Blue or red?
If you chose the blue pill, the character would continue living in the fantasy world and manipulated by third parties. Already the red pill would take Neo to the real and true world.
Meaning in masculinist vocabulary
The "red pills” are the men who oppose the “system that favors women”, because they think they are not faithful or have good character towards men. In the group's view, men should not marry or date, but only have sex, so as not to allow women to be “freeloaders”. (The globe)
Os red pills oppose the “blue pills“, which are men who prefer to date and marry and, therefore, are considered “fools”.
ADVERTISING
Therefore, the pills from the movie The Matrix were “redefined” by mostly white, straight men, who identify with right-wing and far-right political movements.
