A form of
intolerance; a condition which causes a person to react in an unusually
extreme manner when exposed to a specific
semiotic stimulus, or
'meme-allergen.'
Exo-toxic meme-complexes typically confer dangerous meme-allergies on their hosts. Often, the actual meme-allergens need not be present, but merely perceived to be present, to trigger a reaction.
Common meme-allergies include homophobia, paranoid anti-Communism, and porno phobia.
Common forms of meme-allergic reaction are censorship, vandalism, belligerent verbal abuse, and physical violence.
