    whataboitism is when you refer to a completely unrelated issue.
    Example:
    “Why did you hit him?”
    “Well, Johnny over there hit his brother two years ago!” - unrelated, whataboitism.
    “He stabbed me, stole my wallet, and tried to run away” - a normal explanation, even though it is too refers to an action of a different person.
    With this easy guide you too will be able to understand complex topics in no time

      “Why did you hit him? I caught you red handed!”

      “I didn’t hit him.”

      “Your phone literally says ‘2:00: hit Bob in the face.’”

      “Alright, alright, let’s just pretend I hit him. But that doesn’t justify what his cousin said about me last week!”

      There was an attack on civilians, it targeted children, it killed children, the people who did it are pretending they didn’t, the user here is also pretending the attrocities didn’t happen, and even they it did, “he started it so nyah.”

      Aside from all of the things that detracts from the conversation, is there something it adds?
