@Shadow10YearsWizard let's open it is implemented in a way that won't be a pain trigger for many users....

A nice idea, but quite easy to do it wrong.

@Shadow10YearsWizard probable, but you can still manage to make something stupid. A passive aggressive description message like "don't be an idiot wear this", something vaguely morbid like "a way to not die"... a red/blue mask with a 51 stars on it..... plenty of ways to get it horribly wrong.

@Shadow10YearsWizard also consider that some sites have specific chatrooms for any pandemic related topic because some users are quite stressed and may not want to see more pandemic talk in the chat too (especially if they happen to work in the medical sector)

The best option would be have the mask as a separate setting, like "wear hats" & "wear mask"

and be able to opt-out of each one separately so that you could see hats but no masks if that is a pain trigger for you.
