Cal High’s campus is closed at lunch and the sun is sadly setting sooner and sooner.

In these dark times, there’s always one thing to count on: some mediocre teenage boy is being put on a pedestal. For the past year, that lucky boy has been Nash Grier.

Grier, 16, happens to be one of the most popular users of the Vine, a video-sharing app, with a huge fan base comprised mostly of teenage girls.

His fame led Aeropostale to sign a deal with him for a new clothing line and in October he was named an influential teen by Time magazine. But is he worthy of all this praise?

Grier has done a great deal of problematic things in his short career.

He has posted various homophobic tweets, such as “Gay rights? Nahhh” and repeatedly referred to gay people as “queers” and other hurtful terms.

Perhaps the biggest controversy occurred when Grier and fellow internet famous friends Cameron Dallas and JC Caylen made a video titled “What Guys Look For in Girls” on YouTube.

The video began innocently enough with the three boys talking about certain attributes they find cute in a girl. But this quickly descended into a hypocritical tirade that denounced girls who are loud, untalented, and too good at video games.

Grier continued to contradict himself by stating that female body hair is terrible and then saying he loves the natural look and that it’s important for girls to be themselves.

What’s so abhorrent about this is that Grier has an enormous audience comprising millions of middle and high school girls. He is a hero, inspiration and a potential main squeeze to nearly all of his followers.

“I think that Nash Grier is attractive, and he’s getting into acting, which is cool,” said sophomore Tiara Lewis.

But many students find Grier unremarkable and undeserving of such a large, sensitive audience.

“I hate him so much. His face just reminds me of a punching bag, and I just wanna take it, and shoot it with a shotgun!” said senior Alex Bru. “He’s annoying, and he just has a very punchable face, and I just really hate his Vines, and I hate how people like him.”

Oddly enough, Time magazine is quite the fan of Nash Grier. He was put on the list of the 25 most influential teens, a list that also hosts Malala Yousafazai, Lorde, and Tavi Gevinson.

Frankly, does Grier belong on the same list of influential people with Nobel Prize winners, platinum musicians, athletes, LGBT activists, and magazine editors just because he has 9.6- million plus followers on Vine?
