A fictional word, not found in any dictionary that was created sometime in the 2010s as a transparent attempt to ignore, excuse, and deflect blatant hypocrisy and valid criticism.
There was no magic word in the English language that supported such a cause( and rightly so)Because hypocrisy should be brought to attention and abolished instead of making double standards for different groups of people.
Thus Whataboutism was created so political parties could endeavor to attack their political rivals, when they themselves have done things way worse while absolving themselves of their treachery.

Sane Person: "why are you upset about Jan 6 when Trump supporters walked into a building, and then left, but BLM did 2 billion dollars of damages and Kamala Harris funded domestic terrorism by Bailing out rioters?"
Liberal: "That's whataboutism.
SP:" You made up a word because there was no word in the English language to deflect blatant hypocrisy, considering hypocrisy should be denounced!
Trump supporters did not burn any cars, police stations like BLM and Antifa, so it is not a peaceful protest!"
L: "Violence is acceptable if it comes from the left, but if conservatives simply walk into a building, we detain them indefinitely so we can clutch our pearls in a fit of fake outrage here in Clown World."
Son :
When George Floyd was killed why was there such outrage even though he was an actual piece of shit.
He was arrested like 50 times and Pointed a gun at a pregnant black women's abdomen while his homies ransacked her house during a home invasion?
But when Ashli Babbitt was protesting in a public office against election fraud, she was gunned down and the media called her a terrorist even though she was unarmed, had no criminal record and was an actual war hero?"
Dad: "That's whataboutism
Liberals are susceptible to brainwashing and propaganda and the indisputable proof is the fact that they elected a geriatric dementia patient into The White House due to their Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The Left can commit acts of violence due to mind control and indoctrination!"

Man 1: January 6th is absolutely the worst event to occur in US history. It dwarfs 9/11, Hiroshima and anyone who disagrees with me is a terrorist.
Man 2: If you feel this strong about January 6th, why weren't you complaining about the Blacklivesmatter riots last summer, which resulted in more death, more damage and the spread of COVID?
Man 1: Whataboutism.
Man 2: No, you're just a bad faith actor.
