Red pill is the concept that what is presented as truth by the corporate press is, in fact, a carefully constructed narrative designed to keep some very unpleasant people in power.
My comfortable illusions fed to me by Fox and CNN were shattered when I realized we weren't nation building in the Middle East, but serving the interests of military tech corporations and politicians at the cost of peoples lives. I'd taken the Red pill.

accepting reality for what it is, as you see with your own eyes, and not accepting what other people tell you reality is

Signifies the recognition of the true nature of female behavior, including her attraction to traits of dominance, preference for men with status, attraction to men who have been pre-selected by other women, and hypergamous nature. Red Pill men are aware that women are strongly influenced by the culture and that their attraction cues are often outside of their conscious awareness. Increasingly, modern women, and especially Western women, indulge in one-night stands and short-term relationship in their 20s with alpha males, followed by seeking out a beta male provider in their late 20s and early 30s. Red Pill men are aware of this phenomenon and develop a sexual strategy to benefit from a woman's promiscuity as well as avoid the financial peril of marriage. Married men can also be Red Pill, as their awareness helps them handle female shit tests and maintain attraction with their partner.
A man who has taken the Red Pill is committed to self-improvement and adapting to the reality of female behavior whether that be through the application of game in his relationships and/or withdrawing from LTRs.

Taking the Red Pill is typically followed by more success in relationships and interactions with women.

From the movie The Matrix. The choice between taking the Red Pill or the Blue Pill. To take the Blue Pill means to stay ignorant and live the same unfulfilling life of following the herd. To take the Red Pill means deciding to "wake up" and "go behind The Curtain". Once you see what the world really is you can never go "back to sleep". Realizing the we live in the Matrix. An computer so advanced that we think we're actually inside it.
I took The "Red Pill" , and everything I knew was a lie. I can now see everything for what it really is. Illusion.

The red pill is largely a reference to psychedelics in a scene from the movie "The Matrix". In that scene Morpheus says:
"You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."
Psychedelics, when properly used, help break down social constructs of the world and help people see it for what it really is. This is illustrated in the scene when Neo takes the red pill and he begins to hallucinate in a manner consistent with psychedelics. Soon he wakes up, and for the first time, sees the real world around him. He realizes that since birth he was actually living confined in a small life-sustaining pod among millions of other pods, in what is basically a farm for people created by and run by machines. This imagery parallels our reality as many come to realize, whether through psychedelics or other means, the dogma of everyday life, the lack of individuality, and realize how much control and influence society has over our lives.
(Note: Some recently, as of 2020, have falsely interpreted "the red pill" to be a reference to The Republican Party of the Unites States since that party is often represented by the color red. However, the term "the red pill" was commonly used in association with The Matrix long before, since 1999, when The Matrix was released.)

The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are a popular cultural meme, a metaphor representing the choice between: Red Pill: A life of harsh knowledge, desperate freedom, and the brutal truths of reality. Blue Pill: A life of luxurious security, tranquil happiness, and the blissful ignorance of illusion. It probably originates from the movie "Matrix".
The Matrix's red pill of truth has long been a symbol for the online misogynists of the men's-rights movement.
