redpilled
Converted to heterodoxy
Redpilled describes someone who has undergone a supposed awakening to hidden truths, especially political ones.
The term comes from *The Matrix*, where taking the red pill reveals reality.
Originally used in men's rights and pickup artist communities, it spread to broader right-wing discourse: He got redpilled on immigration after watching those videos.
The term implies others remain deceived, still "bluepilled." Often used self-seriously by believers and mockingly by critics.
