Whyaboutism (also known as whyaboutery) is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy and logical facts without directly refuting or disproving their argument. Whyaboutism is like whataboutism but it criticises the opponent using questions to do with the word 'why' instead of 'what'.
Mom : I am going to divorce with you
Dad : Why would you do that crazy bitch
Mom : Because you cant clean your shaft yourself
Dad : Well neither can you so WHY would I?
Mom : Ugh i really dont like to do this
Dad : GO DOWN ON YOUR KNEES CRAZY BITCH
Mom : i really hate your WHYABOUTISM way of getting around everything *goes down*
