It's been decided that Manhua and Manhwa examples shall be placed into their own folders. Moving example to the correct section.


* ''Manhwa/{{Chonchu}}'' plays with the concept. While the eponymous main character may appear as your regular AxCrazy BloodKnight who lives to kill, deep down he ''really'' wants to be shown affection, especially from a woman who could soothe his damaged mind and calm his outbursts. And the only woman who can do that in the series so far is, quite ironically, his nemesis' fiancée.

* ''Film/BillAndTed'': The boys are PlatonicLifePartners, but when they ManHug in celebration that Ted wasn't killed by an evil knight, they instantly get embarrassed and chide each other with "Fag!" Once that's out of the way, they instantly revert back to their standard friendly enthusiasm.

Red even explains that it's only ok for a man to say "I love you" to another man when they're drunk, [[DyingDeclarationOfLove one of them is dying]], or if they're in big trouble and it's the only way out. Otherwise, it's just a given.

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Played straight with Ranma and his father, Genma. They never hug or tell each other that they care; they very rarely have personal talks. The thought of getting parental affection from his dad is so weird to Ranma that Genma once used an attack against him that consisted only of an overly affectionate hug, which totally freaked him out. Growing up with the Real Men Hate Affection mindset could explain why he [[HatesBeingTouched doesn't really like being touched]] and seems to only have love/hate relationships with the people he's closest to. (i.e. [[ThreeAmigos Ryoga, Akane]], etc.)

* Averted in ''Film/AcrossTheUniverse2007'', with Max and Jude. They only knew each other for about a year, yet they are doing the MeadowRun by the film's end.
* The two ''Film/BillAndTed'' movies both have moments where the boys respond to a display of male affection with "Fag!" In the first, it follows a ManHug between the boys when it turned out that Ted wasn't killed by an evil knight. In the second, the boys say it to their evil robot duplicates to try and stave off death; the robots deliver the line, then [[DisneyDeath throw them off]] KirksRock anyway.

[[folder:Visual Novel]]
* Discussed in ''VisualNovel/TheFreshman''. At a party, Manny, [[JerkJock an aggressive football player]] who is heavily implied to be ArmouredClosetGay, is ranting to his teammate Zig about his girlfriend dumping him. When Zig puts a hand on his shoulder, Manny assumes that because Zig is being nice to him and even ''touching'' him, he must be gay, so Manny kisses him. Zig is shocked, and Manny tries to pass it off as him being drunk and confused because Zig touched him. Later, when the main character accompanies Zig to help him talk to Manny about the incident, Zig mentions that he's upset with Manny, but also partly understands where he's coming from. He talks about how society gives men terrible messages about what it means to be a "real man" (which is sadly TruthInTelevision), and Manny struggled with the same stuff Zig did before he came out.
