I assume you're basing the abuse argument on the WWE logo in the corner. Everyone who didn't notice that (me included, at first) just see a girl with a "how dare he?" look on her face. Which is actually pretty funny.

In case you're wondering where all the downvotes are coming from.

Yeah, like, I noticed the WWE logo right away but assumed that was simply where the image of the woman was sourced from, and not intended as part of the joke. I didn't take any physical violence tones from it at all.

Couple have argument

Woman leaves room, expecting to be chased

Man decides to play games instead

Woman has shocked Pikachu face

The Woman wanting to be chased is definitely childish, and possibly emotional manipulation, but I don't think it's intentional manipulation. At least, there isn't enough context in the images alone to say that with certainty. Definitely a bit of a leap.

I think you're also over analysing and the other person is, simply put, an idiot.

That would make the top comment make a lot more sense
