sadly, masking yourself when protesting is forbidden here in my country :c

Facepaint? Some designs can confound facial recognition systems

But it won’t protect against tear gas or rubber bullets.

Ironically neither does a mask?

Not a balaclava, but there are goggles and full-face masks that offer some protection.

I have been shot with a bean bag. Balaclava isn’t going to do shit. I was wearing a leather coat and almost my whole torso was deeply bruised.

Is that how you inspired your username?
