I’m sure there’s outsiders and fake fans who are going to try and sob that this is Millenial Liberal Politics or something but I don’t know anyone who ever thought it was anything but stupid and boring for the setting to assign alignments to entire species. Everybody who saw “Always Chaotic Evil” or “Always Lawful Good” on a monster immediately wanted to do the opposite with it and would just do it anyway. It never had a practical purpose that anybody cared about.
