I'm confused about the difference between red and black pill that's being articulated here. To me, red pill is supposed to be the truth. If one digs deeper and finds some new truth, they perhaps it's not a new "pill" but rather the realization you weren't as "red pill" as you thought. There's reality, and there's the bullshit used to mask reality, that's pretty much it.
You're right. People have different spins on this and red pills are truth bombs, but I think the member below explains it best -- and understanding that each pill type/stage is also a mindset is very important.

If you come from a typical blue pill upbringing and SJW indoctrination mindset, you have to learn to see the world as it really is. This takes time. Some of the concepts are easy. Women are attracted to masculine dominant men, and a lot of dating advice for men is actually the kind of behavior that turns women off. If you are ready to receive this fact, you can pick it up in a few minutes. However, it can take years to train your mind to react automatically with a red pill frame. Until you achieve this understanding, and practice it by approaching and seducing women consistently, you haven't fully internalized the red pill.
The same is true with the black pill. Once you have that mindset shift and realize how society is stacked against you in general, and particularly as a man, it still takes a long time to recognize the patterns in place throughout all areas of life. You have to actually reach a point where you understand these patterns, so you can recognize them, anticipate them, and avoid them.
Only once you have achieve the ability to recognize, anticipate, and avoid will you be able to build your bubble that shields you from the fucked up world.
