Ottomeme Sultan LGBT history (ArchonOfFlesh)

I have to say, I did not expect one dude to have material for, let alone make, so many gay Ottoman memes.

Longing for twinks so bad it makes you question your religion is ye olden pipeline.

I wish these were in the (age appropriate) little aside boxes in history textbooks.

Must have been a bad breakup:

Selim I wanted to use the Ottoman Empire’s central location to completely cut the ties between Shah Ismail’s Safavid Empire and the rest of the world.

Shah Ismail received revenue via customs duties, therefore after the war to demonstrate his commitment to their thorny rivalry, Selim I halted trade with the Safavids[61]—even at the expense of his empire’s own silk industry and citizens.
