![]() ![]() Cook replied to several emails and said an interview sounded “cool.” The only issue was whether “we can get calm and able to talk lol.” Later, Cook said he and Blanc would be in New York City the next night would I like to meet up? I accepted. If, as Blanc and his boss argue, these posts and videos are only for promotional purposes, what does that say about the nature of their business and the clients they serve? To find out, I contacted both Blanc and Owen Cook, the RSD cofounder. As for the Tokyo video of Blanc pulling women’s heads into his crotch, Glenn explained, “it was just a night out and he had already had a longer interaction with them. “It’s not like he’s just walking up to a woman and choking her. He called his feeds, “obnoxious shit,” “meant to shock.”īlanc’s assistant, Glenn, who says he is living proof of the transformative power of RSD’s teachings (but asked that I not use his last name), was with Blanc during the “choking” incident and said it was taken out of context. He said as much last year, before the activists and media had descended: “If you look at my Twitter, it’s really fucked,” he told one group of students. “I don’t do this, I don’t teach it,” he told Chris Cuomo. ![]() and Singapore, and Brazil, and similar efforts to ban him have been mounted in Japan and Canada.īlanc’s main argument during his only interview, a televised apology on CNN, was that his social profile isn’t an accurate representation of him or his RSD curriculum. Blanc has also been denied entry to the U.K. Venues quickly dropped RSD seminars and Australia revoked Blanc’s visa, effectively booting him from the country. It was with this ammunition that Australians organized protests at events where Blanc was scheduled to appear. I don’t care.’” he tells an audience of chuckling men. “I was like, ‘Fuck it, I’m never seeing this bitch again. In one video, Cook describes forcing sex on a “slut whore slut” whom he had been in a sexual relationship with. ![]() When the curious could no longer access videos like Blanc’s “My Girlfriend Passed Away"-The Twisted Humor That Inevitably Knifes Through To Her Panties,” attention moved on to other RSD instructors, including the company’s cofounder and president, Owen Cook (who goes by the PUA handle ‘Tyler Durden,’ after the Fight Club character). A sampling: “Times like these just make me want to choke fuck some whore behind a dumpster,” and “I’m not really like this in real life… #JustKidding”. Between Real Social Dynamics’ company-wide channel and each instructor’s personal one, there exists hundreds of videos where one is sure to find something incendiary.īlanc’s Twitter was set to private, but not before someone archived and posted what they claimed was his entire feed. Though many of Blanc’s social accounts and posts have since been deleted or made private, the Internet is, as they say, forever, and activists and looky-loos scrambled to see and save as much as they could. “If you’re a white male, you can do what you want,” Blanc tells a group of students as they watch his video and take notes. ![]() Perhaps Blanc’s most egregious act, according to Li, was a video filmed in Tokyo that shows Blanc pulling the heads of Asian women into his lap and forcing kisses on a cashier who nervously laughs and tries to pull away. Then DC activist Jennifer Li stumbled across one of Blanc’s teaching videos and started tweeting out the most offensive ones with the hashtag #TakeDownJulienBlanc. Not too long ago, Blanc and his employer, a Los Angeles-based company called Real Social Dynamics-which claims to be “the world’s largest dating coaching company, teaching roughly 1,000 programs a year to men in 70 different countries”-had been fairly unknown outside of the semi-underground subculture of PUA (“pickup artists”), men who obsessively study and practice techniques to convince women to sleep with them. If 25-year-old Swiss-American pickup artist Julien Blanc is indeed the most hated man in the world, it’s partly because he’s given his detractors such a deep well from which to draw evidence of his depravity. ![]()
