No its not. This is pointing out hypocrisy.


> No its not. This is pointing out hypocrisy

I think it's worth reading the page - the definition is:

> Whataboutism ... is a ... logical fallacy, which attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving the argument

You've charged hypocrisy, I don't see a direct refutation of the argument. Given that, it seems like this situation exactly fits the definition of 'whataboutism'?
