Lookism

A newer word for discrimination or predjudice against people based on their physical appearence and gender exspectations. Lookism discriminates against both "beautiful" and "ugly" people, as it is predjudice against a person for the way they look, positively and negatively.

Also the preconcived notions or stereotypes on a person because of how they look, or their gender.

"Beautiful woman will be paid more then less attractive woman in the work place beause of their appearence." -that is lookism.

Lookism

1) A term used in the Incelosphere .It refers to the belief that physical looks is the most,if not the sole,influential factor in how people perceive others during a limited period of social interaction.

For an incel this is true especially in the realm of dating,where many of them point to Lookism as a reason why they are extremely ill-fated in finding a girl.Many arguments has been made to defend Lookism,and a huge part of them point out to human evolutionary behaviour as the reason why lookism exists.
Exempli gratia: Women sees face with broad forehead and high cheekbones(a result of low 4d:2d prenatal androgen tetosterone exposure) as attractive and handsome due to the fact that a man with a higher level of tetosterone is usually better at gathering resources and protecting her than,say,a soyboy.
Closely related to the Halo Effect.

2)The title of an awesome Korean manhwa about how a fatcel becomes a chad whenever he sleeps.Big thanks to author Park-nim for the awesome series.

"John tries to copy Chad's approach to women in hope of replicating his succeses.
Unfortunately for John he ends up being suspected as a potential school shooter and a Ritalin addict instead of getting laid because he is just so damn ugly.Lookism at work,Comrades!"

lookism

1. When all else fails, make it an "ism".

2. A negative stereotype stating that because one has little or no interest in their personal hygiene, appearance, or social aptness, they are typically dull, ugly, and unsavory people. Unlike other stereotypes, this one tends to be true.

3. A side effect of natural selection and survival of the fittest.

"You won't hire me because you're lookist!"
"No, I won't hire you because your inability to fit in with society is not fit to represent my company, and because your sloth in your hygiene probably represents a lack of concern for many other things besides your personal appearance. Plus, accusing people of lookism for not wanting to associate with your smelly ass is pretty stupid."
"... oh"
