Fallacy of Relative Privation

What is it?

Dismissing a complaint or argument by pointing out that there are more important problems in the world.

Why is it bad?

Dismissing a valid complaint about the server or game by pointing out that there are much bigger issues, implying the smaller issue shouldn't be discussed.

Why are you complaining about UI bugs when the servers are literally crashing for half the playerbase? Get some perspective.
