We Are NOT Victims of War

https://charleighcopley.com/2026/06/12/victims/

I am fighting this month and every month for those many, many of us who were sexually assaulted for being queer, even targeted by corrective rape or imprisoned for fighting off attackers.

We bring out the ugliest in those claiming to be "normal". We place higher value in our and other's consent, love, vulnerability and authenticity than in cultural norms or even laws. Within living memory, homosexuality was criminalised in my country and still is in many places, while our genders have never not been under attack.

Our very bodies and souls are criminal, abberant, shameful to those who feel entitled to use violence to prop up their fiction of "normalcy". They can not help but steep so low because what they have sold their souls to is based in lies and cruelty from the very foundation.

We, the victims of corrective rape and similar forms of targeted sexual violence, deserve a space where we can heal, where we don't have to be strong but can be vulnerable, where we're not kept small but can be strong and fierce. We contain multitudes.

One day we or our kin in spirit will inherit a world in which it is unthinkable to let anyone, no matter who, get away with rape.

just saw a meme that said "it's june which means it's illegal to be straight"

this is all in good fun and understood as such

but at the bottom, blending into the background, this version said, "asexuals are OK but y'all are on thin fucking ice"

and that is not in good fun. or acceptable

for those who don't know, a lot of ace people are targeted with "corrective rape" not only in heterosexual contexts but within the queer community where the assumption is perversely that the problem was they just haven't had the right queer sexual experience yet and need it foisted on them (which is rape)

Now, this is a lot more fucking complicated than we're going to get into in this meme, but please do some reading so you don't repeat these sort of ideas that lead to horrendous actual experiences for actual people.

Holy fuck Ariel Schrag and Rhys Ernst, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

I'm not even counting the racism ("weird asian pussy", lots of negative stuff about black folks), descriptions of butches and masculine women as "ugly" and descriptions of trans bodies as "freaky" and "disgusting".

And this shit is marketed as a comedy.
