In many RPGs, chaos is the big bad thing that turns you into

>But how come order is always a good thing
order being a not as good as it seems is a cliche older than you are

Refusing to listen to your pulsions makes you emotionless rather than mindless.
Also, even in Moorcock's works, order wasn't all flowers and sunshine. Neither is it in 40k.
Not to mention settings where the system is bad, like Dredd or any cyberpunk rpg.

Ps: I suggest you read some Durkheim on how societies progress towards complexification and order.
Order is a natural thing, despite what edgelords say.

>>50568286
Because order IS always a good thing. Chaos leads to the disruption of power and the loss of law, which in turn leads to anarchy. None of these are a good thing.

Found the statist.

Chaos and order are both troublesome in the extremes, a happy society requires a flexible balance between the two.

No, a happy society requires obedience and order from all of its citizens, no exceptions. If we are easy on those that break the law and succumb to chaos, our governments would collapse.

Go home Kublai Kahn. You have an empire to run.

First of all, this is false.

Second, fantasy and to a lesser degree sci-fi are genres based on legend and mythology. The theme of those legends and mythology depended highly on the ideology of the ruling classes, who modified it directly or indirectly every time they could. Order is always good for those who benefit from the statu quo.

I generally avoid saying one is better than the other, but I do have my preferences. I particularly feel more comfortable as a free, capricious spirit that follows its dreams and ambitions like a fleeting gust of wind.

I COULD spend my days enraptured in endless orgies, shared intravenous drug use and smashing innocent maidens skulls while raping them, but I'd probably get bored and rather than become desperate to find a more extreme high form of random, nasty shit, I would rather use my freedom of mind and soul to turn my pursuits to something else more edifying and constructive. Being chaotic means having the disposition to make YOURSELF a better person, instead of making yourself a better cell/fragment in benefit of your hive.
