What? "Chaotic good" and "lawful evil" are common terms. Why are you trying to split up the grandparent post's wording in a way they very obviously didn't intend?


You really don't understand the split then, huh? Break the law, but don't harm anyone = Chaotic.

Help people (be a medic) = Good.

I mean, just because you don't like someone doesn't make them bad.


Except they're not supposed to be split. Just like splitting "therapist" into "the rapist" doesn't capture the intended meaning of the thing, neither does splitting "chaotic good" into "chaotic" and "good" capture the intended meaning. Someone of chaotic good alignment is one who "combined a good heart with a free spirit. These characters acted as their own conscience directed with little regard for the expectations of others. They were often kind, benevolent, and strong individualists who were hostile to the claims of rules, regulations and social order.[1]" I don't give two figs about which horse you have in this race- splitting a phrase to distort the intended meaning is bad faith, full stop. That's all I came to say. But thanks for being condescending in the defense of your fallacious claim, it gave me a good chuckle.
