From my browsing 4chan, I gather that “blue pilled” is the term for being brainwashed by the strict orthodoxy of “social justice warriors”, while “red pilled” means you’ve liberated yourself from SJW thinking. Pre-reform Starlight Glimmer is often compared to SJWs, considering her insistence on blind obedience to her notions of “equality”. Thus, she’s the “blue pilled” version. Post-reform Starlight was liberated from that kind of obsession with control, so she’s the “red pilled” version.
 
here’s an article that talks about them which I enjoy. it’s primary focus is the concept of the black pill but it explains red and blue.

I think a lot of people are getting this concept mixed up with the specific politics of individuals. it’s supposed to be a little more general, I believe.

except…Red Pill guys rage almost as hard as their blue counterpart, and these days they get increasingly misogynistic. Just go visit the redpill subreddit and MGTOW subreddit and you’ll see. Also red pill guys can also be seen as truthers and you know they don’t listen to reason.

In other words how i like to see it
 
Blue Pill = Social Justice Warriors  
Red Pill = Sane rational human beings.

It depends on whether we’re talking blue pill/red pill strictly in terms of the metaphor from the Matrix (a state of sleepy conditioning vs. enlightenment), or whether we’re talking in terms of the alt-right MRA types who have co-opted the metaphor to cast their ideology as The Truth™ (which is a little ironic, since the Matrix was written and directed by two liberal transgendered women).
 
If the latter, this image is almost laughably inaccurate.

a lot of people also go through the so called “red pill rage” when they find out everything they were taught from childhood was a lie.

No, her ignorance made her go crazy and steal cutie marks
while her reality made her realize the true pain and suffering on this worlde
 
well, blue pilled represents a “delusional, sleeping” state. Blind to reality and so simply believing that everything is going to be ok. Whereas red pilled represents a “woke” state where you realize the world is all messed up and you want to fix it (but you pretty much can’t.)
 
so yeah this is backwards
