The whole point is that "posts about those topics" never get the same type of traction as these posts do.
In any case, hijacking a discussion about this particular war and humanitarian crisis to talk about something else, just to get more traction, seems like an unfortunate and cynical ploy
It's basically like Kanye coming into the thread and being like, "yo, victims of Russia's conquest of Ukraine, I'm'a let you finish, but these other victims are the best victims of ALL TIME"
OP clearly states that they think showing support for Ukraine is a good thing. Typically we consider whataboutism to be bad because it’s purpose as a rhetorical device is to deflect away criticism, but that isn’t what OP is doing.
As such it is quite relevant and germane to this discussion. The way the western press is treating this conflict stands in stark contrast to others that do not take place in Europe.
I'm sure you didn't mean to, and are a wonderful person, but the whataboutism detracts from the more important message about _this specific war_, and serves to deflect the criticism about the specific topic in this post.
