'Pick-up artist' banned from the UK

[Steve Waltz]

Banning him to a remote island which inhabits only wildlife wouldn't even be good enough.

Banning him to a remote island with only Lorena Bobbitt would be best, I think.

The guy is a sleaze ball; it?s nice to know the UK is sticking it to this jerk. This guy is losing money because he can?t do his ?tours,? and that?s something very pleasing. That fact that this guy makes money telling men how to sexually assault random women is appalling.

On the other hand, it?s bad news for Jeremy Kyle. Kyle could have a lot more interesting shows if Blanc was allowed to tour the UK and spread his ?tactics? about (like a plague).

]Ah, yes, I heard of this guy. He made those videos teaching white men how to pick up Japanese women... by pushing their heads into his crotch while saying "Pikachu!" (With clips of him doing it,) and who's twitter account is filled with such lovely comments like...

And so much more.

So yeah... I can safely say I feel no sympathy towards this man and think he doesn't deserve to even look at a woman let alone teach other men how to pick them up.

That's fucking disgusting. Where is Dexter when you need him?

OT: The guy's a creep, I wouldn't let him back in the US. Can we just kind of dump him somewhere in the pacific where he can't hurt anyone anymore?

They tried, but the UK turned him away. *ba dum ch*

Anyway, people need to stop telling Julien Blanc to curb his libido.

Instead, people need to teach women how to say 'no' and then stick with their decision.

Julien's actions cannot be justified.

I admit, I laughed.

And I agree with you on this part.

 

[MetalShadowChaos]

I hope he gets systematically banned from everywhere.

To the point where he will one day be sat huddled up in a sailboat in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, no landmass willing to accept his presence, on his last ounce of supplies and wondering what he did wrong.

Then a police boat comes by.

"Sir, there has been a petition and the Atlantic Ocean government has been formed specifically to extradite you."

Then they shoot his boat.

He sinks to the bottom of the ocean (weighed down by his sins), where he is subsequently extradited from Atlantis and the various layers of the Earth. He dies confused in the Earth's core.

I'd love to kick him in his gonads with my steel toed boots. I'm not exactly someone who is violent but Julien asks for it.

 

[Dr. Thrax]

Oh boy, unfortunately, I doubt he'd be barred from re-entering the US, even though it'd be nice to not have him scurrying about here...
This douchebag actually advocates forcibly shoving her face into your crotch, and choking her as "acceptable pick-up techniques".
His own quote about women in Japan "If you?re a white male, you can do what you want. I?m just romping through the streets, just grabbing girls? heads, just like, head, pfft on the dick."
He's an utter cockstain and should have been the one his mother swallowed.
He attempted an apology at some point, but it was half-assed, as usual.

 

[Lieju]

And women should be allowed to make those decisions without being pressured.
And those 'bad situations' shouldn't exist in the first place!

"Pressure" and "bad situations" are a part of life and living in a socially interactive society, irregardless of gender.

Everything from peer pressure and bullying to walking down a dark street in a rough neighborhood carry cause-effect, consequences, and responsibilities on all sides.

Am I saying this lech is free from all guilt and responsibility? Fuck no. But neither are the women in these situations.

In any social environment, the people you interact with are under no obligation to be your friend. And it's each person's responsibility on how and to what extend they are willing to interact with the other person.

That's called "equality". And it used to be what feminism stood for.

Yeah, I know, I'm just a horrible man-hating feminazi for thinking pressuring and harassing women to have sex is bad.

 

[Poetic Nova]

Julien's actions cannot be justified.

Of course not.

But neither are the actions of the women who agree to sleep with him.

From my understanding, they aren't doing it voluntarely.

 

[Dagda Mor]

Or maybe people shouldn't pressure women into saying "yes" and get angry and call them a slut or prude for saying "No" to sex and trying to make them feel bad about it or psychologically scare them? I dunno, maybe that would help too.

Well, I'd much rather be called a "prude" than submit to having sex with someone I don't like.

When did women suddenly become incapable of making their own decisions and walking away from bad situations? When did they stop having to take responsibility for their own actions?

Women who readily submit to a man's demands? Why aren't feminists up in arms against these women for setting such a bad example?

Some people are just weak and vulnerable. Saying that they deserve whatever fucked up shit happens to them is disgusting. And I seriously doubt that what this guy puts them through helps them build character--he targets these people specifically because he knows that they won't do anything about it.

 

[GrumbleGrump]

I was going to ask why exactly was so bad about a pickup artist getting into the UK, till I saw this.

So yeah, fuck 'im.

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

I don't like the idea of banning someone from your country just because you disagree with his views. He's just another bullshit artist who suckers people out of their money to listen to his 'wisdom' just this time with a sexist twist why should we fuss over him so much?

A comparison that has been building in my mind is the following:

Imagine if there was a weak man with a massive attitude problem that meant he enjoyed beating people up. But because of his weakness, he roamed the streets looking for people in crutches, with their arms in casts, or in wheelchairs because he could beat them up easily. And then taught other people how to spot people who are vulnerable.

Saying "ah, we should teach the people who he attacks to be better at self defense. Maybe they are just masochists, why else would they let themselves be beaten up" is completely missing the point. Anyone who said would clearly need to sit down and think about what it is like to vulnerable. Mental vulnerability is as reals as physical vulnerability, and claiming that they are "encouraging" this by being "too weak" is ridiculous.

Psychologically vulnerable people (of all genders) should be looked after, and not given an equal share of "blame" for the consequences of people picking them out and harassing them. As has already been mentioned, this man teaches men to identify and pursue women who will be the easiest to control. This is, as has already been said, indefensible.

Are you calling women weak and vulnerable? You fucking misogynist.

Sorry mate, "people" is not gendered. Vulnerable men get taken advantage of too. But that is not the current topic.

 

[chikusho]

Here are some of the reasons your visa can be denied in the UK:


?...evidence of any adverse

behaviour (using deception including false representation, fraud, forgery, non-disclosure of material facts or failure to cooperate)
character, conduct or associations (criminal history, deportation order, travel ban, exclusion, non-conducive to public good, national security)
immigration history (breaching conditions, using deception in an application).?

Move along people, there's nothing to see here.

 

[Quellist]

Its utter bullshit IMO. This guy isn't a criminal, he's just an utter creep and to bow to pressure groups demanding he not be let in is the worst kind of populist politics. Dont like him? let him in and the firs time he attempts to assault a woman imprison him, follow the fucking rule of law not trial by media! Not to mention the last government was happy to let a convicted rapist like Mike Tyson into the country...

Dammit. You're wrecking my rant with your confounded logic and reading... skills.

I was going to come back with, "And not all men are predatory sleazeballs who take sexual advantage of other people."

But still, maybe some progress has been made here. Though I'm still a bit bitter, having worked for years supporting and assisting "second-wave" feminism only to have "third-wave" feminism condemn and berate me just for having a penis.

Granted, there are "feminists" out there who will do so, and will claim that all men are "potential rapists". I haven't seen any of them here, however. In any case, many of your statements here have come across as less defending being male (which, I, being a man, will do to my dying breath), and more defending... This guy in particular.

Unless you feel that this guy's behaviour is a fundamental characteristic of being male (in which case, we should be having a very different conversation), trying to spread responsibility between him and the women going about their business that he singles out based on his assessment of their vulnerability and then harasses is very different from defending masculinity. Sorry man, it is just not the right tack to take.
