redpilled
What does redpilled mean?
From The Matrix: Neo swallows the red pill and sees reality as it really is. Online, being 'redpilled' means waking up to some supposedly suppressed truth — originally about dating dynamics on Reddit's r/TheRedPill, now applied to politics, diet, finance, anything. Sincere in some corners, deeply ironic in others.
"I got redpilled on seed oils last year and now I can't stop reading labels."
