Nobody who has looked at the studies on the subject can deny that lookism exists, and is, in the 2010s, perhaps even more hurtful and pervasive than racism, homophobia and sexism.
However, you should also be aware that the recognition of racism, homophobia and sexism as problems to be solved is very recent, and has faced a lot of opposition/criticism before winning and becoming mainstream. I think lookism is currently at the "early ascent" stage and that explains why we face so much hatred and opposition.
Well until the 1960s, Blacks were treated as second-class citizens and you could find many people to support this. Well into the 1980s, the New York Times used to run anti-gay pieces, and gays were widely seen as disgusting or inferior. It took time for public opinion to evolve.
I believe the mistreatment of ugly/fat people in modern society is very similar to these past cases. CuckTears and anti-incel journalists are exactly like those who supported the Jim Crow laws or were against gay prides.
Academics are only starting to realize lookism exists. Until it trickles down to the media, and then to the masses, it will take decades more. We are also unlucky in the sense that Hollywood may not become our ally as much as it was for blacks and gays. I've noticed subtle blackpills have started to appear in movies and TV series, though. Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones is one such example.
