I think I was trying to draw a line that exists to me, at least, between something that is written *intentionally* to cause hurt, and something that - to the author - may not be offensive (rightly or wrongly)
Being involved in a fandom with some real, very nasty racism floating around (unfortunately), that distinction is important to me. Challenging ignorance is different to challenging bigotry.
