appropriate exaggeration

Not in the same vein as an over "exaggeration" or an "under exaggeration."

In the act has a similar result to regular exaggeration, but when stated causes the "Oh yeah, I guess I can see that... " response in those who hear it.
Person 1: Ugh, that person ended up keeping me up all night last night! I didn't get to sleep till like 3 in the morning...

Person 2: That's not really all night.

Person 1: It is when you have to wake up at 5 for work the next day, dude. It's an appropriate exaggeration...

Person 2: Oh yeah, I guess I can see that...

Hatred-Induced Exaggeration

When a person exaggerates how bad something is due to sheer anger.
The AVGN is notorious for Hatred-Induced Exaggeration. While most of his reviews are brutally honest and to the point, sometimes he's just complaining to complain.
For example, in the Dick Tracy episode, he gets mad because "the driving controls are bad" and "the snipers (outside) are far too accurate." In reality, however, the driving controls are extremely simple; and the snipers are not NEARLY as accurate as they appear in the video. Not that it makes the game even remotely passable.
