Having interacted with him a couple times on the bluebird site.

He rubbed me the wrong way MANY times. He's also talked about about like he knows the shit but is just all fundamentally wrong.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with this asshole.

RJ has a helluva ego for sure.

glarnboudin.bsky.social•59 days ago

Yeah he's been trying to write me off as some conspiracy theorist for years, up to and including stalking my dA profile.

brandonpilcher.bsky.social•59 days ago

Working at the AMNH sounds awesome to me. How are you enjoying it?

This grownass man has been covertly stalking me for YEARS now, up to and including harassing me in Xitter DMs, turning random Discord servers upside down to look for me, and threatening people who don't turn me over.

A man who allegedly had a job has spent YEARS of his trying to ruin mine.

I have seen with my own eyes RJ repeatedly harassing a YouTube content creator who dared critique the accuracy of the T. rex he designed for the Saurian game. The dude needs to get a life.

And the thing is, EVERYBODY in the community is aware of this to some extent. Just about everybody I've talked to in the paleoart community has an RJ Story. From doxxing to talking about his lactation kink in VCs to servers full of minors, you could write a book about it all.

And yet... people just kinda let him do it? For some reason, people listen to him. Why?
Because he drew some animals with Pokemon colors?
Because he uses a few brushes to create the illusion of detail? Because he worked on a movie and was so awful to everyone else that he got blacklisted?

And of all the people who've talked shit about him, he focuses on little old me - some guy with a fraction of his follower count, who cannot possibly compete with him in any way, and who's over a decade younger than him. I was in high school when he first started pestering me.

Why?

glarnboudin.bsky.social•59 days ago

Well, I'm an easy target - I don't post much, and my content is writing-based. Not good for algorithms or for zoomer attention spans; it's easy to write me off.

Plus I'll admit, I was a bit of a shit years ago. Except, well... that was over a decade ago.

I've grown up; I've gotten a degree, I've worked three jobs at once. I've met with paleontologists, visited labs, done field work.

What has RJ done? Evidently, not much aside from remain the same manchild he was when he first told me that my passion for paleontology wasn't 'real'.
