I’m saying if you want to be offensive then own it. Say you are comfortable offending people. At least I can respect the conviction.

Don’t tell me I’m wrong for being offended because it’s your “workplace culture”.

It's not either/or. Someone can opt not to try to modify their behavior in an effort to never offend anyone without accusing other people of having the "wrong" feelings. A person can also make concessions on some of their behaviors and not others.

Pushing emotions (your own or others) into the right/wrong binary is what is worth avoiding.

I’m not sure what you are arguing here.
