Alignment is for Outsiders in my group.
Yes, that demon is literally a concept of Evil given physical form. No, that orc is not, stop being racist.
“Is it sexy?”

I think a way to encourage a cultural swing in a group is to have sensual, sexy good aligned characters. Maybe even sensual sexy clerics or even paladins.

If the sexy “good” characters were powerful enough, they could discourage Gambobrained shit. They could even go full priestess of Ishtar and offer sensual (fade to black of course) favors for heroic deeds… or in a less “lol prostitution” way if the group is more (actual) mature, they may find heroism worthy of flirting… even dating opportunity.

Oh, absolutely. Though depending on how weebish or otherwise far gone they are, they may need some training wheels so they don’t get really mad.
Yeah that’s the only real reason to use it imho

I remember playing DnD with my bf’s parents and family friend, all old school players, and they were all baffled that I wanted to play as a kindly full orc druid. The dm was so unprepared for me to try and talk to the bugbears we encountered that they genuinely didn’t have any story planned for them.

To his credit he did improv stuff, I even ended getting the bugbears to team up with our party, he just admitted that he really hadn’t planned for any of us to do anything like that.

Even then, in my worlds I still occasionally like to include the edge cases of outsiders rejecting the evil of their archfiends (or overlords, what have you) and, if not redeeming themselves, sometimes being a little bit more chill (sometimes still morally dubious but in a more fun way).
I think my tendency towards a historical materialist lens has really affected my worldbuilding lol. I always like to logic out how outsider societies would work in my settings given such concepts as soul-corruption, damnation, souls as currency, immortality, and on and on. I find it much more interesting that way.
Yeah a fiend society and most fiends are “evil” in a similar way to any of the truly evil empires in our world and their supporting people are - with the added fun factors that a large percent of the population may literally be harvesting damned souls, or be born from the greed/hate/lust/jealousy of former mortal souls. I like a demon not having to be 110% inevitably bound by their origin
