Its not a personal attack, Its just true

True things can be personal attacks.

Describing the state of something is not an attack

You can't reduce communication to simple rules like that. It depends on who is communicating what to whom and why.

For example, when a middle school kid has acne and another kid goes on about their face, that is not a neutral "describing the state of something". Everything they say may be facts, yet it is certainly a personal attack—and the more cruel, the more true it is.

Seriously are you taking child behavior as an example?

"Argument by analogy" look it up

Adults are no different from children in this respect, and the example is particularly easy to relate to.
