      Big pharma ruined the metaphor by changing the pill colors.

      The blue pill was an antidepressant, the red pill was estrogen.

      Also the main villian is a man in a suit who constantly deadnames the protagonist. The matrix is real life.

        I wonder if they did it intentionally.

        Changing the pill from red to blue basically cost them nothing and served no purpose, but just so happened to ruin the metaphor.
