Autistic Self Advocacy Network

An autism organization that promotes respect and acceptance toward autistic individuals. In contrast to many other autism organizations, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) motivates autistic people to freely express themselves in their own unique ways instead of forcing them to conform with the rest of society. This is the website to go to if you want to support the autistic community in ways that are actually meaningful.

I go to the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) to help out the autistic community. They actually care about autistic people and view autism as a unique condition instead of a disease.

Asshole's Advocate

When somebody questions another and takes the opposite viewpoint on a particular subject in a way to provoke thinking, they play devils advocate. Asshole's advocate does the same, but makes himself look like a total fucking asshole.

Devils Advocate:
Jim: The government should really crack down on gun owners. With stricter laws, people would be safer from criminals.

Bob: Then what happens if the government takes away guns, and a criminal comes in with a weapon off the black market. What do you do? I'm just playing devil's advocate.

Asshole's Advocate:
Bill: I think I'll leave college a couple years early. I would be happier pursing my passion for art than I would getting my law degree.

Steve: Then what will you do when somebody says to your face that you're a fucking failure and an art bitch who flunked out of school? Then your shitty art goes nowhere and you can't get a job because you're fucking stupid. I'm just playing devil's advocate.

Bill: You're playing asshole's advocate you judgmental piece of crap.

Advocate

One who speaks on behalf of another.
Offer support or to take ones place.

"I have come to offer my support on behalf of the king"

"Why have you come?" - "I have come to reason with you on the whole civil rights scenario"

"You are just an messengerboy, an advocate, i refuse to listen till he gains the guts to speak to me himself!

Devils advocate: people pee in the pool, do you really want to go?

she-devil’s advocate

When you step up to insert feminist principles into a conversation that needs it, even though it might not be readily received.

I’m just playing she-devil’s advocate here, but maybe it’s not fair for you to assume that all the women in this office want you to make passes at them.

Beer Advocate

Nazi Germany for the Craft Beer community... be careful what you say there... their mods will edit it to make you look like a jerk if they don’t agree with it.

I once posted a 2020 Forum on Beer Advocate at 11:59pm on Dec 31, 2019, and they deleted it because “it’s not 2020 yet...” I complain and they edit my complaint and ban me... seriously the Nazis of Craft Beer!
