Whataboutism I will consider a logical fallacy when good and evil can be measured and distinguished in a vacuum or based on a universal empirical calculation. Until then I consider it nonsense invoked by idiots who want to cancel arguments without arguments. Good and evil refer to a "difference in potential" between two things, actions, etc. in certain specific contexts. And this is a small hypothesis created by me in the past.

"Whataboutism" is not a real logical fallacy and doesn't appear in any classical fallacy terms invented by ancient Greeks.

The term was invented by the US admin during the Cold War to deflect counter-arguments from the USSR

You are a son of a bitch with no arguments. Shut up.

I also think it was invented so that some people wouldn't have to bring arguments and justify whether their position is valid.

For leftists, anything that is not on their side will be called a logical fallacy.

“Whataboutism” just means that America, a country that doesn’t care at all about human rights or international law, is still allowed to attack China and Russia’s history human rights records.

Usually, whataboutism is not intentional as a "trick".
Also, context can be relevant. Ppl just sometimes derail the conversation by bringing up other shit.
Often, political viewpoints just depends on the perception of the world in general.
