You seem to think you are being brutally honest. You aren't, you're being painfully arrogant. There is a massive difference.

  I expressed an honestly held opinion. It is possible that opinion was the result of painful arrogance. Those are not contradictory.

    Typically people understand being brutally honest as providing a painful to hear but helpful or contributory opinion. When your opinion comes from nothing but arrogance, ignorance, and a 4chan style need to draw attention to yourself by being deliberately insensitive, then your opinion isn't brutally honest. It's worthless, and you should keep it to yourself.

    Taking the opportunity of a man's death to call him overrated is not speaking truth to power: it's tacky and tasteless by any measure.

    Don't pride yourself too much on being "honest". It is far easier to go around always telling the truth than to apply discretion.
