This encyclopedia records the episode as history of the industry. It does '''not''' teach Blanc's demonstrations. [[Seduction Wiki:Point of view]] puts how-to crime, harassment, and non-consensual contact out of scope. [[Enthusiastic consent]] is a real page here.

Blanc later left pickup bootcamps for broader self-help branding. He is in-scope as a named RSD instructor and as the 2014 type case, not as a method source.
