Whataboutism also has its own wikipedia page where it doesn't make such a distinction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

  >Accusing an interlocutor of whataboutism can also in itself be manipulative and serve the motive of discrediting, as critical talking points can be used selectively and purposefully even as the starting point of the conversation (cf. agenda setting, framing, framing effect, priming, cherry picking). The deviation from them can then be branded as whataboutism. ^^ pay special attention to this bit, it refers directly to us.
