I’m not hip to the lingo
____pilled is a mindset. Black is depressed, given up, etc.
What’s the pill color for “eh, it could be worse”?
Burnt Sienna
I’ve been burnt (sienna’d) b4
I nominate beigepilled.
I’d argue that isn’t really ‘pilled’ at all, as I’d say ‘pill’ ideology requires some level of caring one way or the other, but I assume someone somewhere has assigned a color.
Gen Z loves their labels, I’m sure someone has designated it
Kk what’s pink?
I think that’s where trans people give oestrogen to men without their consent. I don’t know if it has actually ever happened, though.
Wot.
I don’t know man, look it up.
I did and didn’t come up with any of what you just said. What I’d heard is that it’s girls who are unattractive and believe that means they’ll never find romantic or sexual success. They’re probably right unfortunately. I wish everyone could look good.
Faecal-transplant pilled
The common lingo originated from the movie The Matrix, where Neo was given the choice of taking the red pill and waking up in the real world, or taking the blue pill and staying in the fake fantasy that was his life.
4chan adopted the term and started calling themselves “redpilled,” claiming that they were removed from the happy fantasy promoted in popular culture (wife, kids, decent job, etc.) and could see life for the harsh, cruel reality it truly was.
The mindset spread to Reddit where a community popped up (r/theRedPill), espousing sexual strategies for men in a society where they felt sex was highly unattainable for their gender. It turned into a very misogynistic subreddit, hating on women who “could get laid anytime” and didn’t respect the plight of men who struggled for simple affection from the opposite gender.
Being “redpilled” took on a negative connotation, turning into a darker, conservative term to support men’s struggles in life while at the same putting down women. Its original meaning has been corrupted into a warped idealism for men. One could argue it’s promoting the opposite of its origin; fighting to create a fantasy world for men to flourish without effort instead of introducing them to the reality that their struggles are all self-inflicted and needed hard work, patience, and determination to overcome.
The term became well enough recognized that “_____-pilled” started introducing other concepts of being introduced to harsh truths in the world. In this case, blackpilled, meaning to give in to despair and depression in an uncaring, cruel world.
It has to do with going alt-right. Elle Reeve wrote a book about it. If you prefer video, she did an interview with Adam Conover.
