Your stance on wearing masks?

I’m a total mask fanatic. Finally! A way to keep my face warm during the freezing Chicago winter. I wear them from the moment I step outside. I keep them on in the car and I sometimes wear them around the house. I plan on wearing a mask for the rest of my life. I love the different patterns. My favorites are made from misprinted dish towels. They’re very comfortable. I get them here!

I wear masks in the parking lot and stores and stuff and drive-thrus (if im close to the window)
I wear masks to lessons and stuff and big get togethers but if its just a couple friends we're fine.
I'm used to them, honestly it makes sense and I'm just doing my part to get out of this hellhole called covid

There are no cases where I am and not many in the country in general but my view is that if they were mandated and there were cases then I would want to take that very seriously and wear a mask everywhere. This virus has taken enough lives, the very least I could do in that situation is use all of the proper precautions. There have been more corona deaths than World War II. Additionally, my brother would almost certainly not survive it if he caught the virus and who knows who else is in the same situation- I think that masks are very important.
I dont think people should be required to wear one... However people can and should be able to make decisions for thier business.
As someone who got a bad bacterial chest infection from wearing masks for hours... And has this haapen before from masks years before covid 19 was a thing, Who also has asthma and a history of being allergic to multiple antibotics or antibotics simply not working at all.. The mask thing is a huge issue for me. I had two options for antibotics from this infection i had for months because they couldnt get them to work. One of them was black boxed.
Luckily for me after having issues trying to find a doctor to treat me even though my covid test was negative i recovered. Slow but achieved and while being at home where i was safest. Needless to say employment is also an issue because of the requirment of masks for hours upon hours.
I feel like people who have legitimate reasons get trampled on.
I do wear one for a trip to the store just because i dont want to deal with ignorant judgy loud people... And keep it as short as possible with the thinnest material i can find. needless to say most of the time i have someone to get my groceries because i simply cannot safely wear one for hours and i take forever walking because of muscle and joint mobility issues.

Good grief.
I'm strongly in support of masks and quite frankly I don't get the opposition to them.

Yes, I wear them whenever I am around people. I believe it's the smart thing to do, and I judge anyone who doesn't wear one while they are around people. Endangering others is something I will not tolerate or listen to excuses for. I also personally cut contact with any anti-maskers that I knew.
In animal crossing, I don't wear their masks much. I like animal crossing to be an escape from reality.

to be honest, i haven’t left my house in several months but if i’m going to be around people who i don’t live with, whether it’s downstairs in the laundry room or receiving a mail delivery, i always have my mask on. i don’t wear one in-game, though; i’ve thought about it but haven’t actually done it aha.

I hardly leave my house but I always wear masks when I'm in stores or any public place or building especially when there's a lot of people. If I'm outside and there aren't that many people, I don't really wear masks.
I have asthma and always wear a mask, I’ll actually miss them when they’re eventually gone because I find a lot of comfort in being able to hide 50% of my face haha

I also wear glasses, the fogging up is a nightmare but one of my friends actually bought some anti-fog spray for her glasses and they’ve worked a treat! Might be worth investing if that’s the issue you’re having
Any time I go out, I will always put on a mask before I leave my vehicle. Even if there wasn't a mask mandate I would still do it, since I'm not taking any chances any time soon with the fact that COVID-19 is mainly an airborne virus and masks help to mitigate that risk of catching it. I never want to put my health nor my family's health nor anybody else's health at risk when I'm able to do something about it, y'know?
It is disappointing that masks have become so politicized, because we should be prioritizing the health of everybody and working towards reducing the spread of COVID-19 and ending this pandemic sooner rather than later. Masks help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, and mask mandates should definitely be and remain in place everywhere until the pandemic is over, as otherwise lots of people won't wear one simply because it isn't required ("give an inch, take a mile"), which in turn just makes COVID-19 keep spreading. The only people who shouldn't be wearing a mask are those who can't for medical reasons. Those who are anti-maskers are just selfish people whose beliefs and actions endanger all of our lives. Being uncomfortable with a piece of fabric on your face is a much better alternative to people (including yourself) getting severely sick and possibly even dying all because you wouldn't wear a mask.
As for wearing them in-game, in truth I don't care. I sometimes wore them in New Horizons early on (in March/April), but now I don't bother. Ultimately, it is a virtual world where it doesn't matter whether or not you have a mask on, so it's not a big deal.

Yeah idek what my line up doing anymore
Masks are so important to keep one another safe ❤
Atm our cases are really good so I don't wear an mask except public transport. It is an absolute must interacting with a place with so many people. I am glad it is mandatory right now as people don't unfortunately share the same view. When cases spike I switch to wearing my mask more.
As for in-game I just treat as it accessory. I do think it is cute people do it as being covid safe, just hope their attitude carries over to real life too

I often had to wear a face mask in the laboratory I used to work in so I didn't find it particularly novel or something I had strong opinions on when it was enforced here. Right now I'm working from home, studying from home, and get my groceries delivered so I've no reason to venture outside and make contact with people.
I wear one in ACNH as a fashion accessory and have done since launch. The few times I have removed it I found it didn't look right so put it straight back on again. Much like the mohawk wig it is just a part of my identity now.

I wear one whenever I'm in a building with other people that isn't my own home and outside when getting close to other people is unavoidable.
I can only wear thin ones though, else I can get literally blinding migraines especially in combination with being on a bus (the absolute worst was when I had to sit down for half an hour afterwards before I was even able to walk again. I stopped wearing fabric masks after that day.)
I'm fine with people who have genuine reasons to be unable to wear a mask, but those tend to just explain their reasons instead of complaining about rights and freedom and whatnot. And probably still empoy other methods of minimizing risks, so it's fairly easy to tell who has legitimate reasons. The people who circumvent our "no more than one visitor from a different household at a time" by celebrating their birthday eight times are just idiots.
Masks in AC are nice to have but if someone required me to wear one, I'd probably leave/not visit their island in the first place. You do you, but I'm playing games to get a break from real life for a bit.

In the last few months I’ve hardly ever left the house but when I have been out I have always worn a mask, mostly this has only been to hospital or the doctors but I’d wear it in any public space/building. I’m not a massive fan of them mainly because I always seem to get light headed from wearing one too long, very low blood pressure doesn’t really help this though, but I feel safer when I’m out of I wear one and want to make sure I’m protecting others too so that everyone can try and stay safe and healthy. Obviously though there are health problems that prevent people from wearing a mask so I don’t think they should have to wear one if it’s detrimental to their health.
As for in game masks I think they’re completely fine as an accessory, or if people just want to have on for their character to make it more life like, but like others have mentioned - forcing someone to wear one to visit an island seems a bit over the top.

They've gone so far as to mandate the FFP2/(K)N95 masks where I live, and there were mask mandates on and off before that, but I've been wearing one in any indoor public space since it first became a thing. I do find them super uncomfortable, though, unfortunately - the fabric ones are always too big for my face, so I have to twist the ear straps to get them to be snug (which I didn't realize for a few months, ugh), and they always slide up into my eyes, while the FFP2 masks are noticeably much harder to breathe through, so I get a headache if I wear them for too long, even though I don't have any sort of breathing problems otherwise. I was actually hoping them switching to the stricter mask mandate here might help contain the spread, just by making people not want to go out besides for necessities if they have to wear an FFP2 mask, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be going that way.
In-game, I do wear one sometimes, but mainly just when it fits the outfit, and then I'd say it's more inspired by, like, edgy Asian fashionistas and dancers who wear one to protect their identity.

I always wear one when I'm near others or inside a building, but if I'm in a room alone (like my bedroom or my designated practice room at the music hall) or if I'm walking around alone where no one else is, then I don't wear it. I have a hard time breathing when I wear one so if I can avoid it I usually do. that being said I understand the mandate and always wear it around others.
also I think making characters in a video game wear a mask for pandemic related reasons is asinine. I personally don't like masks at all as a fashion statement (unless like someone mentioned before it has to do with asian culture) so when I see people on Pokemon GO or New Horizons wearing a face mask because "there's a pandemic going on" it irritates me. like it's not happening in the game lol??

Only in stores that requires it, the cloth masks are useless anyway, this have been proven time, and time again, if people want to believe the convenient lies then by all means wear them if that's what it takes for you to feel safe.
Personally I get sick whenever I wear one, my nose starts running , and my throat, and chest feels tight hours later, and I get a slight fever, nothing serious, but annoying nonetheless, not sure why but whatever, I just deal with it.
