In the English language, pronouns are divided into "he", "she" and the singular "they" for humans and "it" for inanimate objectsnote animals may be referred to with gendered pronouns or as "it" if their sex is unknown or irrelevant to the discussion. Referring to a person as "it" is usually incredibly rude, as it's considered tantamount to denying they are a real person. (Well, much of the time. "It", as can be seen by its usage with animals, used to be for various non-human entities, entities which are hard to classify as male or female, people who prefer the "it" pronoun, or entities of which you are unsure of. Nowadays, it's mainly only preserved in select sentences, such as "Who is it?")
This trope is when a character is referred to as "it" in fiction. Perhaps the person who is referring to the character is a fantastic racist. Otherwise, it may refer to an Eldritch Abomination, which indicates that the being is too inhuman to empathize with, despite its intelligence. Perhaps the person in question is of undetermined gender or even just doesn't have one. The worst victims of this trope are probably Artificial Humans and Ridiculously Human Robots. Also used to demonstrate a character's prejudice against a transgender character; sadly, this is Truth in Television as well.
The trope does not exist in most other languages, at least not in the same way. Arabic and many European languages only have translations for "he" and "she". Others like German and Russian do have what can be called "it", but - unlike English - kept the original usage of essentially "miscellaneous nouns/entities". Yet others like Hindi and Turkish use the same pronouns for humans and everything else and do not have gendered pronouns either; the same is true in spoken Chinese, but not in written Chinese.
Recently, societal changes — at least in North America and Europe — have seen a growing acceptance of the idea that people should be referred to using the pronouns of the gender they identify as, making this trope retroactively seem even worse in cases where the subject clearly identifies as male or female. Although some nonbinary people do favor "it" as a pronoun, singular "they" is the most commonly accepted gender-neutral pronoun, and the best alternative to "it" when referring to humans, and Just for Fun there is also the (very) archaic hÄ«e (pronounced like "hue") for plural "it", though good luck using hÄ«e and have anyone understand you.
Incidentally, traditionally "he" could be a gender-neutral pronoun as well as a masculine one, but again this is now considered outdated. "One" is also sometimes used (as in "One does not simply Walk into Mordor") but isn't universal across the Anglosphere; is often considered in British English to be extremely archaic, upper-class and pretentious, and can be awkward when the speaker is referring to a specific person, especially if that person is standing right there, since many believe that "one" can only be used when you're referring to a non-specific person.
Sub-Trope to Dehumanization, Dehumanizing Insult and Expository Pronoun. Compare What Measure Is a Non-Human?, Do Androids Dream?, Clones Are People, Too, Pronoun Trouble, and Of the People.

In Batman: Arkham Asylum, if enough armed henchmen are knocked out, the remaining thugs will call Batman "It".

Terminator: This is the common way by the human resistance of referring to the machines.
In The Terminator:
Terminator 2: Judgment Day also uses this in the director's cut, as seen in the quote above.
Terminator Genisys: Kyle originally refuses to call Pops/Guardian "him," and regards the reprogrammed Terminator with great suspicion. In time, however, he comes to trust the machine, and tells Sarah "He loved you," after Pops seems to have sacrificed itself for her.
Terminator: Dark Fate has Alicia, the woman who Carl the Terminator married, throw the reversal at Sarah while talking about him.

Divinity: Original Sin II: One of the Abusive Precursors not only calls the Player Character "it" but avoids directly addressing them at all and refers to them as a "Source vat", of note only for the Soul Power she can drain from them. Which, in fact, was the purpose for which her species created the other races.

Due to her bad experiences with the Incubators, Homura generally refers to the Kwami whose Miraculouses she obtains in Kwami Magi Homura Magica as 'it', assuming them to be the same thing, though she does drop it when they show to be far more moral beings than the Incubators, though it is also clearly a reflection of her opinion on them: she refers to Nooroo consistently as 'him' after the Butterfly Kwami shows clear empathy towards her, while when she first meets other Kwami, or deals with Duusu who actively dislikes her for attacking Felix and goes out of his way to annoy her, she still calls them 'it'.

Room:
Ma corrects someone after they call her stillborn daughter 'it'.
Jack's grandfather can't stand to be around him because he can't overlook the fact that his grandson was produced through repeated sexual assaults against his daughter. For simplicity’s sake, he just tells Ma that it's because "it makes [him] shudder". Ma tells him that there is no 'it' and that Jack is a five-year-old boy.

"It" is used by Death Eaters in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to refer to muggle-borns who have had their wands taken away for having "stolen magic". When Harry, Ron, and Hermione visit Diagon Alley in disguise, Ron is forced to stun one. The Death Eater Travers asks Hermione (disguised as the Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange) "How did it offend you?" and Hermione, playing her character, replies "It does not matter. It will not do so again." Hermione herself is also muggle-born.

Dragon Age:
Inverted by Shale in Dragon Age: Origins, who is a golem and thus treated as furniture by those who don't know better, but is actually a fully sentient individual. Shale refers to everyone else as "it" on purpose, mostly for the ironic reversal and to indicate a complete lack of respect. Including the Player Character. The player character will get upgraded to "you" if you reach friendship level with Shale.
In Dragon Age II, it's revealed that the Qunari word for outsider or foreigner is "bas", which means "thing". If you're not a follower of the Qun, you are not even a person. Or if you're a mage, since their word/name for a mage is "Saarebas", meaning "dangerous thing". This is one of the reasons the Qun is not popular with some players.
Dragon Age: Inquisition has Cole, is a Fade spirit who somehow took human form without possessing anyone. Vivienne (a Circle Mage trained to mistrust spirits) and Sera (generally leery of magic) make a point of calling him "it". Cole is rather pleased when Sera eventually slips up and says "him".
Averted in the case of Solas; he repeatedly calls a particular spirit "it" while making it clear he considers the spirit very much a person and a dear friend. He just doesn't believe in assigning it a gender. Interestingly enough, Solas refers to Cole as "he", possibly because Solas sees Cole as having gained a gender when he took human form.

Hogarth averts this in I am Superman and refers to the Giant as "he", but Taylor and the narration refer to him as "it", though it's subverted in that case because the Giant's gender is unspecified and isn't done in a dehumanizing way. The PRT play this straight, only calling him "it" since they see him as either a Tinker-tech weapon or a mechanical Endbringer. During her meeting with Taylor, Piggot has to actively try to avert this so as not to unintentionally anger her.

In The Ship Who..., humans with severe enough disabilities to be enclosed in life support "shells" are called "shellpeople", and generally go on to be the biological "brains" of spaceships, space stations, and other installations. They do not like to be regarded as equipment or treated like AI, which they find tremendously disrespectful. It grates on Helva when her brawn Teron, discussing brainships that have mysteriously vanished, refers to them as "it", and while considering the issue herself she has a parenthetical aside calling them "they/she/he never it, please".

Norby, the Mixed-Up Robot: The manager of the used robot shop always refers to Norby as an "it". Most people usually refer to robots as an "it" because they have no gender, but Norby objects because the lack of respect implies that he isn't a person. Jeff starts saying he/him immediately, while it takes a bit longer for Fargo and others to change.

Fringe:
When Peter gets thrown back into the timeline, Walter keeps referring to him as "it" and "the subject".
In a strange example, one of David Robert Jones shapeshifters is having a seizure and when Lincoln asks what's wrong with it, Jones angrily insists that she is a her. It turns out that Jones is killing her, just to prove that he's willing to kill someone he loves and therefore imagine what he is willing to do to them.

While it's debatable if "unnaturals" in Market of Monsters are Homo sapiens or not, they're still clearly intelligent, sapient people who can interbreed with humans. This doesn't stop fully fledged Homo sapiens from seeing them as less than human and selling and slaughtering them like cattle. Reyes refers to her prisoners, including Nita, as "it," not "he" or "she." She and her buyers talk about the "product" exactly like they're non-sapient animals, right in front of them.

In Glitchtale, Betty is commonly dehumanized and called "it" and "that thing" by all the characters because of her horrible, horrible actions. It still comes across as mean of them all anyway, if only because no other character gets this treatment. However, it is partially justified as because of her artificial nature, Betty technically doesn't have a gender.

In Tales of Graces, Emeraude constantly refers to Sophie as Protos Heis and never uses "she", always "it". This is because she sees Sophie as only a humanoid weapon and not as an actual person, unlike everyone else; which serves as a subtle cue to her true nature.

While it's not brought up often, the Naruto villains Orochimaru and Kabuto always referred to Yamato as "the experiment" or "one of Orochimaru's experiments", the reason mainly being that Yamato had been kidnapped by Orochimaru as an infant and experimented on just before Orochimaru left the village.

Rule of Rose uses this trope to establish Wendy's hatred of Brown. When she refers to him at all, it's only as 'it' or 'that filthy dog/that thing'. She only uses Brown's name once: while apologizing to Jennifer for killing him. And all the other children. Except on that occasion, she is exactly as cruel as the trope connotes.

Dragon Age: Inquisition has Cole, is a Fade spirit who somehow took human form without possessing anyone. Vivienne (a Circle Mage trained to mistrust spirits) and Sera (generally leery of magic) make a point of calling him "it". Cole is rather pleased when Sera eventually slips up and says "him".
Averted in the case of Solas; he repeatedly calls a particular spirit "it" while making it clear he considers the spirit very much a person and a dear friend. He just doesn't believe in assigning it a gender. Interestingly enough, Solas refers to Cole as "he", possibly because Solas sees Cole as having gained a gender when he took human form.

In The Ouroboros, April mentally refers to her alternate as 'her time clone' and 'the person', dodging around thinking of her as her as much as possible. This is at least partly a coping mechanism to avoid confronting the fact that she, along with the Casey Jones and turtles she's familiar with, tricked their alternates in order to replace them and claim their lives for their own.

The Dresden Files:
Michael emphatically refers to the ancient vampire Mavra as "it". She then refers to herself that way to show how unintimidated she is.
Harry also refers to the skinwalker as "it". In this case, it is appropriate since the skinwalker is a genderless, shapeshifting quasi-deity of pain and suffering and has never had a shred of humanity, in either the physical or metaphorical sense.
There is also some confusion about the pronouns to use when talking about the Corpsetaker, who basically exists as a body-hopping incorporeal consciousness. However, since the Corpsetaker seems to prefer female bodies when at all possible, consensus came down on female.

Supernatural:
Played with in a season 11 episode when Sam refers to Castiel's human vessel as an "it". Dean takes offense, arguing it's not an it, it's Cas. Since the Winchesters have never interacted with Castiel outside of his vessel (because that would kill them), the vessel is how they perceive him — however, the vessel is technically separate from Castiel (and no longer houses a human soul), so Sam's designation is accurate and probably isn't meant to be disrespectful; tensions are just running high at that particular moment.
Despite being primordial beings who logically predate gender, God and the Darkness are still referred with gendered pronouns ("he" and "she") to indicate their yin-yang dynamic. On the other hand, the Shadow, who is not part of this equation and predates both of them, is called "it" by pretty much everyone.

Discworld:
In Going Postal, when Miss Maccalariat objects to golems cleaning the ladies' restrooms, the protagonist Moist von Lipwig tries to explain that they often use honorifics like "Mister" with the golems employed at the post office because "it" seems wrong. That said, Miss Maccalariat still has issues because a "Mister" should not clean the lady's restrooms. So Moist gets around this by having the golem who would clean the bathroom as "Miss" and wear dresses. The next time we see this golem in Making Money, the golem (now called Gladys) is a unique entity.
In The Truth Lord De Worde considers any non-human this, and after calling Otto Chriek this, he loses his composure.

Elementary has an artificial intelligence researcher murdered, and the potential A.I. (or someone using it) is considered a suspect. The A.I. is consistently referred to as "she" by the people who developed it, but Holmes insists on "it" and becomes obsessed with proving it can't pass the Turing Test... but even he slips and catches himself.

In Final Fantasy XVI, Bearers are magic users who are treated as slaves at best or hunted for sport at worst. They are given a Brand, a face tattoo that marks them for life. Newborns that show any magic abilities are usually given up for adoption to be trained as slaves, with most families considering their Branded relatives not part of their family.

In The Mandalorian, the Empire remnants who are after the Child, Grogu, for experimentation mostly refer to him as "The Asset". In "The Reckoning", Moff Gideon delivers a threatening speech demanding that Din Djarin hand Grogu over during which he refers to the infant as "it". After Gideon kidnaps Grogu in season two, Din sends Gideon a message where he repeats the speech but pointedly changes every "it" to "he".

This is the reaction from Nine and his lieutenants in My Hero Academia: Unchained Predator. After finding out Wolfram knew about the Slayer and didn't tell them, Nine was about ready to kill Wolfram for this catastrophic lapse of judgement. Curator has to intervene before it got bloody.
By Chapter 18, Curator is internally referring to the Slayer as that thing, much like Mummy did. After seeing him shrug off Volcano's nanomachines and lava strike, he knows that facing the Slayer is outright suicide and is forced to retreat alongside the Volcano Thieves, when it becomes clear that the mainland heroes are arriving and the heroes in the ballroom are probably freed by now.

Justified in Star Trek: Bridge Commander with regards to the Kessok, a new species made up for the game. At one point Lieutenant Commander Data is negotiating with a Kessok captain and the player's first officer interrupts to ask why Data keeps calling the Kessok "it" and asks whether the Kessok captain is female. Data replies that the Kessok are a silicon-based lifeform instead of carbon-based and that they do not appear to have separate genders, and that now didn't seem like the appropriate time to ask about Kessok reproduction.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days has Saix refer to Xion as "it". This is partially because Xion's appearance varies according to who is looking at her. While Axel and Roxas see her as a beautiful girl, Saix sees her as a faceless puppet. The manga had DiZ referring to Roxas in the same manner because Roxas is a Nobody, a being not meant to exist.

When they met again, Gyro continues to call BOYD it until he learns that his partner, Dr. Akito, had caused BOYD's berserk state and used him as a weapon of evil. After Akito's defeat, Gyro started treating BOYD as a "definitely real boy" instead of a machine.

Battlestar Galactica:
In Battlestar Galactica (2003), Cylon characters (even some who were generally recognized as allies by the humans) were often referred to as "it" by human characters. Athena's growing acceptance by the other characters can be tracked by when people switch from calling her "it" or "thing" to "her" and "you".
Done again in the prequel series Caprica; when Daniel Graystone meets the Digital Avatar of Zoe, he spends a good part of the episode referring to her as "it" before finally acknowledging that she is sentient.
Subverted in the Galactica 1980 episode "The Return of Starbuck", where Starbuck has no problem referring to Cy (the Centurion he'd repaired) as "he" and never even calls him "it".

In the English version of Soul Eater, Medusa refers to Crona as either "it" or "my child", while everyone else either uses "he" for convenience or just refers to Crona by name, and in the original Japanese Crona was just referred to with an ambiguously gendered pronoun. Also counts as a Woolseyism since Medusa's use of "it" ties into how she treats Crona.

In another example that occurred during New 52, Helspont at one point tries to break Superman's spirit by giving him a nightmare where the government is hunting him down. The soldiers yell stuff like, "There it is! Shoot it!"

Played with in the Vorkosigan Saga, in which "it" is considered the polite way to address Betan hermaphrodites.note For the curious, the appropriate salutation for a mixed gathering would be "Ladies, Gentlemen, Honourable Herm(s)", according to Diplomatic Immunity. Bel Thorne, the hermaphrodite most central to the series, has a canned rant about how "it" is not considered to be dehumanizing... but also quite enjoys using its "it" status to make less tolerant acquaintances uncomfortable. The respectful "It" is kind of a quirk of Betan culture. Members of other, less-widely-known genderless minorities may still not take it very kindly. Cetagandan ba (which is both the name of the caste, and its proper pronoun), for example, aren't very likely to take offense at anything, but their Haut creators/employers/cousins will take offense on their behalf.

Comes up with human-form Replicators in the Stargate-verse. Specifically, in Stargate Atlantis, McKay and Zelenka create a Replicator to use as a weapon against the rest of the Replicators. Everyone else is a bit squicked by this since "she" is self-aware. McKay, however, steadfastly insists that "it" is just a weapon. FRAN herself seems to agree with him, pointing out that his concern at sending her to her destruction is silly.

Inverted by Shale in Dragon Age: Origins, who is a golem and thus treated as furniture by those who don't know better, but is actually a fully sentient individual. Shale refers to everyone else as "it" on purpose, mostly for the ironic reversal and to indicate a complete lack of respect. Including the Player Character. The player character will get upgraded to "you" if you reach friendship level with Shale.

Codex Alera: Throughout Academ's Fury, every bit of narration refers to Ambassador Varg, a 9-foot tall wolfman from a species called Cane, as "it". This continues through Cursor's Fury until the very end when the narration uses "she" to refer to a fleeing Cane along with the wham that this is the first time anyone's ever seen a female Cane. Afterward, the proper gender pronouns are used by Tavi and allies. When Isana first sees Ambassador Varg in Captain's Fury, she remarks at just how large "it" is. Tavi responds that yes, he is quite big.

In BloodRayne, and the entire franchise, Kagan, the "sperm donor" who brought Rayne into the world, through raping and then murdering her mother, constantly refers to Rayne as "that thing" or simply "that." Purely to dismiss her as an inferior for the "crime of turning her back on her vampire legacy." Ie, having a childhood where he wasn't constantly controlling and abusing her.
The mooks in the first game while Rayne holds them and slurps their blood. "Get it off me! Get... it... off..."

Hearing this, Utonium, who had just expressed to the Girls how much of a great friend he was back in college (when in the flashbacks that depicted him to be anything but) finally realizes what a Jerkass Dick really is and forces him to leave.

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Daredevil (2015): Elektra Natchios takes extreme offense in Nobu calling her "it". It's worth noting however that the Hand nonetheless treat her with reverence, indicating that to them, calling the Black Sky "it" is simply the proper form of addressing such a powerful entity.
The Defenders (2017): This continues to be the case for Elektra, revived by the Hand and brainwashed into an assassin. As the Black Sky, she is still referred to as "it", and after encounters where Stick and Matt address her by name, Elektra regains all her suppressed memories and makes quite clear how much she hates being thought of as a weapon as she kills Alexandra:
WandaVision: Hayward breaks out the dehumanizing language to make clear that to him, Vision isn't Wanda Maximoff's lover, but a weapon he wants to revive for his own lawbreaking purposes.

Overwatch has a robot "Omnic" hero Bastion, who is officially referred to as an "it" in an unusual case that actually has to do with characterization and not discrimination. Many Omnics in the current day function and are treated on a similar level of humanity, and most are referred to with gendered pronouns (and even non-gendered "they/them" pronouns). Bastion, however, is an Omnic that predates all of that, having originally been designed as a literal weapon of war, with the fact it developed any sapience or humanity at all being a massive aberration — it'd be like referring to a handgun who suddenly became self-aware. Its gender-neutral design and lack of a voice also makes it trickier to personify with a gendered pronoun.

Fallout 4 uses this with many characters when they talk about synths, but one particular instance stands out, that being during the Blind Betrayal quest: Danse is revealed to be an escaped synth who had his memory wiped, and Elder Maxson tasks you with tracking him down and executing him. Danse had absolutely no idea he was a synth and has served the Brotherhood of Steel for years with unquestioning loyalty, but if you convince Danse that he deserves to live despite being a synth and then stand up to Maxson in his defense, Maxson disregards the fact that Danse is the best soldier he has and only refers to him as "it". Danse is visibly hurt.
Two companions (MacReady and Cait) react negatively to Danse being revealed to be a synth, but while MacReady still calls him a "him", saying if you kill Danse, "Keeping him around was too dangerous", Cait will refer to him as an it, even saying if you kill Danse, "Good. Thought that thing would never shut up."

Several times when someone mentions Tsukune's inner ghoul in Acts II and III, they refer to him as an "it."

In Act VI chapter 49, while punishing Akua and Kahlua for not only failing to kill Talon but letting him set foot in the Shuzen home, Issa outright refers to him as an "abomination" and an "it."

Die Hard: Technically, Hans' "Dies ein ist mein!" would count, but it's far more probably that a word-for-word Translation Train Wreck of "This one is mine!" happened. A German might say, "Dieser eine ist meiner!", with proper flexion and male grammatical gender; or (more probable, since the former would be too pompous, especially with bullets flying left and right) "Der/Das ist meiner!" with male/neutral gender, both would work.

Vampire: The Masquerade: The Tzimisce Sascha Vykos self-invokes this to show how detached it is from humanity.

Don't Look Deeper: Sharon pointedly calls Aisha "her" and not "it" when proposing her creation with her bosses, in keeping with her view of Aisha's being a person, while they do the opposite.

In Journey Beyond Sodor, Frankie refers to Thomas a "little tank engine". When Thomas eventually grows annoyed with it and points out he has a name, she responds by saying the same referral with extra emphasis.

In Going Postal, when Miss Maccalariat objects to golems cleaning the ladies' restrooms, the protagonist Moist von Lipwig tries to explain that they often use honorifics like "Mister" with the golems employed at the post office because "it" seems wrong. That said, Miss Maccalariat still has issues because a "Mister" should not clean the lady's restrooms. So Moist gets around this by having the golem who would clean the bathroom as "Miss" and wear dresses. The next time we see this golem in Making Money, the golem (now called Gladys) is a unique entity.

In [PROTOTYPE], some high-ranking members of Blackwatch are very insistent about referring to ZEUS, otherwise known as Alex Mercer, as "it" instead of "he". Which turns out to be fitting, since the "Alex" you control is a sentient version of the Blacklight virus that has assumed Alex's form, and has no fixed gender or sex. He seems content to identify as male, however.

Rocket Age: The designers are aware of the implications of referring to a person as an "it", but still use "it" as the article for the non-gendered alien species, since there isn't another article in 1938 that Earthlings would be likely to use. Of course "it" does end up often being used by humans in a very dehumanizing way in-universe.

Steven Universe:
Homeworld Gems' Humans Are Insects mentality often shows by calling humans "it" or similarly impersonal grammar. (Jasper's first words about Steven were "What is this?") Even some of the Crystal Gems have done the same, as in a Whole Episode Flashback to when Steven's parents met, Pearl refers to Greg as "it", but switches to "he" when she realizes Greg was listening to her. Ironically, they're the ones with No Biological Sex.
Although corrupted gems are often called "it" even by the Crystal Gems, in "Kindergarten Kid" Steven refers to the gem monster Peridot is pursuing with female pronouns to emphasize that they are deserving of sympathy and consideration.

In 3, Shala'Raan, while less hateful toward the geth than Han'Gerrel or Daro'Xen, insists on referring to Legion as "it" when Shepard uses "he".
Inverted with the hanar, who refer to themselves in public as "it" or "this one". They consider it extremely rude to use first-person pronouns around people who aren't relatives or extremely close friends. Plus, it's not even known if hanar have genders or gender identity the way most species do.
Mass Effect: Andromeda: The kett refer to all other species in this manner, always calling them "lower lifeforms" or "specimens". They view any non-kett as little better than animals.
Likewise, the Angara initially do this as well when first meeting members of the Milky Way, though this is more due to suspicion and unfamiliarity with Milky Way species. One male Angara even has to be chided for staring at a female Ryder immediately after being told that Ryder is a "she", not an "it". Some of the more xenophobic Angara, namely the Roekaar, continue to use "it" when referring to Milky Way species, which only serves to show similar they are to the Kett they're at war with.

BAD END THEATER: The narration in the Hero's story uses "it" pronouns for the Underling and other minor demons, because he sees demons as mere monsters. The Maiden's story alternates between "it" and "they" pronouns, because she is more open-minded about meeting demons than the Hero. The Underling and Overlord's stories use "they" pronouns exclusively, because, well, they are the demons.

Despite being primordial beings who logically predate gender, God and the Darkness are still referred with gendered pronouns ("he" and "she") to indicate their yin-yang dynamic.

Transformers: Prime
Soundwave’s deployer companion, Laserbeak, is usually referred to as “it� by most of the Autobots, particularly in Triage, as they see him as little more than a drone and an extension of Soundwave. Interestingly, every Decepticon who has referred to him consistently uses male pronouns and recognize him as an individual, including Megatron.
Predaking is consistently referred to as "it" until demonstrating the capacity to speak and transform, and consistently as "he"/"him" from then on.

In Alien in a Small Town, the Jan have three genders: the female Matriarchs, the male Workers, and the sterile Warriors. It is pointed out that, while calling a Warrior "it" might make some grammatical sense in English, doing so is considered "depersonalizing", so Warriors default to male pronouns.

Kill Six Billion Demons: Most non-humans use either gendered pronouns or "they/them", with one exception — the Knight Templar angel 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe is consistently referred to as "it" by the narration. 6 Juggernaut Star despises humans and considers any angels that express humanity to be deviants, so "it" is implied to be an intentional choice to distance itself from humans and their language. Juggernaut Star also reveals an extremely human-looking true form whenever its concentration slips, which implies that there's a lot of messiness involved in its choice of pronouns and gender identity.

Fraggle Rock: Fantastic Racism is a major underpinning of the initial interspecies relations in the show. The various central species (Fraggles, Doozers, Gorgs and humans) start out misunderstanding each other at worst, and knowing nothing about one another at best. In the episode "Boober and the Glob", Boober Fraggle trips over Cotterpin Doozer. This conversation results:

Inverted in Shadowrun Returns where Racter consistently refers to his Ace Custom combat drone Koschei as a 'he', not an 'it', despite the latter being a nonsentient and nonsapient robot. The Player Character is allowed to point this out, to which Racter responds that he built Koschei's combat AI himself and tied it to his own prototype mind-altering implants: Koschei essentially runs on Racter's Id and acts on his sadistic impulses, making Koschei in some ways a part of himself.

The characters in Splice go back and forth on this when it comes to Dren, the genetically engineered creature they created. At one point Elsa insists on calling Dren "her" instead of "it" but is later shown switching back to "it" after (correctly) realizing she's become too emotionally attached to a dangerous creature.

Infinity Train: Knight of the Orange Lily, upon learning that Specter got fused with a living lightning bolt on the Train that likes to switch places, he constantly calls them an "it", even when said lightning bolt (Easter) switches out to correct them with a "They". Stories later in Infinity Train: Voyage of Wisteria, when Specter gets off the Train, he gets a call from London and a white blur that he asks to get "it" out of the way...but it turns out that's Easter. Train communications to the real world renders the train and denizens blurry. Specter immediately realizes his faux pas after that.
In the Alternate Universe Fic, Infinity Train: Seeker of Crocus, Ryoken immediately starts calling Easter "it" (just like he would use it to the Ignis) which pisses Specter — who has just been regaining his memories of his previous Train trip — and respectfully uses the "They" pronoun like Easter requested.

The Cornelius Chronicles: The hermaphrodite Cornelius Brunner is referred to in the narration as "it" but given that it apparently has the personalities of both the people who were combined to create it, "they" might've been a better choice. However, The Final Programme was written in 1965, and neither Michael Moorcock nor anyone else really had a good precedent.

In Genshin Impact, in the past the Melusines were subject to Fantastic Racism by the people of Fontaine. As such, Chief Justice Neuvillette eventually made it outright illegal to refer to them as "It", stating that they must be referred to with female pronouns. Thankfully by the time of the game the Melusines have largely integrated into human society and are treated as equal members of their society to the point that treating them like pets (a common mistake for people from other nations) is also illegal.

In Magi: Labyrinth of Magic, Mogamett allows Titus to adopt a Muggle child named Marga… and then kicks another Muggle child who was annoying him before commenting how he doesn't understand why Titus wanted one, but he's "glad that he likes it." This is what clues Aladdin in that Mogamett basically sees non-magicians as animals and Marga as more of a pet than a person.

Common among the Prolethians on Orphan Black, when referring to the clones.
In season 1, Tomas consistently refers to the clones as "it" rather than "she" when convincing Helena to hunt down and kill them. One sign that Helena is having doubts about her mission is that she doesn't.
Similarly, in season 2, Grace refers to Helena as "it" while her father Henrik — who believes in redeeming Helena and making her a part of his family — uses "she".

A Tactician's Testimony: Lyn has no remorse for killing bandits in cold blood, openly telling Katri that "bandits aren't people." While somewhat justified, since Lyn's family and tribe were slaughtered by bandits, her attitude nonetheless unnerves Katri quite a bit.

Both official and fan translations for Land of the Lustrous usually refer to Kongou Sensei as "he", compared to the genderless Gems under his charge who typically are comfortable with "they". So when Phos learns of their master's robotic nature from the Lunarians, their language refering to him from then on leans hard into this trope.

Implied in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. While Captain Salazar doesn't outright refer to pirates as "its", he makes it clear that he doesn't consider pirates human beings at all, regarding them as a disease that has "infected the seas."

Warhammer 40,000:
In Horus Heresy, when Lion hunts Curze on his flagship, he refers to Konrad in his narrative as "it", a monster to be put down. Given that Curze has sped past his Moral Event Horizon without looking back way before the story even starts, it may be a justified example.
Used in the second sense of the trope for The Exalted in the Night Lords series. Having been possessed for a few thousand years, the former Space Marine has lost most of its humanity to the daemon of Tzeentch inside of it.note Unfortunately, the human portion of the gestalt is fully aware of his diminishing control.

The Heavy refers to the Pyro as an "it" in the long-awaited "Meet the Pyro" video.
In the same video, the Scout averts this — he refers to the Pyro with both gender pronouns in the same sentence, though in subtitles only, as the actual voice line doesn't. (Valve's official policy on the Pyro's gender/real identity is that at this point, not answering the question is far more entertaining and interesting than any answer they could ever create.)

Lucky Starr and the Rings of Saturn: Sten Devoure is a racist Sirian who believes that his eugenically-enhanced heritage makes him better than average humans, and it is especially apparent with Bigman. Devoure refuses to use "he" as the pronoun to describe Bigman, instead saying "that thing" and "it." The insult becomes dangerous when he tells a group of robots that Bigman is not human, and orders them to "break it". He makes his feelings clear in the following quote (ironically using 'him' in the process):

Star Trek Expanded Universe:
Discussed briefly in the book The Lives of Dax, when referring to a Trill symbiont as "it" leaves a character uncomfortable.
In the Star Trek: New Frontier series, Burgoyne 172, a member of the Hermat species, explains that they were originally going to use "sheheit" as a pronoun until discovering that it sounds like a rude English word.
In general, particularly in Trek Lit from the 1980s and 1990s, "s/he" (possesive and objective "hir") is frequently used for sentients whose gender is other than conventional male or female. And there is at least one passage in which a being (possibly the aforementioned Burgoyne 172) takes great offense when referred to as "it."

In Blake's 7, Avon consistently referred to the three intelligent computers shown as "it" even though the other characters all called them "he". However, Orac (one of the computers) was actually the one character with whom Avon shared the most consistent mutual respect.

In Void Domain, Devon refuses to refer to any demon as anything other than "it" or their name, believing that projecting human attributes onto demons is an easy way to make a fatal mistake around them. In fairness, most of the demons he binds into service would happily eat him alive, but the attitude doesn't endear him to Eva's non-malicious demon allies.

Superman:
Grant Morrison's run on Action Comics (New 52) took Lex Luthor and General Sam Lane's hatred of Superman to a new level by having them and their compliant associates refer to the Kryptonian superhero as "it".
In another example that occurred during New 52, Helspont at one point tries to break Superman's spirit by giving him a nightmare where the government is hunting him down. The soldiers yell stuff like, "There it is! Shoot it!"
In Last Daughter of Krypton, Simon Tycho, who wants to capture Kara to make money out of dissecting her body and studying her alien biology, constantly refers to her as a "product" or a "find".

Foundation and Earth: The genetically engineered and hermaphroditic Solarians insist on being called "it", since they are complete, perfect beings rather than half human. Any gendered terms are insulting because they imply that it is less than a whole human. When the characters have rescued a Solarian child, who must now live in a human society instead of among the Solarians (who would kill the child because of the surplus population), they feel more comfortable with a gendered pronoun. The characters call the child "her", partly on the grounds that she is capable of giving birth, making this example played straight.

Fruits Basket:
When Ren argues against Akito (her own child) becoming the head of the family, she persistently refers to Akito as "that". Earlier, she always refers to Akito as "the baby", while her husband calls Akito by name. Possibly justified, since Akito is a girl masquerading as a boy, but Ren obviously doesn't mind pointing it out and/or dehumanizing her child, either.
Kyo's abusive father hated him to the point that he called him an "it".

Fallen London
The Masters of the Bazaar are generally called "it", despite going by "Mr.", although they do get called "he" sometimes. This is because nobody even knows what they are other than "not human".
This doesn't apply to gender-neutral player characters, though, for whom the narrative system will twist itself into knots to call you several variants of "person of indistinct gender" instead of "it". Most of the references being in second-person helps.

In Dragon Age II, it's revealed that the Qunari word for outsider or foreigner is "bas", which means "thing". If you're not a follower of the Qun, you are not even a person. Or if you're a mage, since their word/name for a mage is "Saarebas", meaning "dangerous thing". This is one of the reasons the Qun is not popular with some players.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
The Initiative refers to vampires as "it". Of course, vampires aren't human anyway, but everyone else uses gender-specific pronouns, and since vampires otherwise appear to be human, it would take a bit of mental training to think of one as an "it" by default.
Buffy at first referred to Dawn as "it" after finding out that she is not really human.
In "The Body", Buffy refers to Joyce as "the body". She is horrified at herself for referring to her deceased mother that way.
The First is mentioned a couple of times in season seven by the Arc Words "From beneath you, it devours". Until "Conversations With Dead People".

Mass Effect: Andromeda: The kett refer to all other species in this manner, always calling them "lower lifeforms" or "specimens". They view any non-kett as little better than animals.
Likewise, the Angara initially do this as well when first meeting members of the Milky Way, though this is more due to suspicion and unfamiliarity with Milky Way species. One male Angara even has to be chided for staring at a female Ryder immediately after being told that Ryder is a "she", not an "it". Some of the more xenophobic Angara, namely the Roekaar, continue to use "it" when referring to Milky Way species, which only serves to show similar they are to the Kett they're at war with.

Humorously used once in Nagasarete Airantou. Ikuto defeated the other 3 lords of the island and is now looking for the West Lord, whose identity he never learned. Machi gives him a ride to where the West Lord said would challenge him along with Karaage, the family chicken, that was watching his journey. When Ikuto doesn't see anyone there and asks when the Lord is coming, Machi can't believe that Ikuto still doesn't know who the Lord is and calls attention to Karaage. When Ikuto still takes a while to understand, Machi eventually picks up Karagge in frustration and shoves him in his face shouting "THIS!".

In Octopath Traveler, Lucia wants to use the knowledge from the From the Far Reaches of Hell tome to create magic crystals made from human blood, that have the power to prevent death by natural causes. Her ultimate goal is to acquire all the knowledge in the universe for herself, to fuel her belief in her superiority to everybody else. She sums up her narcissistic and selfish personality with "A human can only learn so much in its short lifetime. I will gain the time, the power to understand everything". Zig-zagged in that Lucia refers to specific individuals such as Cyrus and Yvon by their proper gender pronouns, though considering that Lucia had put on a calm and polite façade to conceal The Sociopath underneath until Cyrus tells her just how cold-hearted he thinks she is, it's left ambiguous as to whether her usage of proper pronouns was just part of her façade or if she really believes nonspecific individuals aren't worth being called anything other than "it", but specific individuals are.

Hollow Knight: Everyone who knows the protagonist's nature, including their own mother, refers to them as an "it" when interacting with them. The same goes for all other Vessels in the game aside from the protagonist, including the titular Hollow Knight. This is a plot point as they were made in an attempt to seal the Radiance in a bug-shaped can, and in order for that to work they had to be completely hollow so she couldn't influence them. If they were treated as people, then they might get the idea that they were people with wills and desires of their own, and that would leave a weakness for the Radiance to exploit. The current Hollow Knight had such an "idea instilled" because the Pale King raised it as his child, which is why the Black Egg Temple is a Leaking Can of Evil... The narrative also leans towards the position that The Pale King's solution to the Radiance and her infection was untenable: A being cannot be completely hollow, and attempting to keep a being hollow amounts to nothing aside from acts of pointless cruelty and dehumanization that no-one should have to go through. Better, then, to seek a different solution.

Rod Allbright Alien Adventures:
Discussed and defied by Tar Gibbons, an alien who is neither male nor female. It tells Rod to use "it" and brushes off his concerns by explaining that "he" or "she" would be more insultingly inaccurate.
Another alien is horrified that Rod refers to his younger siblings as "Thing One and Thing Two", not getting the literary reference.

Prisoners:
Played with. While Keller never ascribes the pronoun "it" to Alex during his torture, he certainly subscribes to the spirit of the trope (denying him his humanity and personhood) by saying that Alex "stopped being a person the moment he took [his and Franklin's] daughters".
Joy also refers to Holly as "it", which makes sense given that she must have come off as a kind of monster (which is true in a way).

In Last Daughter of Krypton, Simon Tycho, who wants to capture Kara to make money out of dissecting her body and studying her alien biology, constantly refers to her as a "product" or a "find".

The Greenhouse: The demon 'Red' does not appreciate the way her host's friend Liv refers to her. In fairness, she is a parasite drinking down Mica's life force, and no one but Mica can actually hear her, which probably contributes to the dehumanization as well. Her host, Mica, starts using feminine pronouns for her and gives her the nickname Red once they start talking, and Mica starts seeing Red as more than a problem and an antagonist. Soon enough, Liv and her family are doing the same.

Cold Case:
Daniela is called "that", "this", and "thing" by Chris's father after finding out that she is trans.
In "Forever Blue", Jimmy describes his gay attraction to Coop as a "curse" and a "thing".

Star Trek: The Next Generation has done this several times, usually in regards to the android Commander Data, who clearly identifies as male and is, ahem, "fully functional".
In the season 1 episode "Datalore", where Captain Picard at first feels inclined to refer to Data as "he", and to Data's newly discovered twin brother Lore as "it". Data calls him out on this and feels uncomfortable at the idea of them being referred to differently when they are both androids. Picard understands and apologizes.
When Dr. Pulaski first sees Data at the helm, she balks at the captain: "You're letting it pilot the ship?" upon which Picard lays a verbal smackdown on her. Given the fact that Data was so popular with the fans that having a one-off character treat him like a machine quickly became shorthand for telling the audience that a character is an asshole, this scene probably was enough to doom Pulaski's character terminally.
In "The Measure of a Man", an episode discussing Data's legal status; Commander Maddox constantly refers to Data as a possession of Starfleet and therefore an "it", until he slips into "he" after a court hearing formally rules that Data has free will and the right to choose.
In "The Most Toys", Kivas Fajo refers to Data as "it" after kidnapping him, reinforcing his view of Data as just another item in his collection of rare objects.
A variant occurs with Worf after his Discommendation. In "Reunion", Duras makes a point of referring to him as "that," as in, "what is that doing here?" Which is pretty rich considering Worf voluntarily accepted discommendation to cover the treason of Duras' father, having been told that civil war would result otherwise.
In "The Outcast", Riker rejects the pronoun "it" for referring to a member of the (genderless) J'naii species for this very reason.
Inverted in "I, Borg". Guinan almost gets angry when she learns that the Borg drone Third of Five has been nicknamed "Hugh" by the crew.
