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. Since the bluepilled state was the initial position of most characters in The Matrix, being bluepilled in the real-world also suggests holding onto well-established attitudes and perspectives. 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.
