The fact that she's rustled so many jimmies says she's on to something.

Sure. Everyone cares cause she's trolling. Youtube has thousands of trolls, male and female, they don't get this reaction.

Everyone cares because her videos are thin and patently anti-feminist. She's regularly casually bashed artistic depictions (some even *criticizing the objectifaction of women*) as mysoginist, and has spoken out in favor of sex-segregation policies. These naturally generate a plethora of "this dumb bitch" comments, which she then plays up as a sign that her messages are somehow *not* utterly thin, thoughtless, and backwards. She's an utterly commendable troll. Abigail Williams would be proud.

Or, more probably, she's pretty close to the mark

No, more probably, she's a troll. The only open comments section she's ever held was during her kickstarter, simply to provide herself with something to point at and say "see? THIS IS A REAL ISSUE." She had completely closed the comments sections on her previous two videos from the start, as a strategic move to funnel hate, and even advertised the comments section of her kickstarter vid as a battleground (a battleground that conveniently closed as soon as it stopped making her money). Furthermore, she has never critically examined her own stances within the world of feminism (she is explicitly sex-negative) and always responds to criticisms with hand-waving.
