Some of you may have come across the name Julien Blanc in the past few days. For those who haven’t, Julien Blanc (also goes by the name RSD Julien) is a pick up artist who works for the company Real Social Dynamics. 

I first encountered Julien over the summer when we matched on Tinder.

This was a part of our conversation:

(link to the full convo bellow)

You can see our entire interaction here: http://tindersfinestbachelors.tumblr.com/post/94731409650/just-discovered-that-julien-is-julien-blanc

By the end of the conversation I came to two conclusions: 1. Julien is a creep with LOTS of issues. 2. Julien is a man (I use the term ‘man’ lightly) who REALLY hates women.

A few weeks go by and my roommate receives the same opening message on OkCupid! Several weeks after that, a friend of mine comes across a screen grab of the exact same message posted on Facebook, but in Hebrew!

It was pretty clear that there was a site where “men” were getting these pick-up lines, so I decided, as any human with internet access would, to google Julien’s ridiculous message. Let’s just say I was not prepared for what I found. 

That’s when I discovered his full name, Julien Blanc, and the RSD community. 

The more time I spent researching Julien, the more angry and upset I became. Here’s a quick look at the conversations Julien has with girls on Tinder. Taken directly from his Facebook page where he flaunts his ability to pick up women:

Here he is lying about the death of his Father:

Exactly. Why would someone lie about that!?

Here you can see how he uses a fake rape story to gain women’s sympathy:

*PUKE*

This is clearly all one big joke to Julien. He can behave this way because he simply doesn’t see women as human beings. 

Some of you must have come across the Buzzfeed article published about Julien this week (Written by Mark Di Stefano). if you haven’t - it’s a must read.

Aside from harassing and violating women, we learn that Blanc is also a racist:

I can go on for days and days about how horrible Julien’s behaviour is, but instead, I thought I’d let his work speak for itself. Here are some tweets that I gathered from Julien’s twitter feed: (@RSDJulien)

What about now? Still reading? Upset? Furious? Unfortunately, there’s more.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTFFFFFF

CANT. EVEN.

EVERY.SINGLE.FUCKING.TIME.

I think It’d be easier to castrate you. 

… and that’s Julien Blanc for you. 

Julien’s minions will claim that he’s OBVIOUSLY kidding! OBVIOUSLY!

I think any sane person will think otherwise.

After reading Julien’s tweets, you’ve obviously asking yourself, “what can I do to shut this fucker down?”

Well, you can join the #takedownjulienblanc movement, started by Jennifer Li (@JennLi123) and help keep Julien out of your hometown. 

So far, Julien and his RSD minions have been banned from 5 different hotels, all thanks to the uproar caused by the hashtag. The website Event Brite has also cut its ties to Julien Blanc and Real Social Dynamics. 

I have one last thing to say to Julien. From me, and from women everywhere.

Dated a guy who was getting into this when we broke up (we broke up mostly because the fights over ethical differences got too much -- can you see why?) He's now all the way deep in it & it makes me sick to my stomach. I've seen this from an insider's perspective as well as an outsider's and Christ, it just makes it more obvious how misguided, damaged and dangerous this thinking is. Makes my skin crawl to think I was ever associated with somebody involved in it.

I could not be more insanely grateful to the cast & crew of Adam, who have not only set me up with some beautiful footage, but made the entire shooting process (which I loved already) an absolute delight. We even wrapped a day early, which is close to unheard of! 

Here's a still from the rushes of the film; cutting starts on the 1st and I cannot wait to see this thing put together.

Again, thank you everyone for your donations & your reblogs. This film wouldn't exist without you.

"There are girls your age that are just like me. We are the guiltless pleasures of the lonely human being. You won’t get us pregnant or have us to supper with mommy and daddy. We work under you, we work on you and we work for you. Man made us better at what we do than was ever humanly possible. If you can manage us a lift to Rouge City, all this… and much, much more, can be yours."

This is very late, but a few weeks ago we beat our $9,000 crowdfunding target by $500 ... and we did it 8 days early. Not only did I never expect to make the target, I never even imagined it might be so successful. We are two weeks away from shooting the film and everything is coming together -- we've had help from some of the best professionals I've ever worked with, and everybody is pulling together to make the film happen. Jared, our lead, is phenomenal to work with, as is our co-lead Finn, who is only 10, but as professional as any actor I've met. 

I love this film, but I love the people who have made it happen even more. I am lifted up only by those faithful & selfless enough to help me. I could never imagine what a relief & an honour it is to be supported like this.

Shout out to the Tumblr supporters, some of whom I've never even met. 

All my love.
