Thanks, but really, it was not a thang.

That said, I have, recently had someone in meatspace ask me to explain the anti-maskers and vociferous anti-mask views. This person had no patience with such people, but was willing to hear the basics from a confidant. https://twitter.com/flatlanderorg/status/1310162796500389888
1) Inefficacy
Antimaskers cite decades of studies (to what degree properly or erroneously being another matter entirely, and definitely outside of the scope of this list) which mute the efficacy of masks in reducing spread of viral loads outwards from the maskwearer, and inwards
2) Outright harm
They also note circumstances in which masks may cause harm to the wearer, be it via allergens in dyes, irritation from the fibrous patterns, their ability to become petri dishes for all sorts of microbes, etc.
3) Control
Believing masks to be generally inefficacious and sometimes (or even often) harmful, the only conclusion to be drawn is that mandating them is a control mechanism, from a 'Sh*t Test' by TPTB (seeing how far masses will go) to a Satanic Mark of the Beast trial balloon
4) Normalization (of the wrong things)
The normalization of masks make it so calling the authorities or questioning suspicious masked individuals is now frowned upon, children's understanding of facial expressions is muted, and the new cult is unquestioningly following CDC shifts
5) Misdirection/Scapegoating
With nonmaskers being directly implicated in COVID spikes, those in power- and their spokesbugs- are asking the masses to shame and report nonmaskers, diverting attention and energy away from those who fumbled the entirety of the COVID response
6) Surveillance
Generally speaking, if an individual can be identified while unmasked, and later identified when masked, this gives surveillance technology organizations in the private and public sectors greater ability to develop their methods, and snoop on private citizens
That about covers the main thrust of the antimasker position, but if others would like to add more, or offer corrections to the aforementioned, feel free.

The anti-antimasker position (which is not necessarily a pro-mask one), generally, is as follows: https://twitter.com/trajan_decius/status/1307084159094083590
@flatlanderorg, himself skeptical of private/public mask mandates, does a great job in pointing out the Punch-and-Judy show between pro- and anti-mask forces being set up. A positive feedback loop between tyrannical states and distraction protesters ensues. https://twitter.com/flatlanderorg/status/1310162794977939456
