The problem, of course, being that such powers have a very inherent tendency to get out of control and end up impacting the practitioners at least as much as anyone else. And worshiping chaos has drug-like aspects, in that those who come to love chaos tend to desire more and more of it. It's a power that's easy to partake of, and hard to let go of once grasped. But while a certain level of chaos is always needed to prevent the stagnation that comes from an excess of order, by the same token an excess of chaos easily becomes a wildfire that consumes all around it.
Chaos is a god who cares not for his followers; ultimately they're just more fuel to be burned. This is something I suspect many followers of "kek" don't understand.
