Chaotic Neutral?

What is Chaotic Neutral? It's one of he hardest alignments to define, as far as I have seen. CAN you define it with hard lines?

Would letting a coin toss (chance/chaos) decide your actions count as chaotic neutral? Is chaotic neutral just being an asshole for shits and giggles? Where's the line between that and chaotic evil or chaotic good?

Image is just what came up on Google, I wasn't looking for anything too specific.

You are looking out for you and fuck laws and society.

You are both okay with helping yourself and others, but are adamant on keeping your freedom and freedom of others

I wouldn't say freedom of others as much.

Like you won't go out of your way to fuck them over, but push comes to shove you lookin out for you.

But you are not stupid if push comes to shove and someone wants to lock you all down.

It's the cop out for people who can't roleplay a character consistently.

Alternatively, it's someone who doesn't restrict themselves by any code, higher power, or authority, who is typically self serving and isn't above being malicious, although they typically aren't.

Chaotic Neutral is pretty much "I don't really give a fuck about anything besides people close to me and doing what I want." They don't actively seek to hurt people, but they won't go out of their way to help, either.

A CN character might want to destroy all forms of government and think everyone should govern themselves as individuals, or they might just simply not give a fuck about what governments say and follow whatever moral or ethical code they've settled on for themselves.

The main problem is that people think CN is the "LOLSORANDUMB RETAAAAARD" alignment.

That would be insanity, and possibly not even chaotic neutral. If it's by coin-flip then there's only two options, which isn't enough to encompass all of reality for most options. So you have to device what subset of reality to narrow things down to. How you divide them can make you good, neutral, or evil depending on what you choose.

I don't really get how cn is doesn't follow a personal code while true neutral is basically that as well
