About

Nash Grier is a video blogger known for his active presence and large following on the video-sharing mobile app Vine, where he became the most-followed user in January 2014.

History

On April 9th, 2013, Grier joined the photo-sharing site Instagram.[6] On April 16th, Grier created a feed on the video blogging service Vine,[1] where he shares short sketch videos featuring slapstick comedy, lip dubs and his fellow video blogger friends. On October 13th, a Facebook[7] fan page for Grier was launched. On the following day, The Daily Mail[4] published an article about Grier, noting that he had reached over 1.4 million Vine followers. On October 16th, Grier was interviewed on the television program Inside Edition (shown below).

The same day, ABC News[12] published an article about the video blogger, noting he had eclipsed celebrities Ellen DeGeneres, Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber in Vine followers. On November 26th, Redditor lou_sassil submitted a screenshot of several insulting direct messages from Grier to the /r/teenagers[10] subreddit (shown below).

On December 5th, Grier launched his personal Tumblr[5] blog. On December 19th, MTV[3] listed Grier as one of the best Viners of 2013. On December 20th, an entry for Grier was created on Urban Dictionary.[8] On January 16th, 2014, Grier became the most popular Vine blogger in the world with over five million followers.[2] In addition, Grier had accumulated upwards of 2.2 million Instagram followers, 1.05 million Twitter followers and 960,000 Facebook likes. On January 20th, Grier uploaded a video to YouTube in which he and several other video bloggers attempt to remain speechless for 2 minutes (shown below).

Controversy

On December 20th, 2013, Grier uploaded a video to YouTube in which he and fellow Viners Cameron Dallas and JC Caylen discuss a list of traits and qualities they find attractive in the opposite sex (shown below). In the video, they also mull over certain things that they find unattractive in a rather mocking tone, criticizing women with "fake tits," girls who are “obnoxious and loud” and those who refuse to shave their body hair.

Five days later, the original upload of the video was removed after being heavily criticized for being offensive to women. Before it was removed, YouTubers Hank Green and Lamarr Wilson left comments denouncing the video as irresponsible (shown below).

Hank Green minute ago I understand why this is not immediately obvious to you. But this is a really problematic way to talk about women, especially considering that your audience is mostly young women. Implied in a lot of what you're saying is that women exist to appeal to you, and the young women who look up to you and watch your videos will begin to see themselves that way. I know it doesn't seem like it to you, but telling women that they have to shave their arm hair to appeal to you isn't just offensive, it's actually abusive. It's a terrible thing to say to a person... let alone a collection of 300,000 people. You have a responsibility with your newfound audience. There are a lot of people paying attention to what you say, and you have the power to make them feel better about themselves or worse about themselves. Consider what impact you want to have before you make a video like this. And, in a perfect world, consider taking this video down and uploading an apology.
Lamarr Wilson commented on a video on YouTube. Shared publicly-9:40 PM If you didn't have an audience of 300K, we prob would overlook this video, but you have 300K MOSTLY teen girls watching you, and they want to please you. It's not cool telling them they HAVE to change their appearance for YOU Not cool at all. At least take the criticism you're getting to heart: we don't hate you; we want you to think on a wider scope.

Homophobia Controversy

On April 11th, 2014, Vine user MuneraIsFab[13] uploaded a Vine clip[18] created by Nash Grier which he has since deleted, which features a PSA for HIV testing and ends with Grier yelling "fag." Within three months the Vine gained over 1.4 millions loops.

The Vine clip gained more attention when popular gay YouTuber Tyler Oakely tweeted[14] it out followed by another tweet critizing Grier's homophobia and the spreading of misinformation about HIV. Within 48 hours Oakely's first tweet gained over 7,000 retweets and over 14,000 favorites.

I wanna say that im sorry for my earlier comment. In my first comment I was defending this kid because in context I thought it was one joke he made up on the spot and he realized how stupid he was and took it down,

That was until I read another sites coverage of this that showed some of his super homophobic tweets. No fuck this kid, this little shit head deserves no petty from anyone. This is not one “joke” video this kid is actually very very homophobic and arrogant.

I seriously regret ever defending this little millennial sack of shit after reading what hes actually about. Please update the page with some of his tweets

Ugh…
