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.
