Thanks for at least trying to be civil (you're the only one).
The way he talked to her was petulant and disgraceful.
I don't think it should be called 'abuse' because I think we should have learned a lesson from our well meaning attempts to spread mental health awareness last ten years...that when you over use these terms for lesser levels…

Real psychological abuse is too subtle to show up on a small video clip it's not something you can represent easily that's why it's so maddening (I speak from experience of all the kinds of abuse).
I thnk the USA goes too far tossing alarmist term around, then it spreads to us in Europe and then the term loses its shock and potency.
Maybe this is too conplex an argument for hysterical liberals who make all their opinions based on emotion but I've seen it before.
"I have depression" used to be a v serious thing to say. People would put their coffee down and put their arm around you...worried.
Now it's completely lost all its power because people toss the word around so much and it's not taken seriously.
Look at "genocide" in politics..in the 90s it was used to refer to trying to exterminate a group of people..now activists use it to refer to people disagreeing with a policy on trans people.
Watering the term down hurts victims in the long run because it normalised it and makes it seem common
Anyway I gotta go it's nearly midnight here and I have a job to get up to in 6 hours where unlike some of these other keyboard warriors I actually help real 'domestic' violence victims in the real world. It's harder than clicking a like and saying stuff, amazingly.
Plenty of people have engaged you civilly, which is difficult to do when one of the parties of the argument is handwaving away obvious abuse. Each of your posts is pretty obviously an attempt at gaslighting people into not seeing the obvious verbal abuse on the video and ignoring the actual threats made by Crowder that he himself has admitted to making.
Anyways, gaslighting is a technique repeatedly used by abusers, so this frankly tracks with all the replies to your comments that have correctly identified you as using the language and tactics of an abuser. Coincidentally, this also aligns with you repeatedly defending the abuser and not the victim.
So maybe just take a seat and stop trying to pretend that you're the victim in this thread.
