As in The Matrix, if you had access to the Red Pill and the Blue Pill -

You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and you believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

Knowing full well what it means, would you ~make~ people take the red pill?
However you like to answer: as if you're just speculating about being a character in the movie, if you want to take it as metaphors for things in "real life", if you think "real life" is a Matrix of sorts - mechanical, spiritual, mental, whatever.

Do you? Do you not? Why or why not?
I know the "right" answer to this. Someone argue for me the "wrong" one.

Equilibrium is restored.

Decent chance of showing up to the Masquerade tonight.

The red pill's just a meaner variant of the blue pill. They're both constructs made to suit various temperaments -- what you thought the "real" world had grown men running around in John Woo mecha? Please.

Some people can't be satisfied with the good life; everything has to be harsh. So feed them the red pill so that they can wallow in their misery and take delight from the suffering prevalent in the world around them. The "real" world's full of all the sociopaths and psychos who can't find a way to be happy on the blue medication. And good riddance to them. In the meantime, more steak and strippers please.

Awesome take on it.

By the way, odds are increasing that I'll be able to attend game day!

Awesome. Having you there would be very cool.

But you'll also have to make the themed Arkham Horror night, complete with mythos movies, that I'll be setting up for early February. :)
