Whatsboutism isn’t a thing. If you have glaring double standards, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be accountable.
Refusing to let others channel your thoughts on an issue to what they want without testing it is should be encouraged, not vilified.

"The Soviets were developing biological weapons during the Cold War! The Soviet Union was terrible!"
Whataboutism: "What about the biological weapons the US was developing?"
Pointing out double standards: "I agree, it was bad that the USSR developed bio-weapons. It's also worth noting that the US was developing bio-weapons too though. Do you also acknowledge that the US's bio-weapons program was terrible?"
Sometimes they can seem similar, but there is a legitimate difference.
