A red piller is someone who believes that women are actually the privileged group instead of men. The argument goes: although women don't inhabit the highest echelons of power, the vast majority of men don't, either. For the most part, women have it better. People hold doors for them. They get less severe sentences (and charged less) in court. A woman can get men to give them free things at a club, whereas, if a man asked for the same from a woman, he'd be told to fuck off. Women have large and efficient support groups while men don't.

It's called redpilling because of the scene in "The Matrix" in which Morpheus offers Neo the red pill or blue pill. Only the red pill will show him the uncomfortable truth. Red pillers see themselves as having been awakened to the uncomfortable truth that women have it better than men.

Their teachings can be found at the subreddit "theRedPill", which talks about, among other things, how to be a pickup artist and how to beat a woman and get away with it.
A red piller is not necessarily an incel, but there is overlap in the populations.

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

A red piller is someone who is proficient (or at least thinks that they are) in the act of redpilling. In most cases, the red piller is politically motivated and attempts to lead their target to their side of the political spectrum through a variety of mediums- most commonly memes, (edgy) jokes, and (mis)quotes.

While there are examples of red pillers all over the political spectrum, they are most prevalent on the far left and right, along with fringe groups of fascists, communists, or anarchists -recently being used nearly exclusively by the right wing.

The "red pill" term comes from The Matrix, in which a character chose between a blue pill and a red pill, where the blue pill would let them live freely and without knowledge of the inner workings of their world, and the red pill would allow them to "wake up" from their ignorance, and learn the "truth."
Person 1: "Wow, this guy's woke, they must be a red piller."
Person 2: "Nah, they're just cringe."
