I brought receipts. Put up or shut up.

Receipts of what? You literally just quoted their about page. What does that have to do with OTW’s statement on continuing to work on hiring a consultant? Are you just completely unaware of it?

That’s not what “receipts” means.

DA

In fandom, "receipts" can be used as a synonym for "proof." Kindly refrain from correcting people about things you don't know.

I know what it means, I’m saying you’re misusing the term, because you provided no proof. You just skimmed some sentences off of their about section. This isn’t providing screenshots of DMs that expose someone of wrongdoing, that’s the kind of thing that “providing the receipts” means. Not finding some easily available information that the group you’re against wants people to see. You can point out hypocrisy or double standards using information they give out and the things they say vs. the actions they take. But that’s not inherently having “receipts”. A much closer example to the definition is the anons upthread providing multiple links. You’ve done no such thing, just clipped some sentences from the about/FAQ section. Kindly refrain from assuming people don’t know things, and being patronizing, when you’re not using a phrase correctly. I was correcting you just like the anon above me did about receipts, and you just foolishly jumped to the conclusion that I didn’t know what it meant without any real reason to believe that.

Also, “receipts” to mean proof isn’t a “fandom” thing just because it’s used in fandom. It started in the mainstream over 10 years ago, and stemmed from an interview with Whitney Houston in 2002. Acting like it’s a fandom thing is much more “correcting people about things you don't know”, then me telling you that you aren’t using it correctly, which is true.

>you provided no proof

First of all, I'm not the person you(?) were arguing with above.

I commented because they made the point that the EOTWR campaign is lobbying for broad authority to get rid of fanfics they don't like, and backed it up with information that a lot of people have probably not gone and read. It's not a receipt because they had to break into someone's office to get it, but because instead of just expecting everyone to take their word for it, they quoted from the stated goals of the group and tailored their objections to that.

The definition of "receipts" you're putting forward seems questionably narrow.

>It started in the mainstream over 10 years ago [...]

Reciepts to mean proof certainly is a fandom thing. Whether it came from somewhere else, previously, makes little difference to this conversation.
