Listen. You need to go out and touch some grass. No one is making a moral argument here. We're debating a game's alignment system and how to understand it. In terms of the game's systems, self-interest is evil. Devils are extremely self-interested and do nothing for the greater good or general welfare.

Yes and I think you have no idea what you're talking about so take that grass touching advice for yourself and stop replying to my comments with the dumbest shit I've heard on this site. "Self-interest is inherently evil!" the fuck it is.

Look, I'm an atheist so I don't believe in evil. That being said I'm not 13 so I also don't have a hard-on for Ayn Rand to the point where I get enraged when other people talk about self interest.

I never said anything about it being "inherently evil". You're putting words in my mouth. You'd realize that if you actually took some time to cool off.

In the context of D&D, how self-interested a character is determines their moral alignment. It's a loose description of a mechanic.

No one is making claims about the real world.
