Anybody on here hear about the Nash Grier stuff going on over a YouTube video?
Fuck that kid. Long story short, he and his friends put up a video talking about "what guys want in girls". They were basically setting their ideal standard for a girl and saying that girls should change themselves to follow it if they wanted to get a boyfriend, which included things like:
* Being petite and having a cute smile.
* Shaving all facial and body hair.
* Playing "hard to get" without being too easy, because that makes you a whore. But don't play too hard to get, or guys think you don't like them and they won't care about you.
* You can never be better at video games than a guy. Period.
The video lasted five days before backlash resulted in it being deleted.
Inspired by this, people looked up more about him. Turns out he's got a downright obscene amount of homophobic statements on his Twitter.
Well, I have heard many different accounts of it by now, including one by the internetaristocrat guy who was linked to here for his Tumblrisms videos. Due to that video by IA, I had been under the impression that the video was about what Nash thought was attractive in girls.
Accounts of internet events can be rather strange. All the same, I am glad things have been corrected.
Though this also raises some questions, which I will ask in the confidential forum.
