Doesn't really matter. Rudeness doesn't belong equally everywhere.
It's not rude if it's true though.
That’s patently and blatantly false. Commenting on someone’s receding hairline or large stomach can be absolutely true, but it’s also rude as hell unless specifically prompted.
That's not true actually. Rudeness is a function of social acceptability, which is context dependent. If you told someone you wanted to kill them, that would be very rude in most environments, true or not.
However, if they were physically threatening you with a weapon, that no longer becomes quite so rude, and is more of a reasonable warning to back off, since your life is in danger too.
Rudeness that's based on truth is just harsh criticism.
Sure. You could also flip that around and say harsh criticism is just rudeness based on truth.
It remains rude, however. It's not like all harsh criticisms are good. We do draw a line between constructive criticism and other kinds. We do this because it's all about results at the end of the day, and looking at all the nitty gritty details about how we got the good ones.
Fair
Wrong. The truth can hurt lol
In that case it should hurt
