The '''bluepill''' is [[pill jargon]] for unquestionably [[accepting|accept]] what the MSM ([[mainstream media]]), similar conventional sources, and associated [[platitude|platitudes]] (i.e. [[chadsplaining]]) have to say about the dating scene. | The '''bluepill''' is [[pill jargon]] for unquestionably [[accepting|accept]] what the MSM ([[mainstream media]]), similar conventional sources, and associated [[platitude|platitudes]] (i.e. [[chadsplaining]]) have to say about the dating scene. | ||

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 plays an utmost role in social or sexual situations. | ||
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.

The robocracy and cybernetic rule within the film is seen in the [[incelosphere]] and [[manosphere]] as a metaphor for the mainstream media. Normies in the real world and the characters in the Matrix who take things at face value both have a tendency for conformity and succumbing to the clout of mass media technology. The normies within the Matrix world seem to have a proclivity for being artificial rather than organic. These bluepills regurgitate the inbuilt programming of the AI whom seek to nurture within bluepills what it considers to be normal behaviour. This sheeple-like behavior is referred to as "bluepilled." | The robocracy and cybernetic rule within the film is seen in the [[incelosphere]] and [[manosphere]] as a metaphor for the mainstream media.

Voicing opinions that contradict the conventional narrative takes courage because you are confronting the beliefs and opinions of the majority of society. That's why some [[purplepill]]ers, redpillers and blackpillers may view bluepillers as cowards, weaklings, and sissies; because they have an almost stupendous fear of being politically incorrect. Whereas some bluepillers genuinely believe in all the tenets of bluepill, there are other bluepillers who are not so easily influenced to uncritically accept society's mores. This second subset of bluepillers espouses bluepilled viewpoints in an attempt at virtue signaling. Besides these two archetypes within the bluepilled community; the former, the type of person who has drunk the kool-aid; and the latter, the virtue-signaling type, there is also a gender-specific bluepiller: see the gender section for more info. | Voicing opinions that contradict the conventional narrative takes courage because you are confronting the beliefs and opinions of the majority of society.
