How your friend looks when you tell him his girlfriend isn't tsundere, she's abusive

This reaction meme has two sections: bold all-caps white text on a black background at the top, followed by a low-resolution slightly distorted image of Verne the turtle from the 2006 animated film *Over the Hedge*. The text reads "HOW BRO LOOKS AT ME AFTER I TELL HIM THAT HIS GF ISN'T A TSUNDERE BUT JUST ABUSIVE". The turtle has wide bulging eyes and a slightly open mouth, conveying a stunned, disbelieving expression that represents the reaction of a man who just learned his girlfriend's harmful aggressive behavior is not the cute playful anime "tsundere" trope he thought it was, but actual abuse. The meme criticizes people who excuse intimate partner abuse by mislabeling it as a quirky fictional personality trait.
