“Star Trek” actor Wil Wheaton recently explained why he feels compelled to keep wearing a mask in certain public settings even though people act like “d*cks” about it.

The 51-year-old took to social media, saying “someone asked why [my wife] Anne and I wear masks to hockey games, and because they weren’t a d*ck about it, I answered them.”

Wheaton said he was posting his full reply for future reference.

“Covid is very much still A Thing, and so is the flu, the common cold, and other respiratory illnesses,” he began a lengthy Facebook post.
