And that bit I didn't know. Well, looks like everyone in that video but for Sarkeesian herself is weapons grade crazy, then. That'll learn me for underestimating how many people on the internet are fucking batshit.
hy·per·bo·le [hahy-pur-buh-lee] noun Rhetoric . 1. obvious and intentional exaggeration. 2. an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.”
I hope you mean yourself, because when I looked it up, that guy was definitely not using the fine art of intentional hyperbole. He was serious business going mental, having a full-on meltdown. The dude went full-on Wile E. Coyote over the edge, and didn't realize he'd done something wrong till people really started dogpiling on him like group discount day at a cheap brothel.
Yeah DAVE! As long as your not exaggerating when your telling someone that you hope that they drown in rape semen it makes saying that shit OK. I mean come on, get with the times old man.
In any case, the point of the video is that by disallowing feedback of any kind, Ms. Sarkeesian has potentially damaged her own credibility by making it appear as if she cannot defend her ideas.

She hasn't disallowed shit. She's just not letting links to it happen on her video page - because the vast majority of them will no doubt be of absolutely no value. I'm sick of people pretending this is an issue.

A point that's already been argued for and against here so I won't bother repeating it. I'll also note, we're all poisoning the well a bit here, but seriously - that dude, kinda scum. And I mean he's kinda scum in the same way that I mean Harold Shipman kinda killed a person or two.
Notice how half-way through the creator had to start adding his name/blog to the images. Seriously, you lot should add Bent Objects' RSS to your Google Reader.

Also, while that guy is kind of a dickhead, some of the people in that video are weapons grade crazy.
