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.

Whataboutism isn't about double standards. Its purpose is to deflect attention away from something the speaker doesn't want to discuss or be discussed.

@DunningKruger It that case I’ve been accused of it by someone who doesn’t know what it means.

@Ceinwyn Whataboutism is pretty much always disingenuous, as well — the people who use it rarely if ever are making good-faith arguments.
