Whataboutism

Why would anyone use this word? It's stating your willing ignorance of a topic because you wish to ignore anything similar.

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.
