“What is this, Snow?”

“This,” I say.  “I want to be your boyfriend. Your terrible boyfriend." 

Started working on this last November. It was initially just the one moment with Baz showing off his fangs, however it… kind of spiralled into a three page comic. Anyway, this is another one of my favorite moments in @rainbowrowell’s Carry On novel. 

Thanks for your patience with this one, #snowbaz fans!!

I was reading in my psychology textbook about the devil’s advocate and it was very interesting.

See, research shows that groups of people actually make WORSE decisions than individuals, because psychologically we value group unanimity over critical thinking - we’ll agree to a nonideal plan even if we don’t agree with it for the sake of not being “that one person” who speaks out. So it’s recommended when making decisions in a group to assign a “devil’s advocate”, someone whose job it is to point out flaws in and disagree with any plan - because if even ONE person dissents, that tendency towards conformity goes WAY down, and other people are more likely to point out flaws as well and suggest alternate ideas. (Look up the Asch experiments! Very interesting study on our tendency towards conformity.)

So, the devil’s advocate is intended to discourage groupthink when making decisions.

IT’S NOT LITERALLY SUPPOSED TO BE ADVOCATING FOR THE DEVIL.

“Playing devil’s advocate” about the Holocaust isn’t playing devil’s advocate. It’s disrespecting the victims of a horrible tragedy by arguing over whether it was justified or really that tragic or even if it happened. That’s just not what the devil’s advocate is.

Important point about genuine devil’s advocacy in group decision-making – something that will be absolutely essential in a socialist world built on people power and economic democracy. A communal society must not lose sight of the individual or ideological dissent.

That being said, fascists and those who devil’s advocate for the Holocaust can go to the deepest corner of hell.

[saltedweather]

You really, really need a devil’s advocate in unions and other groups using consensus politics (if use consensus politics you MUsT), because otherwise you get a lot of performative over-agreement that  shouts down reasonable concern from folks with less background privilege. 

You don’t need one to talk about trauma, or tragedy, or marginalization. You just … don’t.
