This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

So, if you are a complete sociopath you might question whether or not you need to wear one, but otherwise it is obvious you should.
I'm not interested in humoring those afflicted with hypochondriasis. 
Two can play diagnose the mental illness game. :-/

You are mindless goof if you believe it makes you a hypochondriac to wear a mask around other people after a year in which ~600,000 americans died of a novel virus spread through air droplets.

I heard that it was 100 million dead.

Presumably that's intended as some sort of snarky joke.

Presumably that's intended as some sort of snarky joke. Assuming that's so, you're engaged in one of the weirder acts of modern performative nihilism. The denial of Covid deaths comes from a different motivation from holocaust denial, but the two share the same intellectual pedigree. They are the realm of people with malignant personality disorders, and dipshits who believe the nonsense they make up.
I did naht zee what you did there.

So you're not only a sociopath if you thinking wearing a mask doesn't do anything, you're also a holocaust denier if you think the Chinavirus death count is inflated.

And I'm supposed to take this line of "reasoning" seriously?

C'mon man!

Why would the count be inflated...

It isn't like they

1) Attributed a death to Covid-19 to anyone who displayed symptoms of the common cold.
2) Used a test that wasn't really designed to detect Covid to find it by increasing the 'gain' until the 'background noise' was so high the test registered as a positive result.
3) Cut the hospital's revenue to near 0 by shutting down elective procedures and then offering a financial incentive for Covid-19 patients.

oh wait... ???

But, hey at least the Flu didn't really hit last year... ::)

So you're saying that the usual 30+ million annual flu cases dwindling down to mere thousands isn't normal..?

No bones for the anti-vaxxers (that also happen to overlap considerably with the anti-maskers).

Since they are not actually a 'vaccine' what do anti-vaxxers have to do with it?

Did you read the part about vaccinated people being the ones allowed to go maskless?

Which doesn't have anything to do with my question.

Since the jabs being offered are not vaccines (in either the legal or scientific definition) what do anti-vaxxers have to do with the situation?

Explain how they are not vaccines. In particular, I'd love to hear how the Johnson and Johnson vaccine isn't a vaccine.
