2ch Responds To ‘Pick Up Artist’ Julien Blanc’s Japan Trip

The news that controversial “pick-up artist” Julien Blanc will be coming to Japan has not been well received.

In a recent Japan Times article, Jake Adelstein reminded readers of Blanc’s previous statements regarding Japanese women, which include: “If you’re a white male in Tokyo, you can do what you want. I’m just romping through the streets, just grabbing girls’ heads, just like, head, pfft on the dick, head on the dick, yelling, ‘Pikachu,’ with a Pikachu shirt (on)”.

Adelstein’s article was shared widely among the English-speaking community in Japan, and soon became the subject of a bi-lingual petition on online petition site change.org.

Here, we bring you selected comments from a 2ch.net thread discussing the petition and Blanc’s upcoming trip to Japan.

Julien Blanc, White Guy Who Endorses Sexually Assaulting Japanese Women, Scheduled To Come To Japan (Pictures And Videos)

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします: [OP]

There will soon be over 30,000 signatures on this, but do you think the Ministry of Justice will do anything about it?

This is a petition asking the Ministry Of Justice to prevent “Pick Up Artist” Julien Blanc, who said in his seminar that “If you’re a white guy you can sleep with any Japanese woman”, from entering Japan.

In Australia, there was opposition from the hotel he was scheduled to hold his seminar at, and floods of protests toward the Australian Bureau of Immigration.

Signatures are building on petition site change.org.

He’s coming to Japan soon.

And by the way, his Australian visa was canceled.

This guy is making on these seminars.

The last part of this video is horrible.

How does one go about participating in these seminars?

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします: [in response to above]

It looks like anyone can participate if they pay.
That’s how this bastard makes his living.
The only thing is, you have to go to a country where white guys are holding these seminars.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

Honestly, those stupid girls who are so easily drawn in by people like him are the ones at fault here.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします: [in response to above]

Exactly.
But the fact that this is being advertised through the world is a bit…you know…

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします: [in response to above]

But this is just the same as those Japanese guys who go for Filipinos or Thais, if you Google it you get loads of hits.
Even if you’re only making a public example of this guy he’s no different from the others.

以下、\(^o^)/: [in response to above]

Are Japanese people attractive to Filipinos and Thais?
I’m going to the Philippines soon, so I’m interested to know.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

Good job Australia. Pot calling the kettle black.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

Seems like half the other countries in Asia would react in the same way as Japanese women do to this though..

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

I’m surprised that white guys are interested in Japanese women.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします: [in response to above]

If you watch the video of his seminar you’ll realize what I mean, but he doesn’t think they’re human — or even monkeys.
He just sees women as holes.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

If he did this on the train, those women would kick off because he’s groper, what’s the difference?
They really are shit.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします: [in response to above]

I guess that they can’t get angry because they’re scared.
I mean, it’s precisely at times like this when the extreme right and the right wing, who are usually prattling on about bravery, should be doing protests.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

Even if you are white, if any of these apply to you — fat, bald, short and chubby, or have B.O. — then the girls are still not going to go for you.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします: [in response to above]

Fatties aside,
if the bald ones are skin heads then they’d be ok.
If you’re short and chubby, then at least you’d be taller than a Japanese girl.
And when it comes to B.O, there have always been lots of Westerners with that, so that’s permissible.
The hurdles are pretty low for foreigners to pass through women’s filters.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

It’ll be enough if the police keep an eye out for him.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

Online Japanese women have a lot of attitude,
but if you put them in front of a white guy they just shrink into themselves and have these forced smiles on their faces the whole time.
They’re weak even if they get their head forced into someone’s crotch.
The women around her are also weak fools.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

Aaah.
First time I heard about this.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

If you try searching it looks like this guy has been slated in countries other than Australia too.

Guess Japan is his last paradise, eh?
He also talks about “Japan” clearly by name, too.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

The people getting it done to them look happy enough, what’s the problem?

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

I don’t usually hate much on women, but
because of these trashy bitches Japan is now being made a fool of by a foreigner, so I’m pretty pissed off.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします: [in response to above]

I also think that the Japanese women who didn’t report him are at fault.
In the last part of that video he’s treating the convenience store clerk with contempt the whole time, but if she didn’t report him to the police for that, then it’s the same level as those gropers who cause hell on the Saikyo Line.
BTW, the thing I’m most concerned about is what the Ministry of Justice will actually say when this petition has many tens of thousands of signatures.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

This is just a matter of it would be better if the Japanese guys would actually stop that jackass when she’s getting molested by him.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします: [in response to above]

Yeah but if the girl herself likes it, what you gonna do?

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

We Japanese guys also do pretty coercive things when we’re flirting in clubs, and I think that that the gist of what this guy is saying is right as far as flirting goes.
But it troubles me that he’d advertise it.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

Did they just realize that white people look down on other ethnicities?
This has been going on for centuries.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします: [in response to above]

This isn’t about him looking down on the yellow races, this is about him
having a seminar that targets Japanese women.

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

That “Pikachuu” thing is just way too idiotic…
Any girl who got taken in by that must be such an imbecile…

以下、\(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

I did think that those girls are just idiots, but if there was just one among them who was scared and couldn’t say no, then I feel sorry for her. Even if it was just one.
Decent girls go out in Shibuya on the weekend, and if you’re not interested in someone, then if they touch your body in any way it is sexual harassment.
