Why was homosexuality so common among the Ottomans? You have

>>2836619
you will find that acceptance of homosexuality is always present in decaying empires

>>2836699

It was present in Turkey long before it started to decay.

>>2836619
Steppe invaders like Seljuks just kept personal sex slaves and harems, this was combined with Iranian culture of homosexuality and plenty of slaves Ottomans had thanks to steady supply brought by corsairs and tatars. Result is that.

honestly you guys need to chill out with golden age Islamic science and tolerance bullshit

inb4 this thread becomes filled with t*rks trying to damage control.

>>2836619
Turks are more accepting of homoerotic stuff in general.

Turkish men casually hold hands, kiss each other, pinch each other's butts, flirt, and cuddle each other. Like western women do.

It's not seen as gay to play around with other guys, it's actually applauded.

Imagine having a son that refuses to submit his boipussi when he loses a fight. Pure shame

>>2836619
I doubt it was any more common among Ottomans than anyone else, they were probably just more accepting of it.

ftfy

>>2836619
Unlike Rome whose emperors fuck men too

Beginning of time - ~1800s = homosexuality is something you do behind closed doors. We look the other way, but it's no big deal

1800s - 1980s = homosexuality is a sin and we're gonna chimp out if we find out you do it (still applicable in Muslim world)

1980s - 2000s = Homosexuality is fine, you can even be open about it. Who cares

2000s - Present = Homosexuality should be encouraged

Spartans were banging their boys long before and during their hegemony over Greece

Athenians (who, buy contrast, were actually quite decadent) mocked them for it even though they did it themselves (athens is probably the most unironically hypocritical polity to have ever existed).

That is western world and culture, it's way different in other cultures.

Men are sexy and always in the mood

What's not to love?

Imagine licking and fucking a muscular man ass, delicious, I'm straight though hahahaha

>>2836619
greek influence

The more repressed women are the larger the scale of pederasty and homosexuality.

Ancient Greece, the entire Muslim world (but note; no pederasty and homosexuality in Afghanistan BEFORE Islam!), And Japan.

But notice: Homosexuality and pederasty dropped the fuck off in Tang China. Also notice that the Tang dynasty resulted in women's social status being almost equal to that of men.

The more your chances of interacting with (and fucking) a girl are, the less homo society will be.

>>2838396
you got it backwards

only the civilized world let women have marginal and gradual rights and that's where the homosexuality and pedophilia took place

The Steppe and Germanic tribes treated their women like cattle and they weren't fags

however I bet they fucked animals

>>2838396
Afghans got pederasty from Alexander.

Pederasty in Greece was nowhere as common, prevalent, or socially acceptable as it was specifically in Sparta, what the fuck are you on.

go straight to the 27:00 mark.

Turkish teenagers today goes to trans brothels to be fucked in the ass and it's all, according to these guys, totally normal.

This is Turkey.

This is far too simplistic.

You're saying that it is in the 21st century that homosexuality is encouraged, which is just wrong. It's only in weird, SJW circles that it's encouraged and how many of them have children?

If you look back on history then you can see cultures where homosexuality was indirectly encouraged because it was seen as the purest form of love:
>Japan
>China
>Ancient Greece
>Siwa

If your timeline to Europe then it's largely accurate, but it was actually during the Renaissance that homosexuality cause people to chimp out. I think it was a backlash against it being normalised by people seeing how the classical world viewed it.

The first English legislation that banned homosexuality was the Buggery Act of 1533. Prior to this, people turned a blind eye and if it was punished then the Church took responsibility.

hahahahah yeah no homo but i'd fug dat tight boi pussi hahahaha

It's Roman roots. Rome did it, Byzantium did it, and the ottomans did it. If anything it's the sign of the legacy of the Roman Empire

>>2838396
This is correct.

In societies where you hide women out of sight and men do not know women until they marry them in their late twenties, young men turn to homosex and pederasty.

People usually do not know how hidden Ancient Greek women were.
- Women weren't allowed out of the house
- Women weren't allowed to go to the theater or sporting events
- Women were married away when reaching puberty, so there were basically no young unmarried women.
- Servants gathered water, did shopping, and other female chores that required women to go outside

Meanwhile young boys did naked wrestling, bathing, etc. with other boys and older men all day long.

they were, in their defauts, a warior culture and a culture of slavers, notions of submission and domminance were so explicitly ingrained into everiday life that they didnt even notice theres anything problematic about it, and islam served perfectly to agravate this

in other words it was a culture in which subordination to a military hierarchy was the basis of society and harems, child soldiers and teenage eunuchs were a normal thing, among others

cultures like that have a lot of pederastry and general sodomy going on, as a norm

In Anciant Greece women were sufficiently emancipated or how could Xantippa pour piss on Sokrates. Oh and hetairas

If the oprresion of women is respondible for the rise of homosexuality, than why were pederasty and homosexuality almost non-existent in Afghanistan when Taliban was in power? It is still very rare and is severely punished in areas controlled by Taliban and ISIS, whereas in areas controlled by the Afghan government and NATO, where women are significantly less oppressed, such pratices are more widespread.

>>2838633
>than why were pederasty and homosexuality almost non-existent in Afghanistan when Taliban was in power?

thats wrong tho, they buttfucked everithing that moved

but they werent supposed to so it didnt happen ever

>>2838644
>thats wrong tho, they buttfucked everithing that moved

Ehm, no? One of the primary reasons why Taliban became so popular was because they have virtually eliminated bacha bazi.

>>2838660

off course they did

they probably executed fuck knows how many people for being fags and enforced that as they enforced all other forms of hyper-puritanic autism like bans on music and sanctioning the use of colors etc...

but, dont be naive, i mean, things like that dont just dissapear overnight especialy in a state of civil war or religious despotism

the catholic church is the most sexualy conservative and anti-homo organisation on the planet for fuck sake, look at what they get up to when no ones looking, that tells you something

>>2837115
>Spartans
>empire
Pick one. I'd hardly call brief spartan hegemony an empire.

>>2836619
Turks reproduce from anal sex, so the whole non-procreative angle doesn't apply to them.

>>2838734

they were the best korea of acient greece

>a couple of fags paint homosexual images
>a few hundred years later
>"look guys back then everyone was a huge faggot"

That would be like people of the future thinking that everyone in the 2000s was homosexual because of all the videos of gay parades

>>2838782

actualy those are caricatures illustrating comical events or parodies, or they had propaganda purposes, defamating someone or laughing at some group of people

notice the guys bloving the trumpets, they arent providing porn music, they are alerting evrione they found a couple fags buttfucking to shame them
