Becoming “red pilled” is when you break free from believing what society tells you to believe and instead believe whatever other red pilled people tell you to believe so you can be just like all the other unique people

Feeling sad, down, or depressed because of having knowledge about something.
The red pill represents "knowledge, freedom and the (sometimes painful) truth of reality" so you can sometimes get the blues (sadness) from it.
The opposite of ignorance is bliss.
Person 1: Hey why you so down in the dumps lately?
Person 2: Just learned some more about the world, just the red pill blues I guess.

Originating from the movie The Matrix, this colloquial term means to face the hard reality instead of staying inside the comfort zone of fantasy. Synonym of "face it". Antonym of "take the blue pill".
After procrastinating for 5 hours on the Internet, I decided to take the red pill and start the long essay assignment.

The feeling that many people with depression get when they feel like they finally see the world as it is, like the veil of ignorance has been lifted from their eyes, and they see it as if everyone who is happy is just blissfully ignorant and fooling themselves, and that they've uncovered the unfortunate truth.
"I wish I could go back to when I was a child and didn't know anything about the world. I used to be all about seeking the truth, no matter how much it hurts y'know, like taking the Red Pill over the Blue Pill, but, now it hurts so much that it almost feels like I Overdosed on the Red Pill"
From the first Matrix movie. Taking the red pill opens the soon-to-be Neo's eyes to the fantasy that he had been living in. Morpheus says to Neo "You have to understand that many people are not ready to be unplugged, and many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."
Contrast with taking the blue pill. If Neo would have taken the blue pill, he would have stayed within the Matrix and been blind to reality.
Morpheus asks pre-Neo Keanu to take the red pill. As Neo reaches for the red pill Morpheus warns Neo "Remember, all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more."

Something that is bold and correct but also something a vast majority disagree with,
Tied to red pilled which means to flee from false myths in exchange for getting a better understanding of the real world
Sometimes but not limited to having right-wing beliefs
Tim: Radical feminists are so cringe, they say women are oppressed when men face much more hardship
Joseph: Based and red pilled
