During boarding; a passenger approached me to indicate his displeasure that another passenger was not wearing a mask. I offered to allow the passenger to move forward to the exit row to gain distance from the indicated passenger. Another passenger seated in the exit row had removed his mask as he was eating. The original passenger; seated in seat X; opted to state that it was '[expletive]' that we wouldn't force everyone to wear masks. I did ask the passengers in question to put on a mask; but he refused. I brought the situation to both the other FA and the pilots. Passenger in seat X remained quiet once he returned to his seat.Passengers are nervous about flying and rapidly changing requirements that vary from state to state as well as a general disregard for what flight attendants say on the part of the passengers.
