Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Intolerance
That seems an accurate statement.

But that's not to say someone couldn't take Intolerance ("Intolerant" People), they'd just have their own definition of "Intolerant" that wouldn't match either the dictionary definition or the GURPS technical usage. We all know what the intent is here right - some flavor of hyper-political-correctness.

But the way I envisioned the trait, it was about reacting prejudiced against those who support the existence of Acceptable Targets. Of course, by turning them into Acceptable Targets, one starts a contradiction. As far as I see, there are three ways of resolving the contradiction:

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Intolerance
The problem being that Intolerance doesn't necessarily mean that you support the existence of "Acceptable Targets". It just means that there's something that causes you to react to some people with more than the usual hostility because it's something you particularly dislike.

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Intolerance
I don't think you need to be able to tell the difference between say orks to be intolerant of orks.
You can have zero idea if an ork is a peon or a chief, or what tribe an ork belongs to, and still being intolerant of an ork just knowing they are an ork In fact, you can be Intolerant of orks and know nothing about them, leaving you free to invent all the important facts about orks 1. Orks are not nature 2. Orks are very promiscuous and breed with everything, like dire praying mantises 3. Anything that attacks you, especially if it is any way green or bleeds green etc it is probably ork kin 4. Orks are masters of disinformation and propaganda, nothinng orks write can be trusted 4b. If anything that is not ork kin attacks you, it might be because orks tricked it into doing so 5. There will always be more orks, killing orks is a sustainable eco friendly practice 6. Orks murder baby trees to make salads 7. Half orks are not actually orks, thus they are groovy The difficulty is how do you be properly intolerant of orks when you haven't seen an ork for weeks in game? Btw if anyone has any other Very important ork 'facts' I would love them. I love playing up the Intolerance (orks) angle in a game I'm playing in so more such wouod be appreciated |

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Intolerance
I've always liked everybody knows (vile opponent race) is so cursed that if too many of them are around the gods will inflict a natural disaster to wipe them out, along with everybody else in the area. Your Sense of Duty to anybody else in the vicinity [requires] you to slaughter them for everybody's safety.
