For about the same reason many people in the US are getting offended by the suggestion everybody should wear the MAGA hat. Mask is a political symbol, and not just in the US.
Here in the Southern Hemisphere, we refer to what I said as a ‘joke’ or a ‘jest’. This means it is a statement or remark intended to be taken humorously, and as such does not require a serious reply.
No offense taken, as I’m sure that living as closely as you do to Eastern Europe - a place which, by all accounts, has the reputation of being the epitome of dour - jokes and jests are somewhat unfamiliar to you.
