Redpilling" is a term, originating from the movie The Matrix, that describes a metaphorical choice to accept a painful or unsettling truth about society, often with the implication of becoming aware of perceived political biases or societal manipulations. While the original concept is about choosing truth over comfortable ignorance, in modern online culture, "taking the red pill" often refers to embracing conspiracy theories, misogyny, and ideologies associated with the manosphere, which is a collection of anti-feminist and far-right communities.

Origin in The Matrix

• • In the 1999 film The Matrix, the character Morpheus offers the protagonist, Neo, a choice between a "blue pill" and a "red pill".
  • Taking the red pill: symbolizes choosing to learn the potentially unsettling truth about the simulated reality of the Matrix.
  • Taking the blue pill: symbolizes choosing to remain in a state of blissful ignorance within the comfortable illusion of the Matrix.

Modern Usage and the Manosphere

• • Political Metaphor:
    In contemporary online culture, especially in the United States, "red-pilled" often refers to an individual who believes they have uncovered hidden societal biases, particularly in mainstream media and politics.
    
  • Manosphere & Far-Right:
    The concept is closely linked to the manosphere, a network of online communities focused on issues concerning men and feminism. Individuals who identify as "red pilled" in this context often accept ideologies such as:
    
    • • Misogyny (hatred of women).
        
      • Conspiracy theories.
        
      • White supremacy and other far-right beliefs.
        
  • Perceived Anti-Feminist Sentiment:
    Many "red-pilled" individuals believe society is biased against men due to the influence of feminism, viewing it as a force that promotes misandry (hatred of men).
    
  • Association with Violence:
    The manosphere and its "red pill" ideology have been associated with radicalization, online harassment, and, in some cases, been implicated in violent misogynistic acts and mass shootings.
