For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

Apparently one too many people called him gay over this: he posted a tiktok a short while ago saying he meant what he said and "concubine" basically means slave, apparently hoping the people who follow him don't know better.

Honestly? I 100% believe he didn't know what concubine meant. He seems like that kind of dumbass.

Maybe he picked that up in Afghanistan, warlords there keep young boys as concubines and might be disinclined to admit to a random US soldier that the boys all over their compound are sex slaves, so “slaves” is the “softer” term.

Of course, that means that this dude is a-ok with bringing slavery back, so…

Well the military does tend to take in the less smart people since they're less likely to ask questions
