I'm slightly surprised they kept the red pill / blue pill, after it's since been heavily co-opted.

  kudos to them for reclaiming it. always found it ironic that the alt-right co-opted the creation of trans women

    > always found it ironic that the alt-right co-opted the creation of trans women Especially since its not just the creation of trans women, but something of an extended metaphor of trans experience.

      "See reality for what it truly is." Many fringe groups (political and otherwise) believe they've achieved some kind of transcendence and can see through the fabricated facade that is the precieved reality of the world. They've taken the red pill in their mind.

    agreed. i can't wait to see wachowski subvert the "redpilled" meme. i mean, the trailer starts out by saying "triggered" so i have a strong suspicion this will be the case

    The alt-right did not co-opt the term. It was somewhat co-opted in some "manosphere" men's rights movements, not the alt-right.

  What would the movie be like without it?
