blue-pill

Male enhancement pill

Blue-pill means to choose comfortable illusion over harsh reality, from the 1999 film *The Matrix* where taking a blue pill returns the protagonist to blissful ignorance.

To blue-pill someone is to keep them unaware: The media blue-pills the public.

As a noun or adjective, it describes those who accept mainstream narratives without question: He's totally blue-pilled.

The term is common in online subcultures, often with conspiratorial or political overtones.

Contrast with red-pill.
