JAPAN : Two things we can do : The #TakeDownJulienBlanc movement really started when US activist Jennifer Li reacted to the unbelievably racist, misogynist rape-training video White Male F#cks Asian Women In Tokyo (And The Beautiful Methods To It). Amongst the choking methods, random grabbing of women, pushing their heads into his crotch and calling out Pikachu! Pikachu, he said “In Tokyo if youre a white male you can do what you want. Well, a lot of Japanese people and others think that hes a white male that needs to be kept out of the country. We threw him out of Australia, so now lets help keep him away from the pushing his white supremacy and rape tactics onto the people of Japan. Hes due to perform in Tokyo next week, November 15-17. * The Japanese petition is gathering steam, click the link below, sign/share, pass it to any networks you have here, in Japan, and elsewhere. * There was also a call from Anonymous (though with some internal dissent, apparently) to write to local Japanese embassies. This actually sounds like a good idea, as theyre more likely to bother to read letters in English than anything we send to Japan, and are required to pass on reports. The email for the Japanese embassy in Australia is [email protected] If youre feeling lazy, heres a rough text Ive put together : Dear Japanese Consultate - You are probably aware that so-called pick-up artist Julien Blanc (of Real Social Dynamics) had his Australian visa taken away on Thursday, and was forced to leave Australia. You may or may not be aware that he is holding training seminars in Tokyo next week : November 15-17. Blancs profile was raised considerably after publicity surrounding his video White male f*cks Asian women in Tokyo (And the beautiful methods to it!); in which he talks of walking around Tokyo, grabbing women indiscriminately on the street, forcing their heads towards his crotch, and calling out pikachu! pickachu!. In the video, he says that “In Tokyo if youre a white male you can do what you want. In these proposed English-language seminars in Tokyo next week, he will continue to teach his racism, continue to teach his notions of white supremacy, continue to teach his methods of physical restraint (including choking women), and continue to teach his contempt for Japanese women and all women. I urge you to contact the Japanese government and urge them cancel his entry into Japan. Please be aware that Julien Blanc is a stage name, and his real name is not known at this stage, though either the Australian government or Victoria Police should have this information. You can see the (renamed) video in question here : https://youtube/watch?v=OBAdTYSy4M0 You can see the Tokyo dates at this page realsocialdynamics/shop.asp?group=1 There is a free workshop scheduled for November 15, and a bootcamp scheduled for November 15-17, although no locations are given. I hope you are able to take this action in order to protect Japanese women, Yours Sincerely, xxxx Email to [email protected]
