A line by Cypher in the same film indicates that for some people, non-truths are more palatable than truths, i.e. through the line he communicates to Neo: "I know what you're thinking, 'cause right now I'm thinking the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here: Why, oh why, didn't I take the Blue pill?" When coupled with his sentence a few scenes later wherein he says "ignorance is bliss", it is clear that some people are not brave enough to face the harsh realities of this world. Similar to Cypher, they would rather that complicated or difficult obstacles be wished away so they could continue to live in their fairy-tales. The plot of the film later reveals that Cypher defects from the resistance in the hope of being plugged into the fake virtual world again. | A line by Cypher in the same film indicates that for some people, non-truths are more palatable than truths, i.e. through the line he communicates to Neo: "I know what you're thinking, 'cause right now I'm thinking the same thing.

Over the course of the 2000s, frequenters of the incelosphere began seeing two discordant views begin to develop that seemed somewhat analogous to the contrasting view of perspectives between redpillers and bluepillers in The Matrix. Thereby, the term bluepill began being used to signify feminism, platitudes, the mainstream media and cliche'd viewpoints whilst the redpill began to signify being "woke" from these beliefs and believing that women rather than men were privileged in modern society. | |||
