Not being a mind reader, one is challenged to avoid situations you had not intended. Attributing guilt to protests of innocence is unsavory.

You're a victim of public schooling.
Context concerns the placement of words or sentences as they work together.
For example:
"If I were a Liberal, I would consider all manner of socialism acceptable."
OUT OF CONTEXT: "I would consider all manner of socialism acceptable."
No such context exists for your tag-line.
Context is NOT about *intention* but only and solely about MEANING.
