Commentary
This is about hair, I like this fem-Justin design, I wanted light teasing, and this height difference is easier to work with, so yes. Yes to Justin the barber.
In the context Justin was teasing at, a "beard" would be a man pretending to be Susan's boyfriend to give the entirely false impression that Susan is heterosexual.
Which Justin jokes about here as a play on words and messing with Susan, but it does come from the very unfortunate reality of people wanting, or having, to hide their non-heterosexuality. Which I would love to say was all in the past, but humanity's got a long way to go to reach an enlightened version of itself that several contemporary moms would still write angry letters to editors about.

I've seen enough literal beards to know that it doesn't always work that way for literal beards, either.

2020-05-12 17:17:23 +0000 UTCI'm baffled by the very idea of being able to tune out people talking around one's self on demand. I'd love to be able to do that. Best I can manage is headphones that block ambient noise.

2020-05-12 16:45:39 +0000 UTCI haven't played Fables, but many of the games I've played with in-game cosmetic change options at a barber shop do include such. So chances seem good, even if Dan opts to not show this, it's true. I just hope for Susan's sake, that Justin said 'whiskers' rather than 'Whiskers'. It'd be frustrating for that to just be a different tag-along NPC. ;)

2020-05-12 16:28:29 +0000 UTCHaven't heard of the "beard" reference in weeks... maybe even months. I wasn't even "hanging around" the sorts of crowds where the term was used (specifically, all of the non-hetero normative people that I officially know are public about it these days), but I've heard the term clearly used in that manner in passing in 2020. To be clear, I don't try to listen in to other people's conversations, but I'm autistic and can't turn off my ears, and I live in a city and ride the subway. (Well, I *did* ride the subway. I don't d that now, of course.)

2020-05-12 06:29:04 +0000 UTCI hope "whiskers" include the nonhuman type.
