red-pill, internet code for someone who is hateful of women and finds anyone who criticizes their irrational focus to be delusional. Coined from the Matrix movie where taking the red pill would wake a person up to the reality of their circumstance beyond the matrix.

Especially notable for the circular logic inherent in the process of rejecting any contrary ideas without consideration of the argument itself, made possible via the shorthand of simply referring to them as blue pill and accusing them of willful blindness or brushing them off as a victim of a delusion that red pillers alone are aware of.

This group, perhaps unsurprisingly, has strong overlap with those who feel they have a natural born right to sex, and that any rejection by a woman, real or perceived, is a violation of this right. Sometimes referred to as involunarily abstinent.

Psychologically it follows as turning deep seated insecurity about oneself outward - and transforming it into hatred and blame directed at women is far more palatable to the psyche - even if ultimately it causes severe mismatch between reality and their perception. Hence the deflection by way of accusing others of being delusional.
