redpill
Disturbing truth revealed
Redpill comes from the 1999 film *The Matrix*, where taking a red pill reveals harsh reality while a blue pill preserves comfortable illusion.
To redpill someone is to awaken them to a supposed hidden truth, especially one that challenges mainstream beliefs.
The term has been adopted by various online communities—men's rights activists, political dissidents, conspiracy theorists—each claiming to offer the real truth others can't see: I got redpilled on the pharmaceutical industry.
Someone who is redpilled has undergone this awakening.
The word carries connotations of smugness about possessing forbidden knowledge.
