Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

Added an example.




Added DiffLines:

* {{Tilesweeper}}: The first half plays this way. You walk around a tile-based room with traps scattered all over. The color of a tile indicates how many traps are adjacent (0 is blue, 1 is green, 2 is yellow, 3 is orange, 4 is red, 5 is pink). Violet tiles are blocked and can't be stepped on. You have to disarm traps by ctrl+clicking them which also makes their tiles black. There are also red and yellow skulls traps which don't show up as adjacent traps but you have to step off them quickly if you land on one.

-> North Vander of Ravencourt Castle had died recently - very recently. His heiress was a young American named May Vandernot. And, according to the family solicitor, someone was trying to kill her.\\
Before Parker could get the specifics from the man, the phone had gone dead. And so he had taken the last train up from London. What else could a chief inspector do?\\
Thanks to the storm, he had barely enough time to send in a call to the local constable requesting information and to hire the last possible boat out. Alone, he would have to sniff out the would-be murderer and incapacitate him until help could arrive.\\
[[BringIt He found that he was quite looking forward to it.]]
