If You’re Not Wearing Your Mask, I Will Call You Out––Call Me The ‘Masked Avenger’
Every comic book heroine has her kryptonite, right? I don’t know, actually, but The Masked Avenger definitely does. And it’s this: indifference., she said. The passenger betrayed not one iota of shame for being announced as a potential deadly vector to a bus full of people. Further, she applied the same idiotic logic I have heard in response to shushing in movie theaters. “If you don’t want audience participation, watch the movie at home.” But it’s absolutely maddeningly, achingly backward.
We get together in common spaces for a common need — to see the movie on a big screen in a cold, air-conditioned wonderland called a theater. We take buses because we all want or need to be moved from one location to another without the use of our feet. We just happen to be in the same space for efficiency.
But it is not the deadly decision to abstain from mask-wearing that bugs me the most. It is the casual, reality-is-not-my-problem, I’m-fine-gambling-with-your-health-and-minethat makes me want to jump out of my weary, befuddled skin. And in the context of New York City, I find it baffling. New Yorkers aren’t indifferent about, normally. Everyone here has strong views on everything and feels deeply emotionally committed to their viewpoints.
On buses, I have been told to “mind my own business” I have been called a “bitch” and a “lying bitch,” I have been told, in front of my child, to “shut the f*** up.” This, from a maskless man who threw himself right in front of me, in order — I kid you not — to kiss my dog, who sat nearly hidden, in my bag. When I strongly objected, and — you guessed it — asked the man to put on a mask, he replied.
