The '''bluepill''' is [[pill jargon]] for unquestionably accepting what the [[normie]] [[fakestream media]], similar conventional sources, and associated [[platitude|platitudes]] (i.e. [[chadsplaining]]) have to say about the dating scene. A '''bluepiller''' is someone who holds bluepill (i.e. [[fakestream]]) beliefs; bluepillers are also referred to the [[manosphere]] as "the unwoke". | The '''bluepill''' is [[pill jargon]] for unquestionably accepting what the [[normie]] [[fakestream media]], similar conventional sources, and associated [[platitude|platitudes]] (i.e. [[chadsplaining]]) have to say about the dating scene.

The bluepill has developed to mean an inability to see nuance, a belief in the just-world fallacy, accompanied by [[virtue signaling]], being unenlightened to the unpleasant realities of the world—thereby maintaining the ''status quo'' and their argumentum ad populum proposition. 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. Naive optimism is therefore a characteristic trait of bluepill. Bluepillers often interchange cause and effect by believing misfortune is the result of a negative outlook on life, not the other way round. A specific example of this mindset is the pseudo-scientific law of attraction theory found in New Thought books like ''The Secret'' and ''The Power of Your Subconscious Mind'', which temporarily influenced [[Elliot Rodger]], who then thought he could win the lottery by strongly believing in it,<ref>Elliot Rodger: ''My Twisted World. The Story of Elliot Rodger'', Isla Vista 2014, p. 106.</ref> which however never happened. | The bluepill has developed to mean an inability to see nuance, a belief in the just-world fallacy, accompanied by [[virtue signaling]], being unenlightened to the unpleasant realities of the world—thereby maintaining the ''status quo'' and their argumentum ad populum proposition.

Although the bluepill and redpill are opposites, they do not necessarily equate to opposite political/social positions. Concerning their [[Individualism|belief that the individual has huge control of the outcome of events in his life]], bluepillers are often (unintentionally) similar strong advocates of [[neoliberalism]] as redpillers, though many of them might disagree with this because they are [[SJW]]s. Since a lot of them are SJWs, bluepillers usually believe however, unlike redpillers, in [[social constructionism]] and reject [[PUA|pickup artistry]] as something "reactionary" and "far-right". 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.
