I'm not following your use of the word. I think we may have different ideas about what it means.
From Wikipedia:
> Whataboutism, also known as whataboutery, is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument.[1][2][3]
Where did tyingq say someone else was a hypocrite? They didn't.
