Social Stigma (Clanking Masses) - It only applies for humanoid synthetic morphs?
Is it correct that the Social Stigma (Clanking Masses) only applies to cases and synths? There's no Social Stigma attached for being a non-humanoid (Arachnoid, Slitheroid, Swarmanoid, etc.) synthetic morph? Also, am I correct in assuming that Synths using the Synthetic Mask option have their Social Stigma (Clanking Masses) and Uncanny Valley traits suppressed unless the synthmorph's true nature is known?

Easy interpretation: Only

Easy interpretation: Only morphs with the disadvantage listed have it.

Interesting Interpretation: Only morphs with the disadvantage listed have it. Other synth morphs can buy Social Stigma (XXX), where "XXX" is some word for inhabiting a morph too far from the human baseline. "Creepy" perhaps.

Also - That seems reasonable.

Yes, Clanking Masses was only
Yes, Clanking Masses was only applied to cases and synths because they're the lower-end morphs that were mass-produced to meet people's resleeving needs. Other synthmorphs are rarer, more high-end, and more specialized, so aren't considered as low-class (though in certain social circles, any synthetic morph might be consider prole).

And, yeah, Synthetic Mask would negate those traits.

That's exactly the answer I was looking for. Thank you sir.
