About

The webcomic was posted to X / Twitter by artist @Fenrirwolfen at the end of June 2024 and went viral shortly after. It inspired memes over the following weeks, including photoshops of an exploitable panel featuring a speech bubble that reads "you're going to conversion therapy camp tomorrow" over the main character's head, which was recaptioned. The comic is similar to other viral trauma dump comics turned into meme formats, including I Might Go Homeless? and Your Favorite Student.

On June 29th, 2024, X^[1] artist @Fenrirwolfen posted a comic titled "You're Going to a Conversion Therapy Camp Tomorrow," garnering over 106,000 likes and 15,000 reposts in two weeks. The comic details a purportedly true story about the artist, a furry with a wolf fursona, who discovers he's gay after watching Brokeback Mountain, decides to come out and is later told he has to attend a conversion therapy camp by his parents. Instead of attending the camp, Fenrirwolfen decides to hold onto his pride and run away from home to live in an apartment on his own (full comic shown below, click to expand).

YOU'RE GOING TO A CONVERSION THERAPY CAMP TOMORROW. LUCKILY, BOTH OF MY PARENTS DO NOT KNOW ABOUT TECHNOLOGY AND HAVE LEFT ME TO DISCOVER THE INTERNET BY MYSELF.

IT GAVE ME THE COURAGE I NEEDED. IT WAS SO BAD TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN'T EVEN GO VISIT A FRIEND, EVEN IN SUMMER BREAK. MY PARENTS WOULD LOCK UP ALL THE GAME CONSOLES DURING SCHOOL YEAR UNTIL SUMMER BREAK. I HAD ONE GAMEBOY COLOR HIDDEN IN MY CLOSET AND THAT'S THE ONLY FRIEND I HAD OFF SCHOOL. I WOKE UP 8AM THAT MORNING. TAXMET DRAGGED MY BELONGINGS IN A HUGE PLASTIC BAG. H 00 THE WALL STARTED TO CRACK. EVERY END OF THE DAY AT SCHOOL, MY PARENTS WOULD SEND A DRIVER TO COME PICK ME UP IN OUR FAMILY'S VAN THEY KEPT TELLING ME THAT WE ARE POOR. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN SOMETHING WAS UP. MY FIRST EXPOSURE TO GAY MEDIA WAS UNFORTUNATELY DONE AS A JOKE. MY FRIENDS WERE SHOUTING IN ONE CORNER OF THE ROOM THAT THEY'RE WATCHING AN "ICKY" MOVIE. BUT THE POINT IS. I WAS NOT EXPOSED TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD AS MUCH AS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN. MADE AS LITTLE NOISE AS POSSIBLE. HOPPED ON A RANDOM TAXI. GOING FOR THE APARTMENT I SIGNED. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAS SHIFTED THEIR THINKING DUE TO THE VOICES OF BEING GAY IS OKAY. INCLUDING ME. I HAVE ACCEPTED MYSELF THAT BEING GAY IS OKAY. AND NEVER LOOKED BACK. I'm but Sorry Can't live together anymore. we IT WAS BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. I LAUGHED IT OFF AS USUAL WITH MY FRIENDS. BUT SOMETHING INSIDE ME HAS PIQUED AN INTEREST. I KEPT ASKING MYSELF IF THIS IS POSSIBLE? COLLEGE YEARS WERE DIFFERENT. AND SO I HOLD ONTO THE TINY GAY FLAG FOR MY TINY GAY HEART HAPPY THAT PEOPLE HAVE CHANGED FOR THE BETTER OMG, YOU'RE GAY? I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A GAY FRIEND! OMG, YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND?! YOU HAVE TO INTRODUCE HIM TO US! I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU IF ANYONE EVER BULLIES YOU! IT HAS BEEN ROUGHLY 10 YEARS NOW. BUT THE MEMORY OF THAT NIGHT IS STILL FRESH IN MY MIND. I'm but we Sorry Can't live together anymore THAT'S WHEN IT CONFIRMED WITHIN ME. I HAD AN INKLING SINCE A LONG TIME AGO BUT THE THOUGHT OF BEING WITH A MAN BRINGS ME JOY. I AM GAY. OF COURSE. DURING THAT TIME. PEOPLE WERE NOT.. FRIENDLY WITH THE THOUGHT.
