Pinkwashing

The act of using breast cancer to guilt consumers into buying a product which, if it had not been for the advent of aiding the cure for cancer, they would not have bought.

KFC: Together we can make the largest donation in Komen history.

Consumer: Stop pinkwashing me, you fuck-head! Why wouldn't I just donate money to breast cancer if I wanted to?! Everyone knows you benefit more than the cancer foundations!

Pinkwashing

Riding on the LGBT rights while promoting ones political hatred.
E.g. Anti-immigration and far-right groups performing “gay pride” events at locations with a large Muslim population to insult Muslims or to expose alleged anti-gay hostility among Muslims.

"Are those Neo-Nazis campaining for LGBT rights?"
"They're just pinkwashing again"

Pinkwashing

Making history or any event seem a lot more positive toward females then it was it actually.

Person one: “girls didn’t have hard back then, it was really men who had it hard. Women had so much power,”

Person two: “no they didn’t, stop pinkwashing history”

Pinkwashing

When the police use firehoses to control an Antifa protest.

Lots of wacky colored hairdos and strange odors from the crowd until the cops started pinkwashing them.
