Bluepillers are recognizable by their susceptibility to voicing the argumentum ad populum fallacy.

However being bluepilled is typically one's original belief system, i.e. the one you were brought up with. | Bluepillers are recognizable by their susceptibility to voicing the argumentum ad populum fallacy.

As the term "bluepill" derives from the 1999 Matrix film wherein bluepillers constitute the vast majority of the population, being bluepilled often (or usually) signifies holding a majority or very prominent viewpoint. The term has evolved to become somewhat synonymous with terms such as "normie" or NPC (non-playable character). Although bluepillers are delusional by definition, the most delusional bluepillers are sometimes called bluepilltard. | As the term "bluepill" derives from the 1999 Matrix film wherein bluepillers constitute the vast majority of the population, being bluepilled often (or usually) signifies holding a majority or very prominent viewpoint.

On incel and [[androsphere]] forums the causes behind the bluepill mentality are often discussed. In the same way that all but a few (the non-bluepilled) within The Matrix were able to see past the smokescreen of the fake world; in our actual modern society, being bluepilled can also mean being easily swayed by the exhortations of outwardly charming trendsetters or a dominant societal narrative. | On incel and [[androsphere]] forums the causes behind the bluepill mentality are often discussed.
