Chapter Title: Lookism
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"It's not noticeable since I took it off over my clothes."
Lookism.
A social culture where people judge and evaluate others based on their appearance, even in situations unrelated to looks, leading to discrimination or dismissal.
Typical examples include prejudices like, "That guy looks fierce, so his personality must be rotten," or "He's handsome, so he must have a great personality."
Of course, no one gets to choose their looks at birth.
With relentless self-care, effort, and modern technology, you can push the limits of your appearance to the max.
But that's just 'adjustment' at best—it can't change the destiny of your innate bone structure or facial features.
In the end, it's impossible for everyone to achieve a universally appealing look through acquired means.
Yet people routinely discriminate and mock others just for being ugly.
— Viewer Whoa... you look fucking ugly. — Viewer Ever thought about hitting the gym? — Viewer What's your hobby? Anime or something? I wasn't a beneficiary of lookism either.
I didn't think my face was that bad, but people's evaluations said otherwise.
— Viewer Hey, your mom would puke seeing your face. The pinnacle was my senior in the military.
— Me I don't have a mom, sir. — Senior ...Huh? Uh... s-sorry, man... He only commented on my face that first day—never again after that.
I never really resented being born with an ugly face anyway.
Romantic relationships weren't on my radar, and I didn't dream of some distant future or have a clear vision.
— Girl Hey, you're totally my type. Mind giving me your number? The moment I became a lookism beneficiary overnight was the same.
Going back and forth to the PC bang near my place, I'd catch people's stares, and folks kept asking for my number.
— Me Sorry, I have a boyfriend. The problem? I used to be a guy.
Even as a woman now, getting courted by dudes from a former guy's perspective wasn't exactly thrilling.
If it were another woman hitting on me, maybe...
Hmm... nah, thinking about it, that's not great either.
Maybe I've transcended gender altogether into something else.
Anyway, why am I bringing this up?
— Viewer Just grab a celeb pic and jerk off to that instead lmao "Celeb photo...? Oh."
Click.
I was curious just how high-tier my new look really was.
"Got a photo. I'll use this as reference for customizing."
My sense of beauty might be a bit warped, but objectively, my current appearance wasn't bad at all.
Sure, someone might say taking a selfie instead of using a celeb pic is too self-indulgent when they suggested a celeb photo.
But honestly... I don't think my looks lose to any celebrity's.
If a girl with a face like this approached me first, I'd suspect she was a gold digger or in a cult before anything else.
Anyway.
When customizing my character, the top priority is always 'originality.'
Cute or pretty? Not interested.
What matters is having a face that stands out from the crowd.
In that sense, my character looking exactly like me...
Isn't that the most unique customization possible?
[Anon donated 1,000 won!] — Viewer Here we go~ — Viewer [Used Appearance Change Ticket] ◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Ias customization splits into two main categories.
Facial features—eyes, nose, mouth, hair, etc.
And body proportions—limbs, chest, waist, hips, etc.
"We gotta start with body proportions, right?"
— Viewer Yeah — Viewer Body first no question — Viewer Do face first and you'll have to scrap everything when adjusting body lol According to the chat, tweaking the face first makes body adjustments look awkward later.
So most players refine the body frame first, then fine-tune the face on top.
[Anon donated 1,000 won!] — Viewer Pic or nah? "It's a secret."
Obviously, I hadn't shown my face to viewers yet.
Honestly, I wasn't planning to until the day I quit streaming.
This level of looks would make face reveals way more advantageous for the stream,
— Pastor Kim Pastor here. — Pastor Kim Prayed for you today, Min-ji. Hope you have a safe and peaceful week. but doing face cams might get me recognized.
And if Pastor Kim finds out...
— Viewer Damn your voice is hot af... — Viewer What color panties today? — Viewer Yo dipshit stop posting gay kiss memes — Viewer What's your cup size, streamer? Hmm... continuing the stream would probably be impossible then.
That'd be a problem.
— Viewer Super curious lol — Viewer We'll see it when it's done anyway — Viewer Saintess gonna check the cup size lol "Ahem, anyway, let's tweak the body first."
In some god-tier RPG, body type might affect stats in super realistic ways.
But in our trash game Ias, whether your char's a toddler or a hulking giant like Choi Hong-man, hitboxes are the same.
So most players set height a tad below average to look more agile.
Of course,
⚔ STATUS ⚔ Body [- 200MAX +] — Viewer Lmao — Viewer Figured the char looked kinda tall, it was maxed — Viewer Height MAX for real? I'd caught that Hongdae disease again and just slammed it to MAX.
"...Around 95 should be good?"
— Viewer Yeah — Viewer 95 is like 160cm IRL — Viewer That's average female height ⚔ STATUS ⚔ Body [- 95 +] Height's set. Now the important stuff.
⚔ STATUS ⚔ Chest [- +] — Viewer This one's crucial — Viewer Saintess checking cup size lol — Viewer 200 MAX gooo lmao [Anon donated 1,000 won!] [Bigger is always better. I love that saying.] But I don't really know my own size.
...Wonder how big this is?
"Hmm."
Glancing down, I saw the hefty mass asserting itself even under my baggy short-sleeve tee.
Feels pretty big, but no clue on the exact measurement.
"Not sure about my cup size..."
[Anon donated 100,000 won!] ⭐ Top Comment — Viewer Just match your own size lol — Viewer Lmao — Viewer 'Fruit with label' — Viewer Pinpoint pricing lol Huh, how'd they know?
That was my plan from the start.
"That's what I was gonna do, but I don't even know my own cup size..."
— Viewer ? — Viewer ? — Viewer ? [Anon donated 5,000 won!] — Viewer Wtf if you don't know who does? I might not know. Why rag on me for it?
Try waking up as a girl overnight like me.
⚔ STATUS ⚔ [- 120 +] "No choice, just gonna eyeball it around here..."
[Anon donated 1,000 won!] — Viewer It's on your bra tag — Viewer How tf does Namgoong know that...? — Viewer Fr? — Viewer Didn't know that Hmm.
Is that so?
"One sec..."
Snap.
"This won't show from outside, right?"
— Viewer ? — Viewer No way lol — Viewer You didn't... lol [Anon donated 1,000 won!] — Viewer No way right? One perk of becoming a woman over my guy days: way more dexterous hands now.
At first, even putting on a bra was a struggle, but now I can unhook it one-handed like a pro.
"Let's see... 75G...?"
— Viewer Wtf she actually did it lol — Viewer G??? — Viewer Lmaoooo — Viewer Proof pic shows it's big but damn — Viewer Huge lol [Anon donated 1,000 won!] — Viewer Crazy bitch why check that in public [Anon has been kicked from the channel.] "I said match the price, right?"
— Viewer Insane lol — Viewer Did she really just check now? — Viewer Isn't she at a PC bang? [Anon donated 1,000 won!] — Viewer Teacher, do you know doing that in public is public indecency? "Psh, it's fine. Private booth, and I did it over my clothes—no one's gonna notice~"
— Viewer R-right... — Viewer Don't expect common sense from her lol — Viewer All she knows is spamming the gallery... — Viewer But tits are big tho — Viewer Voice still hot tho "...Keep that up and you'll get kicked?"
— Viewer Srs — Viewer Sorry I'm thoughtless sometimes, but I'm not that clueless.
[Anon donated 1,000 won!] — Viewer But fr G cup? [Anon has been kicked from the channel.] "Sexual harassment = price match."
— Viewer This is just asking tho?? — Viewer Lmaoooo — Viewer Girl... Maybe 'cause the rules are new.
Way too many violators...
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Upper body done in the body category, lower body tweaked somehow—halfway through customization now.
Next up: facial features.
Not confident, but it's just copying the photo in front of me. Shouldn't be too hard.
...
Fuck, this is insanely hard.
Why won't it sculpt like I want?
Looks fine from the front, weird from the side.
Fix the side, and front looks off.
Never expected a simple customization to hit like a brick wall.
Whatever...
Just do what I can.
"Done?"
— Viewer Ass — Viewer Any celeb look like that? — Viewer Jaw protrudes like crazy ...
"Pretty decent, right?"
[Anon donated 5,000 won!] — Viewer Your aesthetics are truly fucked — Viewer Fr lol — Viewer Customization skills trash af — Viewer Eye size wtf ...
[Anon donated 5,000 won!] — Viewer You're doing this on purpose right you fuck "What now?!"
— Viewer Do we gotta spell it out.. — Viewer Lmaoooo — Viewer She looks hilarious — Viewer Uncomfortably ugly wtf ...
[Anon donated 1,000 won!] — Viewer Just scrap it — Viewer Fr — Viewer Can't customize yet talks originality — Viewer Just grab from shared site? — Viewer Celeb? Yeah celeb Ugh, annoying.
⚔ STATUS ⚔ Body [- 200MAX +] — Viewer Uh oh — Viewer Saintess what you doing?? — Viewer Crazy You paid up, I was gonna make it pretty for your discerning eyes.
Why keep ordering me around?
⚔ STATUS ⚔ Skin Color RGB: 000000 — Viewer No no bad — Viewer Back to black skin — Viewer That's racist Fine, I'll do whatever I want.
[Anon donated 1,000 won!] — Viewer This bitch snapped [Anon has been kicked from the channel.] "Price."
— Viewer Kicks even mid-rage lol — Viewer Price matters — Viewer Dare to insult for 1k — Viewer Price op lol ⚔ STATUS ⚔ Hair Preset Bald "Phew!"
— Viewer Lmaoooo — Viewer Looks so refreshing — Viewer (Seal broken) — Viewer J-just... do whatever you want... Finally, breathing room.
