A long time member of The Clock Crew, author of such flash works as the Clock Tales series on Newgrounds. Left the Clock Crew for the parody group The Lock Legion after being stripped of his moderator priveleges on the Clock Crew's website, now goes by the alias Banana Lock
BananaClock, while shaping the clock crew as it is today, has tarnished his name by endorsing a ripoff group.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
