Line 1: {{trope}} {{quote\|''"A... heart? [[Inner Monologue\|(I feel my masculinity going... going... gone.)]]"''\|'''[[Ace Attorney ~~(Visual Novel)~~\|Phoenix Wright]]''' on his new badge, ''[[~~Turnabout Storm (Fanfic)\|~~Turnabout Storm]]''}} The idea in fiction that a male character, when wearing pink, actively manages to lose a great deal of his more masculine qualities, if not outright 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. [[Tomboy~~\|Tomboys~~]]s 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 sissy for wearing pink it also fits into [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]. Line 10: A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Pink Means Feminine]]. See also [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]. {{examples}} == Anime == * In [[Kore wa Zombie Desu Kaka?]], 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~~Crossdresser]] 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 {{spoiler\|that actually made him even more popular, much to his chagrin at trying to [[I Just Want to Be Normal\|live a normal life.]]}} == [[Fan Works]]: == * In ''[[~~Turnabout Storm (Fanfic)\|~~Turnabout Storm]]'', [[Ace Attorney ~~(Visual Novel)~~\|Phoenix]] recieves from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic ~~(Animation)~~\|Twilight Sparkle]] the Equestrian Attorney Badge. It's a pink heart-shapped badge, and he's not the least bit amused by it. Even Pinkie Pie, a '''[[Pink Means Feminine\|pink]] [[All Girls Like Ponies\|pony]]''', cracks up at him for flashing that thing around. {{quote\| '''Phoenix:''' ''(Even the citizens of this place can see this thing looks embarrassingly stupid...)''}} == [[Film]] == Line 26: == Literature == * The the ''[[~~Alcatraz Series (Literature)\|~~Alcatraz Series]]'', Alctatraz Smedry complains about having to travel in a pink flying vehicle shaped like a ~~pink~~ butterfly. He says it is not masculine enough. == [[Live Action Television]] == * One ''[[Friends]]'' episode centered on Ross trying to retrieve his <s>pink</s> [[Insistent Terminology\|"Salmon red!"]] shirt from his ex's place. * Mentioned on ''[[Modern Family]]'', "Mother's Day": {{quote\| '''Cameron:''' We hate when people treat us (gay men) like women, Okay? We don't want to go to your baby shower, we don't have that time of the month, and we don't love the color pink.~~<br />~~ '''Mitchell:''' You love pink.~~<br />~~ '''Cameron:''' No, pink loves ''me''. }} * On [[Star Trek: ~~the~~The Next Generation]] in the episode Qpid [[Great Gazoo\|Q]] threw the bridge crew into his recreation of [[Robin Hood]], giving [[Proud Warrior Race Guy\|Worf]] the role of Will Scarlet, with a matching pink and red hued wardrobe. Worf was not content, protesting that he was not a merry man. == [[Tabletop Games]] == * Player-created joke unit [[Bishonen\|"Pretty Marines"]] from ''[[Warhammer ~~40000~~40,000]]'' have lavender paintjob and rose motifs. == [[Video Games]] == * In [[Escape ~~From~~from Monkey Island]], Guybrush is greatly distressed to find out that his new ship is pink. == Webcomics == * In ''[[Strays]]'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20110829070042/http://www.straysonline.com/comic/167.htm Meela can pose as a servant -- or wear a pink dress!] * In ''[[Squid Row]]'', [http://squidrowcomics.com/?p=1805 Randie does not quite love a pink Vespa]. == [[Web Original]] == * In ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'', when Donut gets his own colored armor — and it turns out to be pink, however much he insists it's really lightish red — this becomes the impetus for his [[Flanderization]] as the series goes on. * In [[Survival of the Fittest\|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 [[Voice ~~With~~with an Internet Connection\|mentor]] reminding two members to put their shirts back on, since Pink Team was being called "the gay team". {{quote\| '''Mike Patterson:''' "Oh, uh hello again. I forgot to ask, but um, would one of you boys mind putting on a shirt? People are calling Pink the um, well... 'Gay Team' - err, I mean, not that there's anything wrong with that, um, if you are. Uh yeah, that's all. Take care."}} == [[Western Animation]] == Line 64: [[Category:Characterization Tropes]] [[Category:Pink Is for Tropes]] [[Category:~~Pink Is for Sissies~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
