Aslanadis, who has been making Toronto-themed merch through the Button Machine for the last 10 years, says the idea for his new buttons came from a frustration with smug COVID denialists.
He says he s fortunate not to have had many personal experiences within his own network, but Aslanadis is aware there are people in Toronto spreading misinformation across the city, including that annoying dude bro with the veneers that s always at the lockdown protests. They ll tell you you re brainwashed, call you sheep, all the while using bad logic and citing poor information about why COVID isn t real or isn t a real threat, says Aslanadis.
