The story sounds made up. The department head sounded like too much of a cartoon villain, at least from our perspective. From their perspective, they probably regard him as 'badass' or whatever.
However, no one with more than two braincells would worsen a situation like that by saying that sort of thing out loud.
The interesting thing is the reaction of Redditards. And I say that as someone who wore masks before they were legally mandated, just out of an abundance of caution. They want you to obey. Probably in February 2020, they would have screamed at people that they should not wear masks, because the authorities had ordered it so.
Hold on. Just hold on a second. Here we have a story with:
-An antagonist who embodies everything Reddit does not like
-The antagonist going TOTALLY CRAZY AND NUTS for absolutely no reason
-The antagonist delivering several lines that you almost never hear in real life but hear in 100% of Very Real Social Media Stories
-An important person with many titles (so you know they're important and smart) walking into the room and delivering a lengthy smackdown monologue
-The antagonist instantly admitting that the Reddit-approved way of thinking is correct and begging for mercy from her enlightened and rational betters
And you think it's fake? Please, I haven't seen something so genuine since Einstein gave me that hundred dollar bill. I think you need to be more open-minded.
The whole chain of events makes no bloody sense at all. She goes from demanding to be maskless to self-identifying as "brainwashed by social media" with zero intermediary steps as soon as she's challenged by big strong scienceman? Sounds like NPC fanfic to me.
Mostly likely these are the same people who (rightly) laughed at the story about the Christian veteran owning the atheist college professor on the existence of God. Amazing how their skepticism disappears when the story is something they agree with.

Very fake. Nobody would ever confront a crying young female that way IRL.
