For conventional proponents of the redpill, their stance on any specific redpilled issue becomes obsolete as soon as the precursory bluepill stance ceases being imperative within society. They propose that when sticking to its original etymology, the redpill is never a positive belief in and of itself, but rather is defined by a reaction to a precursory stance, i.e. Some argue that the redpill is not political. Part of redpill also overlaps with neoliberalism. A particularly striking example of the general overlap between the redpill segment of the manosphere and the right-wing would be that the first major self-identified redpill dating community was started by a congressman that represented the American Republican Party ( r/theredpill). A fourth 'pill,' the ' purplepill,' is seen as a more middle-of-the-road pill that acknowledges some 'red pill truths' while denying other core aspects of the redpill.Īs (at least in liberal democratic Western countries) masculinist views have a not insubstantial overlap with right-wing politics, the redpill, in the broader sense, is also commonly used to refer to the endorsement or adoption of certain right-wing political views. Most redpillers, under the influence of pick-up artists, place more importance on 'game' (in this sense, sexually seductive or dominant behavior, however this is defined) more than looks or even money or (objective) status. However, as physical attractiveness is improvable for most men to some extent, the distinction between these pills often boils down to what traits are emphasized as attractive to women and their degree of importance. The blackpill also typically emphasizes male looks as a strong determinate of their dating success compared to the redpill. As such, it is generally much more fatalistic than the redpill. In reference to dating, the blackpill is the redpill that emphasizes things presumed to be out of one's control. Out of the redpill was developed another pill, known as the blackpill. Accepting this and adjusting one's behavior and values accordingly are often depicted as a key component of 'taking the redpill.'Īntecedent to other pills

They typically justify this by saying that modern society essentially incentivizes free rider behavior. They also commonly portray the contemporary mating market as essentially a zero-sum game for men and therefore often advise that men adopt highly egoistic, and in the extremes psychopathic levels of selfishness as a method of improving one's dating/general life success. In terms of dating, the redpill generally emphasizes self-improvement, confidence, and high levels of mating effort as the keys to being sexually successful. However, there is no clear and unified definition of the concept. In these circles, the 'redpill' is typically defined as recognizing that most males are seen as disposable, modern society is inherently gynocentric, that women are hypergamous maters who are also generally highly deceptive towards men (particularly as it comes to what male traits they are innately attracted to) and the endorsement of masculinism. In the narrower ideological sense, the redpill has been adopted by such diverse subsets of the manosphere as PUAs, MGTOWS, MRAs to some self-identified incels.

This metaphor has since been extended from that colloquial sense of rejecting mainstream falsehoods to denoting a certain ideological framework (in the eyes of certain redpillers who claim to be more objective, a 'praxeology,' or overarching theory of human behavior) that is applied to fields as diverse as dating and politics, and the suffix -pill itself has essentially become a meme, spawning a whole class of internet jargon. Someone who holds a certain amount of redpill beliefs is called a redpiller. The rejection of the redpill in favor of the bluepill meant a deliberate denial of that harsh reality.

This term derives from the movie The Matrix, where 'taking the red pill' means accepting harsh reality. The Redpill is a rejection of and opposition to the 'bluepill' (however this is defined).
