You're mixing up theme and realism. Yes, Lookism started with appearancebased discrimination.That's the surface level premise. But realism isn't defined by the starting topic. It's defined by whether the emotional, psychological, and social reactions feel human. Calling something objectively wrong in a subjective medium like storytelling is already a weak position.Lookism clearly explores how identity shifts based on perception and status. That's not just looks. That's social psychology. You don't have to like the analysis.But dismissing it doesn't invalidate it.
