Sure, its a totally different situation as I am not in a professional field, I just wanted to refute your statement that "every guy shaves" Edited for typo | ||

But yeah, whatever, let Wolf grow a beard. Not that it's any of my business. | ||

I think the poll should be "should we be able to tell Gom whether or not wolf should have to shave his beard every monrning." Seeing as how we shouldn't have any influence in a different company's policies, I think a more appropriate poll would be: "If you were running a professional business, what would your policy on shaving be? 1. Always clean shaven 2. Clean shaven or maintained facial hair 3. Anything goes! " | ||

In many industries, properly maintained facial hair is allowed, while only out-of-control facial hair (or hair, for that matter) is viewed as unprofessional. Dustin Browder and TotalBiscuit are fine, but early CatsPajamas (think back to when he had that scraggly beard) is a no-go. But then again, CatsPajamas ended up maintaining his facial hair in a professional manner (keeping it short), and now I actually think it's completely gone anyway. But then again, some companies have a policy that the members be completely clean shaven. Sometimes it's for good reasons, and sometimes it's a bit too restrictive for others' tastes. Regardless, if you don't like that policy, don't work there  'Not working there' really isn't an alternative in e-sports. | ||

How about... God forbid he has to do what the employer asks of him for the sake of his employment and how GOMTV wants to portray themselves and their representatives. Hence appropriate [to the standards or expectations of GOMTV and affiliates]. | ||

I think it's needlessly restrictive on Wolf for Gom to forbid beards, explicitly or implicitly (as that is what is implied). It would only add to his "foreigner" look and appeal. "Professionalism" is a religion in itself! | ||

"Professionalism" is a religion in itself! Pretty sure professionalism is a standard of expectations in both body language, appearance, presentation set by the organization that hired you. It's asked to abide to these sub-social norms for the same of maintaining uniformity and image of the company or place of business. Religion is a big stretch even if you draw easy common points. | ||

Therefore, Wolf should grow a ton of facial hair if he wants. | ||

Well: Perhaps religion is a bit of a stretch. However, it applies at least to the way people are forced to look (consider Islamic and Jewish beards and niqabs and such). There is no logical reason for these restrictions on appearance but common convention, just like how religions operate. Is a suit more hygienic than a set of other clothes? | ||
