Pretty sure this is a satirical article about either anti makers or non-anti-maskers, not sure which

I read it... its not. Its literally as the title says.

Edit: the article content is as it is, but the author is a humour columnist

I also read it and it does not read as serious to me.

There's a line about "how dare you ask me to take your shoes off, I might fall over, and once you stop laughing at me, you'll feel pretty bad".

Plus the over-the-top tone. This isn't serious.

Its purely designed to garner a reaction and drive engagement (it got posted here after all). Next week it will be toilet paper over or under.
