Bluepill
Stable🎒High School🔶Manosphere originDefinition
The opposite of 'redpill.' In manosphere communities it means someone is 'naive' and hasn't 'woken up' to the supposed truth about society and gender. But like 'redpill,' the word has leaked into broader internet culture where it loosely means 'naive' or 'normie' without the ideological baggage. Used as a casual insult in gaming and general internet banter.
Translation for Parents
Calling someone 'bluepilled' basically means calling them naive or clueless. Some teens pick this up from general internet culture and use it the same way they'd say 'normie' or 'clueless,' without any connection to manosphere ideology. It's more niche than 'redpill' went, but it's not always a pipeline signal. If your kid is using it casually in gaming or internet banter, it's probably just an insult. If they're using it specifically about gender or relationships ('you're bluepilled about women'), that's the manosphere talking.
Dad Mode: Likely a Meme
I know this site is mostly jokes. But I'm still a dad. This one started in The Matrix (1999) → manosphere forums as counterpart to 'red pill'. Your kid is probably just memeing. But if you're hearing a bunch of these together, maybe ask about it over pizza.
Examples
“Bro you're so bluepilled it's crazy”
“You're naive and don't see how things really are”
Cringe Score
Please don't
If someone calls you bluepilled, congratulations, you probably have a healthy worldview and don't spend 6 hours a day on Reddit. That's a win. Most teens using this are just calling someone clueless, not recruiting for the manosphere.
