It’s when someone pesters you with questions and demands for evidence for either very basic concepts (”Please prove sexism exists”) or things they could easily google and find the proof on their own (”Please prove sexism exists”).
It’s a dishonest argument tactic designed to waste someone’s time and stroke a confirmation bias. Conservatives believe that if some rando can’t pull out literally every study on command, then that means the thing they already didn’t believe must be false.
