were this Nintendo, they’d be receiving rightful backlash, but people, like you, online will give a pass due to the sheer fact that it’s Valve doing the takedown.

well... now you're indicating that this kind of isn't hyperbole from you, because you're just straight arguing the underlying (and still incorrect) "hyperbolic" point now, lol

Yes, hyperbole is non-falsefiable. It’s a rhetorical device, not a claim unto itself.

i mean i think this is just obviously ridiculous. if someone said "every person who dislikes Valve is a pedophile who hurts children" or whatever hyperbolically i think it'd be silly to say that's non-falsifiable just because it's hyperbolic. there's still an underlying and incorrect claim being made
