Honest question - what is the whataboutism here?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

That pronouns isn't a legitimate problem to have, because "what about" more severe problems in life. That Green is implying to trade with the non-issue (or lesser issue) of pronouns.

Not OP, but couldn't "what about other, bigger problems?" be construed as whataboutism?

Although personally I'd put it closer to ridicule, which I also believe is John Greene's intent (judging from how he talks about the issue in other social media).
