Recent discussion on the normativity of content has taken the normativity of (true) belief to be one, if not the most salient, of its manifestations. In spite of an overwhelming consensus, I argue, the normativity of belief is largely orthogonal to the assessment of the normativity of content. Indeed, our best theories of the normativity of mental content, that is, Inferential Role Semantics, are naturally understood as showing no commitment towards norms for (true) believing. This point can be used to offer powerful replies to antinormativist criticisms. Here I discuss one central example.
