Does anyone think Power Rangers should have a male Pink Ranger?
With a lot of men wearing pink nowadays, I think it could work as long as the character isn't gay or effeminate. A gay/effeminate male Pink Ranger would be seen as promoting gay stereotypes, which is only suitable for a series rated TV-MA. Two of my Power Rangers fanfiction teams (Power Rangers Fairy Magic and Power Rangers Global Force) have male Pink Rangers as the leaders of the teams and neither of them are gay. |

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that pink is your favorite color. Nothing wrong with that. And just a little tidbit of info, as a gay man, I hate the color Pink. I also hate Purple. Granted I love Kyoryu Purple/Violet, but only because of her dinosaur. I also hate any colors that are variants or shades thereof the previously mentioned colors.
But a str8 male Pink Ranger would be interesting to see done.

Nokaman, my pet project Sentai, has a male pink. Heck, the only reason he's pink is because his suit motif and mecha is a pig.
And he's also about as effeminate and camp as the squid in a trucker cap from Squidbillies. |

I just don't see it going over well, especially in Power Rangers.
Do recall that at one point Bandai tried to pass off the Dino Charge Triceratops Zord as purple. Personally I'd rather see more female blues, but that's another subject entirely.

MPR, on another side note, do you know what kind of can of worms you may have opened? Just thought I'd ask. *chuckles*

I don't know how well it'll work in Power Rangers, but as an idea I don't think it's too bad. As long as they don't play into bad stereotypes it should be fine as any colour.
I'd love more female blues too, and maybe more along the darker main blue rather than the Cyan they like to use.

Agreed. I don't really like female pink and yellow rangers TBH. Blue and White work better in my eyes as female ranger colors.

Personally no offense but I say no because well usually pink rangers get the shaft on power rangers because they are either damsels in distress, annoying, or just plain rude/crazy. (Btw i hate that pink rangers are treated badly. Just saying so i don't get called a sexist.)That and if their was one he'd most likely be gay and Saban would be getting a lot of hate from any homosexual male viewers.

I don't think we'll ever see a Pink Ranger be leader of the team (at this point it's Sentai tradition that Red is the leader). I would dare say we'll get a female Red before we get a Male Pink. Just because in the US the color pink is now seen as a gender neutral color thanks to social activism, in other cultures pink is still seen as a feminine color.
aka - if Sentai doesn't do it, USA won't do it, and the question of whether or not Sentai will do it will depend on where their social activism is currently in regards civil rights regarding gays and lesbians.
