Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie describes how in young people today she notices something ‘troubling’:

“…a cold-blooded grasping, a hunger to take and take and take, but never give; a massive sense of entitlement; an inability to show gratitude; an ease with dishonesty and pretension and selfishness that is couched in the language of self-care; an expectation always to be helped and rewarded no matter whether deserving or not; language that is slick and sleek but with little emotional intelligence; an astonishing level of self-absorption; an unrealistic expectation of puritanism from others; an over-inflated sense of ability, or of talent where there is any at all; an inability to apologize, truly and fully, without justifications; a passionate performance of virtue that is well executed in the public space of Twitter but not in the intimate space of friendship.

I find it obscene.” 

"...demons always try to direct the fashionable outcry of each generation against those vices of which it is least in danger.”  CS Lewis

"...we ought never to bear a grudge against people,   ought never to judge them by some memory of an unkind action, for we do not know all the good that, at other moments, their hearts may have sincerely desired and realized. And thus, even simply from the point of view of prediction, one is mistaken. For doubtless the evil aspect which we have noted once and for all will recur; but the heart is richer than that, has many other aspects which will recur also in the same person and which we refuse to acknowledge because of his earlier behaviour." Marcel Proust

The term “wokeness” identifies our hypersensitive, invasive, censorious, punitive, and pedantically moralizing social and political order—a scheme that divides groups against one another in the name of “social justice.” Its questionableness is signalled by the many ways it breaks with our liberal-democratic constitutional tradition: it champions the identities of groups, not the rights of individuals; it obliterates the boundary between public and private; it harnesses the state to legislate morality, not to protect liberty; it demands respect and is dissatisfied with mere toleration; and it stirs people up where the liberal tradition tries to calm them down. It has upended our understanding of something as basic to human life as “sex” or “gender".

 John 8:7 (King James Version)

 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

LukasMovie has also a couple of playlists featuring a string of short movies as well as an unfinished but subbed webseries The Gift Of Youth.

LEE entertainment has a short movie Maybe? apparently worth the watch but only with bad auto generated subs.

CAMBODIAN (KHMER) BL

Information about Cambodian bls are difficult to find and after scouring the web for an hour all I could come up with is SastraFilm, a streaming platform which also produces movies amongst which a number of BL and GL series you can watch in their app. Their youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@SastraPlus/featured gives you a little taste of these web series!

Who Am I? (Khmer: ខ្ញុំជាអ្នកណា?, Khnhŭm Chéa Neăk Na?; 2009.) is the debut Cambodian lesbian-themed tragic romance film by writer and director Khmer novelist, Phoan Phoung Bopha. The plot deals with a taboo lesbian love story about a Cambodian-American woman infatuated with a famous Cambodian actress. One of the themes is a positive view regarding homosexuality.
