I could see some casters pulling it off, but wolf isn't one of them. Up to Gom really. 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."
I'm a gooner.

I don't shave and I didn't shave while I was holding down two jobs at once working 70 hours a week between the two of them and neither job faulted me for having a beard.
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"

I'm not quite sure how we got from a non-religious corporation enforcing a moderate, culturally Korean dress code to accusations of religious oppression, fundamentalism, and totalitarianism. I think some people need to get out more.

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

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! "

He should either shave every day or just grow a beard. Either way, can't show up to a broadcast with a 5 o'clock shadow.

What the hell is this? This topic is absolutely pointless, let alone deserving this many pages. A clean shaven look is a requirement in a professional setting. Having grown-out facial hair looks messy and an unkempt appearance.

First you ask people like Katu to stop trolling the stream, then you get backtrace Orb's comments to stop his what-ever-it-was. Now you say beards are ok.

People can never be happy.

That's both needlessly inflammatory and completely irrelevant...

He needs to, for the sake of professionalism

Who decides that having a beard is unprofessional and not having one is professional? These are social biases that are absurd and need to eradicated.


Just to elaborate a bit...

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.

Regardless of whether GOM forces him to shave or not, I don't think Wolf would look particularly good with a beard....

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].

You can tell this is a solid thread by the fact that half of the people are extending quotes from the greatest minds the world has ever known and the other half is decrying them for not being apathetic about the subject.

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!

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.

If GOMTV has nothing against people that don't take care of their looks, I guess it'd be cool. But I'm sure they do care how their casters look.

Wolves have facial hair.

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?
