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. | Although the bluepill and redpill are opposites, they do not necessarily equate to opposite political/social positions.

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.

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 a worldview that aligns with the just-world hypothesis, feminism, platitudes, the mainstream media, and cliche viewpoints. On the other hand, for many omega males, the redpill began to signify having abandoned or being "woke" from these beliefs, which in the androsphere had supplementary beliefs such as women being privileged in modern society began gaining a foothold. | 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.

Upon the shutting down of some formerly purplepilled incel forums and websites in the 2000s and 2010s (see [[incelosphere timeline]]), and the influx of men from various male-dominated forums, the definitions of the incel and androsphere blue/red pill began to converge somewhat and remains in flux till this day. | Upon the shutting down of some formerly purplepilled incel forums and websites in the 2000s and 2010s (see [[incelosphere timeline]]), and the influx of men from various male-dominated forums, the definitions of the incel and androsphere blue/red pill began to converge somewhat and remains in flux till this day. | ||
Merely rejecting the narrative of the bluepill, makes one "ex-bluepilled," "nonbluepilled," or [[purplepilled]]. However, actively opposing the bluepill, means you may fall into any of the other pills (see [[pill jargon]]). Someone who exhibits bluepilled thought processes is a ''bluepiller'' or sheeperson, a term derived from ''sheeple'', a term which itself has a lot in common with the bluepill. | |||
