light and dark are not good and evil
there is a lot of overlap, but there are assumptions about Ontological Correctness in "universal alignment: good", while light/dark to me reads as positive/negative not good/evil

words matter
>>
>>98236701
Because positive can be bad and negative can be good? I guess. If we are talking about your STDs test.

A Positive STD test is great. Gotta catch 'em all!

Simple as. Also, DnD sucks, I'd rather Shadowrun's Karma and V:tM's Humanity.

It seems to be based on SMT's alignment system.
Law is Hierarchy and social roles
Chaos is freedom and instincts.
Light is everything associated with good and revered.
Dark is every associated with evil and wickness.
Light-Law is Christianity.
Dark-Chaos are demons.
Light-Chaos is Asian religions and the cycle of destruction and creation.
Dark-Law are gods of negative qualities that must be appeased to prevent their wrath, messengers of doom, and demonic personifications of hum wickedness.

Then how come every pathetic faggot here cries "semantics semantics" whenever they're losing an argument?
>>
>>98236603
oh cool, SMT Nine
genuinely more based alignment than muh good and evil

>>98237319
people hate losing arguments, and on this website I can yell SEMANTICS! WORDS! DEFINITIONS! and then tell myself I won and close the thread.

>Light-Chaos is Asian religions and the cycle of destruction and creation.
...as interpreted by western hippies.
>>
>>98237454
As interpreted by Japanese Nationalist into esotericism.
>>
>>98237145
In this case, light and darkness are more akin to creation and destruction instead of good or evil. Which usually extends to their motivations, with guys like light-law wanting to establish or reinstate a new permanent world order while dark-chaos are trying to essentially flip the board entirely and get everything scrubbed. Which in the multiverse of SMT isn’t necessarily a bad thing unless you’re a human.
>>
>>98236617
Damn dude. You just fucking killed him.
>>
>>98237454
Chaos in SMT seems to play off esoteric Buddhism, especially more extreme sects like pic related which were involved in political assassination attempts against politicians and businessmen they saw as too western, mixed with a bit of Yukio Mishima.
>>
>>98237145
Dark Law is Christianity as viewed by Japan
It's the brainwashing dictatorships that Law endings usually entail
>>
>>98237319
Because usually the fag obsessing over semantics is talking about the most tiny fucking minutia that isn't actually part of the argument, or is attempting to avoid the point

I would argue it also has elements of Shinto and neopaganism in it, since a lot of the demons that espouse the philosophy as an actual philosophy are either polytheistic nature deities or ones that were literally demonized by the abrahamic religion, like the demon Astartoth who is bitter about losing his original form of the goddess Astarte and mainly working with Chaos forces to regain their former glory and identity.
>>
>>98238448
That's light-law the brainwashed dictatorship is viewed more positively or at least as equal to chaos in Japan.

Judge dredd is like the definition of neutral law. He doesnt use the law to get ahead, and he will both isocube someone good who stole bread for their family and someone bad who did a rape.

Light means Revered, Dark means Feared, and both of them have the potential to be good or evil. YHVH being an example of an evil Light-Law.

I bet you would like 4th edition's alignment. It's a straight line of Super Good, Kinda Good, Neutral, Kinda Evil, Super Evil.

I still believe chivalry / underhandedness is a better spectrum

Light Law: Self-sacrifice, charity, equality
Dark Law: Authoritarianism, control, complete conformity
Light Chaos: Liberty, freedom, nature
Dark Chaos: Might makes right, survival of the fittest, cull the weak
Neutral: Wheelchair. Monkey. Tuxedo.

Remove Chaotic Good and the alignment system makes perfect sense. It hurts the symmetry but LG and CN are made more retarded to accommodate CG. The "Good" aspects of CG can be shifted to LG or NG. The Chaos aspects of CG can be shifted towards CN otherwise CN is the literally mentally ill alignment.
