The idea in fiction that a male character, when wearing pink, actively manages to lose a great deal of his more masculine qualities, or is accused of being gay. This results not just in other people making snarky and rude remarks to him, but may actually result in distinct changes in his character. Tomboys may also object to this color because it's girlish. As can women who think it's childish. The trope is the reason Real Men Wear Pink is named so. When women are seen as sissies for wearing pink, it also fits into Real Women Don't Wear Dresses. If a man is similarly embarrassed or emasculated because he's wearing something that resembles a dress, compare Embarrassingly Dresslike Outfit. A Sub-Trope of Pink Means Feminine. See also Pink Girl, Blue Boy. A likely result of Red Sock Ruins the Laundry. Pink Is Erotic can play into this if the color pink is used to foreshadow the act of sex or reference it but it's usually a subversion since this trope is about the color pink being mocked. Psycho Pink is an aversion since this is when pink is associated with a violent character. |

In Operation Petticoat, the submarine is painted pink, because what could be obtained on short notice was red paint and white paint but not enough of either. | |

Angel. Angel has to hop on a motorbike with Wesley so they can ride off and do a Big Damn Heroes, but the only helmet available is a pink ladies helmet. Wesley shouts him down, saying they don't have time to be stopped by the police, only to quip, "Hop on, gorgeous" after Angel puts it on. Later a vampire has a good laugh at Angel's helmet, only for Angel to smack him in the face with it. | |

The Simpsons: The episode "Stark Raving Dad" has Homer freaking out because his work shirts have all turned pink, due to Bart throwing his lucky red cap into the washer while Marge wasn't looking. Marge insists that it won't be a big deal. Cut to the morning grind, where Burns and Doctor Monroe have singled Homer out for "freakish tendencies" and begin plotting for his sanity evaluation. Bear in mind that most of the bad things that happen to Homer in this episode are clearly his own fault: Upon being given a take-home psychiatric evaluation, Homer loafs around, trying to get other people to fill it out for him. Eventually, Bart fills it out and Homer is predictably thrown into a mental institution when he turns it in without even looking at it. Also, Homer's objection isn't so much to the fact that it's pink, as that it would make him stand out. He says something to the effect of "I'm not popular enough to be different!" | |

Early in her WWE run, Natalya Neidhart said she adopted her new ring gear because there was nothing more humbling that getting beat by someone in pink. But then she really mellowed out, yet continued to wear pink, just seemingly out of tradition. | |

In Foxtrot, Paige once accidentally spilled her sparkly pink pen's ink all over Peter's trademark gray hoodie. Peter is mortified by this and spends most of the next school day wearing another hoodie over his now-sparkly pink hoodie despite the hot weather. Near the end of the day, he finally takes off the cover-up hoodie when he can't stand the heat anymore and learns that the girls actually love that a guy like him has the courage to wear pink. He gets no time to enjoy his newfound popularity with the girls, however, as Andy cleans all the pink off his hoodie the day after. | |

In SOTF-TV each character is sorted into a color-coded team. Everyone on the Pink team happens to be male. Naturally, they tend to get a lot of in-universe mocking, and this hasn't gone without a Lampshade Hanging. The best example would be their mentor reminding two members to put their shirts back on, since Pink Team was being called "the gay team". | |

In Is This A Zombie?, main character (and zombie) Ayumu Aikawa accidentally steals Magical Girl Haruna's powers, which allows him to use her powers... and gets turned into a Cross Dresser in the process. Made a lot more hilarious in Season 2, where he breaks the magical weapon and is unable to erase people's memories of himself while wearing the magical girl outfit, and then it turns out that that actually made him even more popular, much to his chagrin at trying to live a normal life. | |
