whataboutism

A term used to dismiss valid criticism of the user's own hypocrisy.

Not to be confused with saying literally "what about-", which is a similar act of comparing someone's behavior with their own past actions.

"You're a terrible parent because you won't let your kids watch tv!"
"Didn't one of your kids die because of neglect?"
"That's whataboutism!"

Whataboner

When you got like a hard-on for a Whataburger. Like just absolutely lusting for it. To the point where you have a mighty need for some Whataburger.

Dude, you cannot be giving me a Whataboner while we're drinking, I can't drive.

Whataboutism Fallacy Fallacy

The mistake of dismissing a valid accusation of hypocrisy or inconsistency as mere Whataboutism. While true Whataboutism deflects from a topic by raising an irrelevant counter-accusation, this fallacy fallacy occurs when the counter-accusation is directly relevant to exposing double standards or bad faith in the original argument. Crying "Whataboutism!" in such cases is a cheap way to avoid addressing the substantive point about equitable principle.

Whataboutism Fallacy Fallacy Example: Nation A condemns Nation B for electoral interference. Nation B replies, "You have funded coups in ten countries this decade." If Nation A's media declares this "classic Whataboutism," they commit the Whataboutism Fallacy Fallacy. The reply is not a deflection; it's a crucial challenge to Nation A's moral authority and the consistency of the applied principle.
