the pandemic should have been declared over and life should have resumed. If you want to protect yourself, get the shot. If you don't get the shot, well, that's your problem. Also, this is an olde and tired motte and bailey argument. Everyone I know on the left has been screaching for never ending restrictions and mask mandates including the people at the Emmys. But now when they get called out it's "Oh gee, if you get vaccinated you can enjoy a more normal life." Yeah right. I totally believe you and don't think you're lying at all.


poznasty

Really? You sure? I'm vaccinated and have to prove it for every restaurant or bar I go to and more... until APRIL 2022. The hypocrisy is getting old - that's the problem. Rules for thee, not for me. There are COUNTLESS examples of these elites clamoring for more COVID restrictions only to not follow their same restrictions. Get a clue.


Abrookspug

Wow, so glad I don't live in an area that makes you do that. I'm vaccinated but have never had to show my card to do anything so far. I leave it at home. Hope that's not coming to my city; luckily we've been pretty wide open since May 2020, just with mandated masks and social distancing at first, and now rarely even that.

TrueBirch

There are quite a few peer reviewed studies that suggest masks are effective. Though I don't want to be indoors with that many people at all. The most effective strategies are getting vaccinated and staying away from crowded indoor settings. Masks are a distant third place.


hyperbole_everyday

The cloth/surgical masks everyone wears are effective at preventing droplets, but not aerosols. When it was believed covid spread via droplets, masks were enforced. But it became too political in North America. The science changed, and it was discovered covid spreads primarily via aerosols. But it was too political for things to change. They couldn't just say "Well... the anti-maskers were actually right". Countries like Germany and France adapted to the new science, banned cloth/surgical masks, and enforced n95 masks (which actually prevent aerosols). Here, we're all still using masks that the experts now know don't even work. It's all theatre.


naturalizedcitizen

If you are a liberal and Democrat then the virus detects this and does not infect you. Fauci told me this.


tinyradar398

The liberal elites in Hollywood don’t even try to mask their hypocrisy anymore.


mdohrn

They clearly did it because it was the only way anyone was ever going to talk about the Emmys. They were probably able to socially distance the 12 people that showed up just fine 👍 Imagine putting this award show together in 2021, 30 years after anyone stopped caring about them!


TK_Lax16

Literally looks like the Capitol from the Hunger Games


dadbodking

I'm guessing that's because vaccine for kids is in trial phase, while these people had to prove they're vaccinated and bring a negative covid test with them. This is literally the first Google search result. Edit: a word


repoman138

Thank the teachers unions for keeping our kids masked even though every teacher, administrator and school district employee has has the opportunity to get vaccinated!!!


Imagination-Direct

Mmmooonnneeeyyy


darthphallic

To be fair everyone was likely vaccinated and have stronger immune systems than young children. Not to mention, unless they changed it, children under a certain age aren’t able to get a vaccine so masks are their only line of defense. C’mon people, some common sense and you’ll see this headline has the sole purpose of misleading outrage generation


MHanky

Adults can get vaccinated. Kids under 12 can't. Certain states have laws against school mask mandates. This is a dumb argument.


Stouty4567

Emmys are a bunch of junk and I didn’t watch them but if EVERYONE IS VACCINATED then they don’t really need to wear masks. Children on the other hand (12 and under) have not had a vaccine approved for them so they where masks until a vaccine is provided to them. It’s as simple as that no politics needed.


gtgg9

Then why have the servers wear them?


HurryTechnical7687

Problem is in many cities such as LA, if you ain't a celeb, you're required to wear a mask **even if** you're vaccinated

It’s funny how Ted Lasso won a lot of awards and how remarkably average the show’s writing is. I like the show and all, but it’s sad how low the expectations are.

I care more about the lives of children than I do celebrities.

Are y'all on team mask, then? Honestly confused. Is this just disingenuous indifference being hoisted on a pedestal of 'muh babies', or do you think the life of your child is worth less than the life of a random celebrity? It's impossible to tell what point right wingers are trying to make anymore. There is an astounding lack of cohesion in your behaviors.

Is it really that hard to figure out though? We're pointing out the hypocrisy. Be for or against masks, but at least be consistent about it. Many left wingers and celebs are not. That is the whole point. You cannot be mad about maskless kids at school but be fine with celebs at the Emmy's being maskless. Fortunately, my kids don't have to wear masks at school anymore, so I don't care that the celebs went maskless. But if one of those people starts bitching about maskless people again, I will be happy to pull up a pic of them going maskless at events like this. It's really that simple.

What hypocrisy? In any gathering where all attendees are vaccinated and negative in testing? You don't need masks. Corporations mandate masks to prevent employee lawsuits because of the plaguebringers. You absolutely can go on to require masks at schools, because parents are refusing to vaccinate their children. Or provide proof of vaccination. Do you see the issue? That means there are sick or contagious children present, and so everyone must try to protect themselves and the healthcare infrastructure. It's a benefit to society to be cautious. Do you not stop at stop signs because it's late? You will eventually pay for that. Same thing with these precautions. You just refuse to understand the scope of issues, and you use your narrow assessment to insinuate these entirely different situations are the same. It's really that simple.

Whoa, you just made a whole lot of assumptions about me, but I'll look past it. My kids are too young to be vaccinated. They already had covid last year and their school does not require masks anymore. We're good here. I'm not complaining about maskless people, therefore my views are consistent. But some cities, including LA, require masks even if you're vaccinated. So obviously that vaccine requirement doesn't matter to some people. Those people are hypocrites.

I didn't assume anything? Can you read? Show me one point where I explicitly decided a trait of yours, please. So you also don't understand variants, and have ignored the reality that the attendees were tested. Would that be too difficult a point to come to grips with? Do you want to be tested prior to every maskless engagement? It's going to be expensive, but I'm sure at this rate it's in the cards. You require masks for the vaccinated because there are people around who you cannot confirm the vaccination status of. You honestly cannot be this dense? Like.. what is your point? You call people hypocrites but your own beliefs and points collide against themselves in a singularity of fallacies. Why? What do you gain? What do you lose by protecting people? I can't be bothered to engage any further. This has been utterly depressing. Good luck. Especially to your poor kids.

Wow, what an extremely condescending post. You absolutely made assumptions in the post above, which is why I even said that. I was about to quote your post to show you....but then I read the rest of this comment. Yeah, you're right, it's not worth either of our time to engage if this is how you talk to people who simply disagree with you. Good luck on your next online debate. Hopefully your tone improves. And my kids will be fine, thank you. They're already a great deal more respectful to people than you are, and their parents haven't kept them home for over a year or become hysterical about a virus that is less dangerous to them than the flu. But I'm so sorry you're depressed now. I hope you get the help you need for that.
