For a D&D "alignment chart", set x axis to [illegal -- legal] and y axis to [evil -- good]. Then start typing in words. Some surprises there! https://lamyiowce.github.io/word2viz/

Preliminary findings!

The most illegal thing is "heroin"

The most legal thing is "CEO"

The most good thing is "teacher"

The most evil thing is "lucifer"

Murder is more legal than money

Priests are about as legal and rich as criminals, same for nuns wrt. janitors

'Sad' is rich and legal, 'happy' is poor and illegal. Same delta with 'power' and 'money'.

Also interesting to use "peasant" -> "ruler" as the Y axis, while leaving the X axis as "she" -> "he". It shows a possible gender bias in language, with all of the male words being higher on the peasant-ruler scale than female words.

I found this interesting: https://i.imgur.com/FrqmGMz.png

Apparently being a secretary is more moral than being a priest.

And of course you can actually add in the classes: http://imgur.com/3FzX81i

I wanted to add feature of sharing plots via URL query strings, but I need to find some time for that.

Interesting (and somewhat disturbing) when combined with the Gods examples.

Also, note the values on the x axis; only "spirit", "true" and "faith" are more good than evil within this dataset, and only slightly so. "Allah" is associated with being illegal?

Apparently the '80s are Chaotic Good

Sentimential is Lawful Good

A Kitsch is Lawful Evil, and

Evokes/Evoking is Chaotic Evil

now I'm the king of the political axis memes http://i.imgur.com/Zh30Lhl.png
