FULL COMMUNISM NOW

Artificial Idiocy posted:

I would argue that providing support and space for marginalised groups often requires extra-legal methods to get there (as the entrenched majorities often create oppressive structures which cannot be altered without such means), but the ultimate aim is to influence legislation such that society adopts and embraces a pluralistic, tolerant, and egalitarian stance with minimal intrusion in personal beliefs and affiliations - no more than is necessary for the maintenance of basic social order - at a constitutional and judicial level.

Therefore, I must believe that Sanctuary Cities are inherently True Neutral, in that they recognise the realpolitik necessity of illegal methods to attain the desired cultural outcomes, but ultimately idealise integrating these desired outcomes into a legal framework to create a truly egalitarian society.

wouldn't that make them neutral good? the D&D alignment matrix pretty explicitly does not equate legality with goodness

Do you guys often find that Sanctuary Cities demand a certain level of conformity from those they give shelter? Does a Sanctuary City require that it's inhabitants give up a certain amount of what makes they and their cultures unique in order to function in the new society? Is this censorship enforced through implied violence?

To a certain degree, certainly. And that's fine. Not murdering a Drow for worshiping their evil spider goddess is one thing, but that doesn't mean you're gonna let demon gangs run through the streets murdering everyone just because that's the culture in the Abyss.
