Seems to be a case of whataboutism. Just because someone is doing it doesn't make it any less wrong.
Do you understand how that doesn't make it okay?
As if that's relevant or excuses this behavior.
you seem to be taking as a given that those are acceptable things to do.
others doing it doesn't justify their doing it.
You might not like it, but that doesn't make it wrong.
Other people doing it doesn't make it okay.
Sorry, what might not be the right thing to do?
Maybe because it's the wrong thing to do regardless of who's doing it?
yea i agree with you, its a crappy thing to do, I'm not justifying it, just saying what their thought process is.
