Should trope Pantheons really use alignments at all? I mean it would make sense with character that are hypothetically canonically Chaotic Good or whatever, but for the rest, isn't that begging for an alignment debate?

The whole thing is Just for Fun anyway, so why do we even care?

I am not against the concept of alignment, though I am sceptical of its usage outside a Dn D context. Should I chill?

You are correctly skeptical. However, as I said, since this is a Just for Fun section of the wiki, the rules are relaxed a bit. That doesn't mean people should edit war over 'em though.

I think this is a Grandfather Clause thing; "pantheon" guidebooks like Deities and Demigods often list alignments for deities.
