* Also in football, Brazilian team Atlético Mineiro once made its [[https://juniorlouzada.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/038523245-ex00.jpg training jerseys pink]], something supporters of ArchEnemy Cruzeiro [[NeverLiveItDown will never forget]].

* The ''Harry Potter'' fandom had a collective fit in the fourth film when Emma Watson wore a pink dress to the Yule Ball instead of a blue one like in the book. Cue dozens of HateDumb comments saying that Hermione is a person that hates pink and would not wear the colour - to the point where it was actually listed briefly as a 'Character Error' in the Goofs section on the film's IMDB page. This is forgetting that Hermione wore a pink dressing gown in the first book.

** 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 out and Homer is predictably thrown into a mental institution when he turns it in without even looking at it.

* In [[SurvivalOfTheFittest 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 LampshadeHanging. The best example would be their [[VoiceWithAnInternetConnection mentor]] reminding two members to put their shirts back on, since Pink Team was being called "the gay team".

* The SAS are some of the hardest and toughest pro soldiers in the world. Yet they discovered the best camouflage colour for some types of desert is a vivid salmon pink. Nobody cares to challenge the masculinity of soldiers who go to war in pink vehicles...

->''"A... heart? [[InnerMonologue (I feel my masculinity going... going... gone.)]]"''

* In ''RedVsBlue'', 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.

* [[Film/ReservoirDogs "Why am I Mr. Pink?"]]
** "Because you're a faggot, alright?"

* The the ''Literature/AlcatrazSeries'', Alctatraz Smedry complains about having to travel in a flying vehicle shaped like a pink butterfly. He says it is not masculine enough.

* In ''{{Strays}}'', [[http://www.straysonline.com/comic/167.htm Meela can pose as a servant -- or wear a pink dress!]]
* In ''SquidRow'', [[http://squidrowcomics.com/?p=1805 Randie does not quite love a pink Vespa]].
* in ''BobAndGeorge'', [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/001031c Megaman objects to being the Pink Ranger.]]

* In on of the many revivals of Marvel's ''Amazing Fantasy'', Miguel The Mage has this reaction when Anya Corazon show up to work with a pink vespa.

-->-- '''[[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]]''' on his new [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Equestrian]] attorney badge, ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm''

* In ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'', [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix]] receives from [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]] the Equestrian Attorney Badge. It's a pink heart-shaped badge, and he's not the least bit amused by it. Even Pinkie Pie, a '''{{pink|MeansFeminine}} [[AllGirlsLikePonies pony]]''', cracks up at him for flashing that thing around.

The trope is the reason RealMenWearPink is named so. When women are seen as sissy for wearing pink it also fits into RealWomenNeverWearDresses.

* In ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'', main character (and zombie) Ayumu Aikawa accidentally steals MagicalGirl Haruna's powers, which allows him to use her powers...and gets turned into a 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 [[IJustWantToBeNormal live a normal life.]]]]

* Calvin believes this ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'', as [[ComicallyMissingThePoint he's more concerned by a man's house being painted pink than the horrible paint job.]]

* One ''{{Friends}}'' episode centered on Ross trying to retrieve his [[InsistentTerminology "Faded salmon!"]] shirt from his ex's place.
* Mentioned on ''ModernFamily'', "Mother's Day":

* Early in her Wrestling/{{WWE}} run, Wrestling/NatalyaNeidhart said she adopted her new ring gear because there was [[JerkJock nothing more humbling that getting beat by someone in pink.]] But then she [[TookALevelInKindness really mellowed out]], yet continued to wear pink, just seemingly out of tradition.

* In ''VideoGame/EscapeFromMonkeyIsland'', Guybrush is greatly distressed to find out that his new ship is pink. Later on, he gets to try a lava rendition of water amusement ride intended to be part of wedding rituals at an ominous cathedral dedicated to LeChuck. All of the boats that are seen passing through the boarding zone are black. Guybrush ends up getting a pink one.

* Early in her Wrestling/{{WWE}} run, Wrestling/NatalyaNeidhart, said she adopted her new ring gear because there was [[JerkJock nothing embarrassing that getting beat by someone in pink.]] But then she [[TookALevelInKindness really mellowed out]], yet continued to wear pink, just seemingly out of tradition.

* Inverted in ''FanFic/AGhostStory''. Diamond Tiara tries to invoke this trope in main character, making him wear a pink suit during [[spoiler:his apologies for scaring the living daylights out of her with [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]] song]] to make him feel miserable, but Spooky actually ''like'' his new attire, and even burst in song to prove that he is really don't care about the color. Which is leaves Diamond Tiara mouth agape, to say at least.

* In ''VideoGame/EscapeFromMonkeyIsland'', Guybrush is greatly distressed to find out that his new ship is pink.

* In ''LightNovel/KoreWaZombieDesuKa'', main character (and zombie) Ayumu Aikawa accidentally steals MagicalGirl Haruna's powers, which allows him to use her powers...and gets turned into a 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 [[IJustWantToBeNormal live a normal life.]]]]

** While it's clearly valid ID (the guards don't laugh, and the prosecutor notably never takes a shot at it), there's no hint that any of the other attorneys in Equestria wear one of these badges - or at least a pink heart-shaped badge specifically. Given where the badge came from and how, it's possible there's a bet going as to how long he can be made to wear it.

* In ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'', [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix]] recieves from [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic 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 '''[[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] [[AllGirlsLikePonies pony]]''', cracks up at him for flashing that thing around.
