Intolerance

-1 point

Intolerance (p. B140) is merely a nasty quirk if you rarely
encounter the target group. Ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex,
social class, and species aren’t your only options. For instance,
“Can’t stand drunks” is a quirk unless you work at a drinking
establishment, as is “Dislikes communists” in a place with no
appreciable communist presence.
Intolerance assumes unwarranted prejudice. If a group treats
almost everyone poorly enough to justify near-universal fear or
loathing, then being more negative toward them than usual is
just a quirk, however often you encounter them. The salient dif-
ference between a person with “Hates cannibals” and one with-
out is who the cannibals eat first . . .
In either case, all the rules for the full disadvantage apply.
They just don’t come into play often.
Broad-based quirk-level Intolerance is Chauvinistic (p. 17).
You can combine this with the above options. If you do, any
resulting reaction penalties are cumulative – an exception to
quirks not “stacking.”
