The '''bluepill''' means unquestionably accepting what the MSM ([[mainstream media]]) has to say, and by extension, [[platitude|platitudes]] (i.e. [[chadsplaining]]) in the dating scene. It has developed to mean an inability to see nuance, a belief in the just-world hypothesis, being unenlightened to the harsh realities of the world, views that align with cliches and feminism. It is the preference of believing in comforting or convenient tropes, especially when it concerns a person's world view, with emphasis on the pretense or opinion that goes contrary to the research suggesting physical attraction is utmost in social or sexual situations. | The '''bluepill''' means unquestionably accepting what the MSM ([[mainstream media]]) has to say, and by extension, [[platitude|platitudes]] (i.e. [[chadsplaining]]) in the dating scene.

Bluepillers are recognizable by their susceptibility to voicing the argumentum ad populum fallacy. Although the bluepill and redpill are opposites, they do not necessarily equate to opposite political/social positions. The divergence pertains to ''how'' one has reached those positions. However being bluepilled is typically one's original belief system, i.e. the one you were brought up with. As such, bluepilled views in, let's say a liberal pocket of western Europe, are not the same as bluepilled views in the deep south of the United States. In laymen's terms, being bluepilled means being unable to produce original thoughts and a mindset that favors rehashing established ideas that have already been relayed to said person. | Bluepillers are recognizable by their susceptibility to voicing the argumentum ad populum fallacy.

Although during his Thomas Anderson persona is semi-bluepilled, his alter ego Neo gradually becomes more and more redpilled. The protagonist in the film, Neo, was always suspicious of bluepilled life, he nonetheless remained (sort of) bluepilled in the early segments of the film, which can be ascertained by certain statements he made such as "You ever have that feeling where you’re not sure if you’re awake or still dreaming?" after meeting Choi at his apartment. He made this statement after Trinity gave him his first redpill clue by transmitting a hacked message to his screen; Neo's response suggesting that the redpill clue was otherwordly hence was dreaming suggests he remained bluepilled. His mental breakdown after receiving the redpill from Morpheus, including the statement "I don’t believe it. It’s not possible" suggested that even during his redpill transformation, he was somewhere between bluepilled and redpilled; i.e. [[purplepilled]]. | Although during his Thomas Anderson persona is semi-bluepilled, his alter ego Neo gradually becomes more and more redpilled.
