Whataboutism is a form of informal fallacy.

    Whataboutism means nothing at this point. Risk analysis? Whataboutism. Considering consequences? Whataboutism.

    "Informal" means it's not actually a fallacy. Prooooobably because people use it way outside of its definition to dismiss arguments they don't like because they have not thought through whatever they are arguing about.
