A term used by conservative internet users to favourably describe their own sociopolitical viewpoints; at its most basic level, it means to have been made aware of something obscure or forbidden.

It originates from 1999 film “The Matrix,” written and directed by Cis Gendered men who transitioned in 2007-8, in a scene where the protagonist is offered a choice between a literal blue pill to “wake up…and believe whatever he wants to believe” and a red pill to “stay in Wonderland, …be shown deep the rabbit hole goes,” and join a rebellion against the simulated reality he lives in.

Has exactly the same denotation and exactly the opposite connotation as “woke.”
Man 1: “Damn the trannies are trying to teach 2 year olds about men’s penises! That’s Sexual exploitation and abuse towards a child!”
Man 2: “Holy shit bro you’re Red-Pilled as fuck, Awesome, let’s lynch trannies!
