Were there finns in the imperial swedish army?

Sweden was never imperial or an empire, simply a small kingdom.

no they were used as sex slaves that is why you see so many gay anime posters with finnish flags

Not in great numbers, but probably some, like in every army you can find people from distant places. Mercenaries for hire etc.

I don't think this is what happened. Sweden actively oppressed Finland whereas Russia gave them near-complete autonomy for almost the entire duration of their rule there.

Finland was NOT A COUNTRY UNTIL 1900S. they were eastern swedes before russia nothing else
