You're saying that if something is true, it can't be offensive to say it?

@BenAveling@mastodon.world @matunos@mastodon.social Nothing so simplistic. Agree, “truth = inoffensive” is false. Tracy’s post can still be inoffensive for a different reason that is true. Such as: 1. It was not using an antisemitic trope 2. It’s not offensive to point out that white men still have the vast majority of power (money, political, etc.) in our world. 3. Reading diversely on purpose counters documented publishing skew. Why do you think saying so is offensive?
