Black Pill

Black Pill (/blæk pɪl/) is a term that originated from the online communities, particularly within the sphere of the internet culture known as the "manosphere". The term has been widely used to describe a certain philosophical perspective that is often associated with a pessimistic view of life, society, and human nature.

Etymology

The term "Black Pill" is derived from a metaphorical scenario presented in the 1999 science fiction film The Matrix, where the protagonist is offered a choice between a red pill, representing an acceptance of harsh reality, and a blue pill, representing blissful ignorance. The "Black Pill" is an extension of this metaphor, representing a belief in the futility of efforts to change one's circumstances or society at large.
