I don't know for sure but "send gay nudes or get drafted" sounds a little gay.

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

"I'm not gay, but I need to you take some gay photos for me"

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

Pumpkin, it's not just any gay nudes of yourself. It's gay nudes with very specific asks. The kinds of asks you might expect from a patron of your OnlyFans account. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

There's something wrong with it if there's a threat involved.

[-] Einskjaldi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I think it's like the bear hunter joke where you have to keep resubmitting it for even more clear close up photos.

My Turkish friend says there's a running joke of "The Turkish military has the largest gay porn collection in the world"

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

it reflects that on the online porn sites

[-] aurelar@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 week ago

So apparently tops aren't gay?

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

iirc greeks like Spartans looked at it this way. funny how people feel the need to make distinctions, we're a strange species.

[-] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

apparently it is a whole cultural thing. it ties in to why male homosexuality is talked about in the bible and lesbians were not. without an obvious "top" it wasnt worth discussing.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah this is what really stood out to me! Like wtf??

[-] Xenny@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Finally an ethical application for generative AI

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Sounds like Turkish military recruiters have a bit of a fetish ...

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 12 points 1 week ago

Apparently it's the gay man that takes it, not the gay man that gives it in Turkey. Wild.

[-] Demdaru@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Meh, just archaic. In ye olde times it wasn't gay to fuck, it was gay to be fucked. Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, modern times Turkey, etc.

The hat stays ON during whatever the fuck this is.

Totally not gay.

The Roman attitude still persists in the region, I guess?

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

Romans fucked up everything from beyond the thomb. The echoes of corruption ring into eternity...

Military recruiters:
Someone getting hit in the face by a dozen hotdogs

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

And the photos must show you as the passive partner

So I guess you and your partner have to switch positions and each have a photo to get out of it. No two for one!

[-] frostysauce@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

So I can't be gay if I'm the one sucking dick?

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Not according to them!

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

You hear that?! It's only gay if your recieve so you can pound as many man-ass's your dick can handle!

[-] Poojabber@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Historically speaking, this isnt wrong.... Im not a historian, but I think its recorded that alexander the great and Julius Ceasar were known to bang dudes, but it wasnt considered gay back then because giving dick wasnt gay, only receiving was...

Alternative explanation - the Turkish army is okay with gays as long as they are dominant.

Which... strangely makes sense.

[-] desertdruid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

even between heteronormative gays that logic is normal and that's why i despise them any time they belittle bottoms

[-] nullify3112@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I mean we’re not going to explain bottom shaming to the Turkish military but the bottom does not have to be sub. Dom bottom is absolutely a thing.

[-] fallaciousBasis@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Military: Recruiting soldiers. Sorry, no power bottoms.

Soldiers: awwwww :'(

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Nah, it says to be excluded you have to be the "passive partner" so power bottoms are still allowed.

But what if I get pegged by my gf? Does that count?

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

Inquiring minds want to know.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

We need the pics. For Turkey.

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Gobble gobble.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 9 points 1 week ago

Of course the clerical class wants gay porn "for research purposes".

The all-holy ones, who only do holy things to their altar boys.

The 301st Power Bottom Division was a decorated outfit before the Turkish military instituted this policy.

I am a bisexual guy from Turkey, this is old news.

From what I heard these days you just go to a psychiatrist and act a bit gay. Then if the psych is not an asshole they give you something called "pink certificate" which makes you exempt from military service.

But like, I would give my nudes to the government if it means not doing military service. Nobody can make me serve for any country

My compulsory service is currently on hold because I am studying in university. Me and my boyfriend are planning to go the the military psychiatrist together to get pink certificates for both of us. Once we finish uni and gtfo of family home ofc
