Mike Wyant Jr. Whataboutism is the practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question with a counter-accusation or by raising a different issue entirely. This rhetorical tactic is used to avoid accountability, deflect criticism, and discredit an opponent.

[redacted] I'm not whatabouting.
I'm taking your specific examples and fact-checking them to destroy the foundation of your argument.

Whataboutism is like realizing you're losing a debate and don't have any other facts to use so you decide that my tone has changed so "whatabout decorum?"
