Shut the frick up. Chances are you will never have to face issues related to abuse or racism (assuming you're white) and because of that it will always be something you can “joke” about, because it will never seriously affect you. Maybe if you actually knew what it felt like to be secondary or othered because of your race, or if you were traumatized from domestic violence or knew someone who was, you'd know why this makes the people actually affected by that uncomfortable. This meme could trigger flashbacks and other trauma for an abuse victim and ruin their entire day, possibly their entire fricking week or even more, and they'd have to deal with that because some edgelord thought it would be a funny meme format.
