If it's part of GOMTV's requirements who are any of you to oppose that...? It's their business and within reason they can do what they like.

He's a professional, he needs to look clean. So yes, he should have to shave his beard. Sorry, but just because he commentates our favorite game doesn't mean he gets to be lazy and look like a slob. If anything it will reflect poorly on E-Sports if someone is looking in from the outside. The outsiders see a guy with a scruffy beard casting video games and they think "Another lazy guy who sits around and plays video games all day." Just my opinion

no one should be forced to shave their beard. IRL you're not forced; if you don't shave it off you get sacked
Life's good :D

In most cases, people look better without beards. Let's keep it at that.

I think he projects a more professional sense without a beard than he would if he had one
If you're not attacking, you're probably loosing

Again, the professionalism is set by the views of the organization, not the comparison of leniency by other organizations.


Overly strict rules are set by some organisations, not everyone has to follow them.

Are we really going to get to a stage where we decide that SC2 casting is one of these and ban TLO's manly beard from our screens? Ban Wolf from choosing to grow a beard because he wants to?

I hope not.


How is this overly strict? In what way does it harshly impede one's ability to express themselves? Give me a break, they asked a maintaining of what they view is a professional look and Wolf abides because he prefers his job over his facial hair.

Yeah, I'm sure it's a "ban" on Wolf's beard. They put a no-smoking sign up but replaced the cigarette with the image of Wolf's beard. They even banned mustaches to prevent any confusion on which parts of his face can he grow facial hair.

What if they ban monobrows, or nose hairs! WHAT THEN! WHERE DOES IT STOP?

The TLO thing is just you trying way too hard to be emotionally distraught about the whole thing.


In MY opinion it IS overly strict. And according to most people voting in the poll, he should be allowed to have a beard.

Nuff said.

I think you are taking what I am saying a bit too far, all I am doing is expressing an opinion and I am definitely not 'emotionally distraught'.
Bleh.

There lies the problem. It's your opinion and not the organizations.

This is as close to TV as he'll get. They want to go for a certain image. Nothing wrong with it.

GOM can turn this into something positive - they will ask for viewer donations, and if a certain amount is met, Wolf will then not shave and grow a beard. GOM can contribute by matching the money dollar-for-dollar (up to a certain amount). The money will be donated to esports - for example, rather than just inviting big names to play a special tournament, organise some kind of special event where players out of the limelight (and hence struggling) will have some kind of "time in the sun". Or maybe some kind of "e-sports scholarship", or equivalent idea.

Then doing Wolf's casts, he can say he's growing this beard for such-and-such activity in order to grow esports.

Your opinion isn't important though... GOM's is.

Nuff said. (but I'll keep going to explain myself)

If they don't want his beard on their cameras, then it won't be there, it's Wolf's choice if he wants to be there or not.

And the poll doesn't ask if Wolf should be allowed to have his beard, it asks if he should shave it or not, which is a different question. I could vote that he be allowed to have his beard and vote that he should shave it off without contradicting myself.

Walking in the woods
You see
A little flower, it has a beard,
So you pick it and you give it to your wife
And she says “That’s wonderful!
I’ve always wanted
A flower with a beard!"

And again, someone posting about who's opinion is important or not. I am not stating that MY opinion overrides GOM's, of course it doesn't. I am simply posting my opinion. Last time I looked, open forums were all about that.

Also the poll states 'Poll: Should Wolf shave his beard?'

Implying that if he doesn't shave, he will grow a beard. Implying that the poll is asking 'should he have a beard'.
Bleh.

One thing i dont get is that people are equating having a beard and not being professional. You can have one and still maintain a professional look by keeping nice and trimmed. Just like your hair, if you come to work with your hair all scraggly of course it is going to look unprofessional, but you comb and or gel it to keep it looking nice. Same thing with keeping a tasteful beard.

Edit
This thread is so funny though, wolf gets no fan club but he gets this.
