Predator Mask Theory

A radical feminist observation that some men aren’t actually “good” — they’re just good at hiding their predatory impulses. The mask of civility, respect, or gentlemanly behavior isn’t a sign of conscience or morality; it’s a costume worn to avoid getting caught by the cops, society, or embarrassed friends.

Underneath, those impulses often revolve around women and girls who are far too young to consent.

Radical feminism recognizes this as part of a larger pattern of male violence against women: society praises the mask while ignoring the predator, allowing harm to continue. Predator Mask Theory exposes how male “respectability” is performative, but women’s safety is not.

“Brad swears he respects women, but when age laws came up, he literally froze. Predator Mask Theory, ladies — and yes, it’s horrifyingly consistent.”

light mask

The public act of using your phone to avoid eye contact with strangers and thus, social interaction. It is a bit anti-social, but we have all done it at some point or another. It is especially visible at night while people walk past strangers.

Diana: omg look! that man's moving closer to us.
Maria: It'll be fine, just pull out your 'light mask' and keep walking.

Octagonal synthetic face mask disorder

A face mask generally used on specimens with underdeveloped jaw lines. Generally the rare disease leaves victims with only two planes of sight. This means they can only see in 2D or in 1D. Just think, the original Super Mario Brothers for the NES had a better graphics system than the system that these people see in their everyday lives. I can't describe how I feel about this indistinct disease, it's one of the most minimally understood disease. People that suffer from octagonal synthetic face mask disorder generally do not live for much more than thirty years.

Superman was once thought to have octagonal synthetic face mask disorder.

If you take off your mask, and someone is disappointed in how you look, you’re a mask catfish.

Mask fines

Another way for authorities to make money, kind of like charging somebody with trespassing for going to a store and shopping (because they didnt have on a mask), and nothing more.

Mask fines are another way to collect money from somebody you want to put out on the street. Telling people something will end quickly is a good way to condition them into being compliant robots for when the next orders and guidelines come out, that way theres no fighting, people think it's normal because it has been for a weeks or months, and they're told it's the new normal. Theres nothing normal about a group/entity trying to take control of everyone else's lives, that's a step toward a totalitarian government, not a step toward reopening or freedom. A good way to take freedom from people is to keep telling them that they will be free only after they keep doing what you tell them to do and complying with your orders, and that it will end. If they compromise something else, if they give the group trying to take control something else, they will get something in return in the end. There's nothing waiting for anyone at the end, any more than theres anything waiting for a cow at a slaughterhouse.

Mask rules

A TV viewing audience is not your mother, so if you're a reporter on the news, why don't you tell your mother which businesses and people broke the stupid fuckin coronavirus rules?

Reporter- He/she/they broke the mask rules and my mommy is not the governor.
Authority figure (governor)- We will make sure they get punished, don't worry baby.
