Exactly! Whataboutism or even the fallacy of relative privation seems to be just everywhere these days. I don't understand the appeal of it. Someone is trying to do something good, is it really neccessary to shoot it down just because there are OTHER bad things that need attention? Such a strange way of moving the spotlight to themselves, in pretending to shine a light on bigger problems.
