Lot of people around the world are already investing significant funds to discover the “right one,” such as paying for premium memberships on dating websites or, in a country like India, subscribing to paid services on matrimonial websites.

i'm watching this documentary about this cult that convinced cis people to transition because they are homophobic and don't believe homosexuality exists... this is the pro-trans homophobic sex cult j.k. rowling is scared of

#pointlesspointless #the documentary is called escaping twin flames #and jsyk all the moms of these people are using their children's current pronouns and being respectful of their current gender identify #and the documentary has actual LGBT people on it saying yeah these people are dictating people's gender and sexuality #so you know this documentary isn't just spinning it a specific way

Recount of Documentaries I Watched in 2023

This year I also watched a couple of documentaries, mostly about actors and singers. They were really interesting. I also watched the documentary about Antonia, a student from the University of Puerto Rico who was killed during a student protest. I watched it with my dad who had been studying in that campus when it happened.

Tell it in one sentence! Escaping Twin Flames

Oh, look, if we're to believe this new release, here's a guy who thinks harmonious relationships mean constant mind-blowing sex even if one party says no (totally not controlling), who builds an entire online school, and further a religion on his claimed gift to find your perfect partner, the true you, and thus the solution to your whole life (totally not a cult), you only have to do as he says and blame yourself if you don't succeed (totally not a bully), and you have to work for him in his business model of preying on vulnerable women at the cost of overwriting their core identities, sorry, in finding new members for the community (totally not an MLM system); and look, here's an important documentary on said man and his wife!, full of tear-jerking, cliffhangers, and more Netflix trickery so that you can delve deeper and deeper into this narrative until you receive some form of catharsis (totally not docutainment).

Have you watched Desperately Seeking Soulmate or looked into the Twin Flames Universe cult? It's basically the apotheosis of what you were talking about in that "soulmates are inherently authoritarian" post

I saw the Escaping Twin Flames documentary; and yes, it basically is. Like, telling people that they shouldn't worry about restraining orders, telling people who weren't even trans that they had to transition in order to fulfill the leader's fucked up heteronormative ideals, and all the shit they pulled, it was just... yikes. The twin flame concept is an especially fucked up take on soulmates already (just look up the runner/chaser dynamic), and this guy made the whole thing even worse.

I have mixed feelings on the twin flame documentary that came out on Netflix.. I am somewhat happy more people will be familiar with the term but I don’t feel like they went into the WHY behind psychological addiction to a human/love/this specific belief system. Because the belief is that if you unite and heal, you will have found the closest thing to magic you could find on earth. They focused more so on the extreme byproducts of one specific cult. I don’t think it’s a bad series or that they shouldn’t have made it but I was hoping to find a sense of visibility in it. I was entirely (and secretly) devoted to a man I believe to be my tf for about 3 years but was never an active part of a community or group. Just an extreme consumer of tarot videos (5+ hrs daily) and “spiritual” guidance - aka manipulative snakes preying on those with no realized purpose in life. I spent every second of my life for years devoted and in extreme emotional distress/obsession which manifested itself into a drawn out form of psychosis/erotomania. I would travel in astral realms and do past life regressions and meet this man’s soul who told me stories of detailed trauma and I believed all of it. My only purpose was to merge with this human and create and help evolve the universe. I feel extremely pathetic for having slipped into the twin flame world and for wasting years of my life but I thought it was the ultimate truth/purpose of my life. When I share with others that I was in a twin flame psychosis for years they have no idea what I really mean, and still won’t really have a good idea if they watched that docuseries.. I am waiting for more and more books and docs to surface over the next few years as the masses are realizing the truth - that this concept does not exist on a large scale, if at all. And that it is a prison/form of addiction and escapism. To minds that are not susceptible to magical thinking I am sure the entirety of this twin flame stuff looks absolutely idiotic

If you are interested in cults, I highly recommend the documentary “Escaping twin flames” on Netflix. Spiritual YouTube couple turned multi level marketing scam turned high-control cult with arranged marriages and forced heteronormative gender transitions. Terrifying but definitely worth watching

I don't enjoy bingewatching fiction, but sometimes I go on a tear and watch like six docuseries in one week. Here are some recommendations and non-recs for things I watched in the last two weeks! I've included trigger warnings under the cut but kept that kind of thing non-explicit.

Highly recommended:

The Billionaire, the Butler, and the Boyfriend (L'Affaire Bettencourt: Scandale chez la femme la plus riche du monde) (Netflix)

The English title of this French-language documentary about Liliane Bettencourt is godawful (he wasn't even her boyfriend???), but it was riveting. I LOVED how they let the story unfold and the totally unexpected places it went. Highly recommended if you're interested in modern French culture.

PSA for English speakers: What I need you to do is turn the audio track to French and the subtitles to English (NOT British English [CC]). The documentary's dubbing is incredibly distracting and poorly translated, and the British English [CC] subtitles are the subtitles for the English, not a translation of the French. They aren't the same, and the English sub track is a much better (though deeply imperfect) translation.

Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story (Netflix) (TW pedophilia, sexual assault)

By far the weakest thing about this documentary is that it's two episodes and not three. The pacing has some serious issues, and a lot of really interesting stuff from the end of the story gets packed into ten minutes.

BUT. I did think it was excellently made. It lets the story breathe and builds the horror of the fact that he told everyone what he was doing gradually. Really scary stuff.

Fine

Desperately Seeking Soulmate: Escaping Twin Flames Universe (Amazon Prime) (TW homophobia, transphobia, coercion)

It's very much a "Damn, you see that shit? That was crazy" documentary without a huge amount of deep analysis. I don't really have any substantive complaints about this documentary and I cried a little at the end. It just wasn't the best one I watched this week.

Iffy

Keep Sweet: Pray & Obey (Netflix) (TW pedophilia, sexual assault, forced marriage, incest)

Keep Sweet is a good documentary that's well-made; it chooses its subjects well, and though they're all out of the cult, they have different opinions about what happened and different roles in what went down.

However, if you're the kind of person who'd watch this four hour documentary series, you probably already know a little about FLDS. If you already know about FLDS, you will know that Rachel Jeffs is one of the faces of anti-FLDS. She's not in this documentary, and I don't understand why. Not to get too in the weeds of what Warren Jeffs actually did, but Rachel made a series of accusations in her book about FLDS that go far beyond what he was tried for, and which to my knowledge haven't been challenged by other survivors. The story falls flat without those accusations, because you miss a crucial component in his characterization (which again I will not discuss here, because it's fuckin gross). The story never addresses her, her book, or those allegations. It feels like internecine BS. If you haven't read Breaking Free, you'll probably like this documentary more than someone who has.

Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist (Netflix) (TW murder, non-graphic mentions of sexual violence, mental illness)

So this is a well paced and obviously very well researched documentary, though there are a couple of connections I wish they'd made. This documentarian also feels uniquely equipped to tell this story due to the length of his association with the subject (and tbh, that would have been the better film).

However. The fact that the subject has bipolar disorder is central to the film. While I would say that the filmmaker ultimately doesn't make directly ableist statements about the subject, the whole nature of the film's treatment of mental illness is underpinned by an ableist worldview. The filmmaker expresses repeated surprise that the subject was so intelligent and so good in school but also has bipolar disorder, and like... my man the research into a potential correlation is inconclusive but bipolar disorder has been anecdotally been linked to high intelligence since before bipolar was a thing. People thinking mentally ill people are much more clever than they actually are just because they're erratic is fully its own trope.

This is finally addressed head on in the last episode where a judge basically says "cool mental illness, still murder" during a sentencing, but the filmmaker fails to engage with that in any meaningful way. It fully feels like if you told this man he should have had a real bipolar person do a sensitivity read of his script, he would be STUNNED that that was a possibility. There's an attempt to connect the unknowable crime with the unknowable psyche and like. I'm pretty sure you could have got a lot closer to knowing if you'd just asked somebody. (Like me, maybe. My rates are reasonable.)

Anyway I did finish it despite all that, because it was pretty good. I feel like this film also got screwed by Netflix's marketing team wrt its title and branding? Because like... that's not what it's about and it prejudices the viewer pretty badly? If you put someone in the thumbnail then set up multiple parties in a "which one lied", not so great.

Skip it

Escaping Twin Flames Universe (Netflix)

Yes, this is a different documentary than Amazon Prime. They use different informants, and I think they must have been made by different creative teams. I got maybe ten minutes into the Netflix one, which is an incredibly overproduced, schlocky mess. Just tell me about the cult.
