My theory is that they see as a religious garment like a hijab/niqab, something you only do if you are a pro-illuminati cultist.
Edit: Or maybe they view it like a liberal version of the Maga hat.

Just tell them you're contagious, and don't want to pass it on to them.
So consider it from their position: fuck everyone else
Two angry men on separate occasions have made comments to me about masking and how I don’t need to do it. I just stare right through them and ignore,
I just say thanks, I prefer wearing it and I'm more comfortable with it on. That generally works.
but why are they so angry?
Might go back to the conflicting and stupid instructions we got when the pandemic started. The public health establishment lost all its credibility and continues to mess up.
Masks are a sign that things aren't the normal of 5 years ago.
Have you tried being a six foot tall male with visible anger issues themselves?
