All of us want to do good! And with all that's been happening in the past few years, every kind deed is more than welcomed, no matter how big or small.
From spying on your friend's Spotify to check on their emotional state to disrupting an anti-abortion protest, there are plenty of ways to let people know you care. Some even choose very chaotic ones. As if they're acting solely as their conscience directs them, without any concern for what others expect of them.
The subreddit r/chaoticgood is exactly the place for all of you do-gooders whose methods are a little disorganized. This online community with almost 180K members is the place for you to post your chaotic actions.

No, You Get Candy!
The moderators of this subreddit explain that chaotic good is a character that "values freedom, for herself and others, and views the welfare of all as her business. She cannot tolerate cruelty or intimidation, and works to dismantle hierarchy and domination.”
Like stealing another person's underfed dog in order to save its life. Or dressing up as the Grim Reaper to remind people that there's still a pandemic going on. These are only a few examples of how this community does the right thing with little regard for laws and regulations.
Absolute Dominance
One of the subreddit's main symbols -- its name -- is a clear reminder of a popular fantasy tabletop role-playing game called Dungeons and Dragons (commonly abbreviated as D&D or DnD). As the title suggests, it's a magical world of over 300 creatures like giants, dragons, warlocks, dwarves and many more.
First published in 1974, D&D has long been part of popular culture and still remains one of the best-selling games in the US. During its forty years of history, the developers have created captivating board and video games, also novels written by its fantasy authors.

"We Have Found A Witch, May We [applaud] Her?"
As stated in their official website, “The core of D&D is storytelling. You and your friends tell a story together, guiding your heroes through quests for treasure, battles with deadly foes, daring rescues, courtly intrigue, and much more.“ In short, one player, the Dungeon Master, facilitates the game, controls the monsters and narrates the story. Others develop the characters and improvise on how they react to the story.
Yep. Kindness Begets Kindness

It's a great place to be anyone you want to be. Not to mention a perfect environment to discuss the concept of good and evil. Dungeons and Dragons even has an alignment system to help you create your little fantasy creatures. It also helps you categorize your character from an ethical and moral point of view.

In the original version, players were allowed to choose among three alignments: lawful, chaotic and neutral but since then it has evolved into nine alignments (and a 10th option for creatures operating on instinct, not moral decision-making).

You've guessed it, Chaotic Good is one of these alignments. In the official player's handbook, its even got a nickname—Rebel. These type of "creatures act as their conscience directs, with little regard for what others expect. Copper dragons, many elves, and unicorns are chaotic good“, as is stated in D&D's basic rules.

Genius Idea
Chaotic Rub
To get an idea of what such a character would look like, we could imagine a modern-day Robin Hood. Rebelling against authority as a way to protect the poor from poverty and suffering is one of his key traits. On top of that, he believes that the only way to do good is to dismantle the hierarchy and he can never be tied down to any organization.

Well, supernatural beings and fantasy worlds aside, we all know that it feels good to do good. The concept of “good“ might be thought of as something worth having or doing and enhances the life of those who possess it. But as the moderators of r/chaoticgood say, good is a relative term.

When we help others, we actually help ourselves. According to Dr. Stephen Post, "The evidence for the benefits of giving is now extremely powerful, and suggests that healthcare professionals might wish to recommend such activities to patients.“ Helping others fills your life with happiness, improves your health and can even make your life longer, as his research shows.

Another study came to a very similar conclusion; “doing good” may be an important avenue by which people create meaningful and satisfying lives. That's why so many people participate in meaningful activities such as volunteering. This only confirms that pleasure-seeking behaviors do not bring us as much happiness as... making others happy.

So it seems that the ends justify the means after all. It all becomes even more magical when the nature of chaotic good acts become alive in real life. Just remember, kind deeds make everyone feel a little bit better, so do one whenever you get the chance. Even if it's in the most chaotic way possible!

I hope that he means it in a caring friend kind of way and not trying to take advantage of her when she's vulnerable. It's hard to tell just by the post.

Interesting Title
This Looks Like It Fits
For Sure
You need to draw a line somewhere in regards to freedom of speech.
Yes, freedom of speech usually ends (just as every other freedom) at the point when you attack other people's dignity and health. For some reason, right wing Americans seem to think that freedom of speech includes intimidating and abusing individual people and even death threats (but not of course, criticizing trump or so). If that is freedom of speech, then showing an idiot what you think of him e.g. by stealing his sign is also...
Load More Replies...'Freedom of Speech' does not equal 'Freedom from Consequences.' Just for info, in general.
You will still be arrested for theft, though. And the police will put the cuffs on you. There's a video about a woman who did this and what the consequences were. Just search "woman steals sign gets arrested" on youtube. Freedom of speech works 2 ways, you know. I'm not against abortion, but I'm against undermining democracy.
You are free to say what you want. You are not free from the reactions to your comments. Sure, the woman will get arrested, but you can hardly argue that this is "undermining democracy." These are people standing outside abortion clinics shouting slurs at the people who go inside. It's not a town hall.
Load More Replies...I'm pro abortion. Abortion seems bad at first but think what if something bad happened that she never wanted the baby in the first place!
I’m pro life. However, I only believe in abortion if the baby is dead, has a condition that won’t let them live during birth, or are the result of rape or incest. I’m someone who was born before marriage, and it hurts to hear that people are destroying a separate being because of a mistake that they themselves made. Some women do become pro life after they had an abortion. It’s been said that it is incredibly damaging to the woman’s mental health. I also understand that adoption is overpriced. We need to lower the price of adoption so that more people who’d love to have a child but can’t afford getting it, as they are too poor. Yes, There are people who’d love to have a family, but they just can’t afford it. In fact, there are women who terminate their own baby as they don’t feel safe having it. (Home situation with a child that is violent, I’ve read stories like these on Reddit). However, a fetus is not the mother’s own body. It is a separate living thing, growing within the safety…
Load More Replies...Yep! Would so do this and sure if there are consequences to me, fine. I just allowed a few women to enter a clinic in peace. I'm good with that.
And Ryan continues to be a despicable person who should have been aborted
I'm all for free speech, but not hateful speech, and anti-abortion advocates go too far.
This is honestly my favorite so far. Wish I could upvote more than just once.
Yes, fair enough. But that's still larceny and police can still take action against you. I want to hear the end of this story.
I tell men (who are always the loudest about anti-abortion), "When you can get pregnant, then you can have an opinion on abortion."
Freedom of Speech as long as it doesn't cause undo emotion trauma, such as harassment over a private medical decision.
I thought the person was grabbing the sign and leaving, causing people to follow her, so the people going into the clinic wouldn't have as many people harassing them. I don't get the whole freedom of speech turn this post took.
They wasted police time and resources because someone took their widdle sign...
The logic of this always escapes me. It's like a neighborhood dog pooping on your lawn, so you get a sign and stand on your lawn protesting the poop. Deal with the problem, not the symptom. Crappy lawmakers, and American public feeling they have the right to have their nose in other people's business are the problem. The only time you ever look in your neighbors bowl is to make sure he has enough, otherwise, mind your own fu**ing business!
The other side did this to someone who supports Dave Chapelle... Where's that post?
Yes how dare they be sad about dead babies and not hurt anyone just stand their with their sign
So many hypocrites In here wow! It's ok to silence speech and protests I don't agree with because I am morally right....blah blah but if it was turned around you would be screaming racism, bigotry, or oppression. You can't have it one way and than expect separate treatment. If we silenced people openly because others felt they were morally wrong than we wouldn't be were we are today. People thought suffrage, race integration, social services, and even freedom of education as being morally correct for the time. It's obvious to me people should be able to do whatever they want with their bodies but I should not have any right to silence those that disagree.
No. It LITERALLY isn't. Cool thing out there called education. Give it a try.
Load More Replies...Nah, I'd rather cause a distraction like this woman so a few women can actually enter the clinic without being verbally assaulted.
Load More Replies...A woman is pregnant with a nonviable baby. Carrying this baby will kill this woman. Denying her an abortion is murder. Change my mind
Load More Replies...Well, obviously a chaotic good one... That's way better than just being an asshole

Good Guy Tipper “Doesn’t” Tip *wink* *wink*
I used to be a carpet fitter and one day an old lady gave me a tip of a folded bunch of notes. When I got in the van instead of £1 notes she had given me ten £20 pound notes. This was in the mid eighties and was probably the equivalent today of about six hundred pounds. I went back to the house and her daughter had just turned up. When I told her she said it wasn't the first time it had happened and gave me one of the notes. I worried about it for quite some time after.

The world is full of very good people, and these are the ones we need to hear more about.
Example: The case of Hamburg-based politician Andy Grote, who was insulted on twitter as a "Pimmel" (lit. "d**k" although slightly different connotation... but fairly tame as insults go). Police went full force against the writer of that tweet - search warrant, phone confiscated, all that noise. Because someone called a politician a d**k on the internet. Made the news all over Germany and now there's a subtle war raging in Hamburg with people leaving stickers that quote the tweet all over the town. Put up a huge sign, even. Police keeps removing them or covering them up... but, unbelievably, they keep reappearing... ;)
Load More Replies...once, my friend (who lives in the south) f*cking scaled a building to steal and burn a confed*rate flag :D
your friend is amazing! Tell them thank you for their hard work!

That didnt happen for me, might be a problem on your end, I think it's been happening for other people too. .maybe you can contact the help line?
Load More Replies...Yes. just like those 'criminal' partisans and "terrorists" of WW2. Nothing but shameful lawbreakers. There is a huge difference betwixt law and justice.
