So many people feel that if they pre-bunk each other, they are less likely to be polarized. And there's many ways to pre-bunk and humor is one large part of it. So in early 2020, when people are not sure what the coronavirus interaction with masks are, in Taiwan we already observe — as in other places, like one side says, because we had a SARS experience a few years ago, people feel only N95, the highest grade mask, are useful and every other mask are actually a scam or something. And the other side says it's ventilation, it's aerosol. So wearing a mask hurts you and wearing N95 hurts you the most, right? So if we just let these two polarized memes grow, then they tend to fight each other and people will basically polarize into mask and anti-mask camps.
