    Whataboutism or whataboutery (as in “what about …?”) is a pejorative for the strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of a defense against the original accusation.

      Surely you can see how that’s a different thing when you engage in the exact type of behaviors you’re accusing others of. Surely.

        I’m defending my argument that the first comment was indeed whataboutism. Are you confused?
