I feel the same way. I've been in an abusive relationship and was heartbroken to see how many people were making something that's so hard to go through into a joke. She need's support, not someone laughing in her face. I tried to tell my sister about my abuse to get some support and she told me I was just being overdramatic, and said how dare I compare my "perfectly healthy" relationship to an abusive one. It took me 2 years to get the courage to leave because of that, and when I did leave my all my sister said was that "at least I learned my lesson".
As a victim of domestic violence, this is in poor taste. Make fun of the abuser all you want, but laughing at a victim trivializes what happened to them. It may seem funny to those that have never experienced abuse, but to those that have, this hurts.
