The point is that it doesn’t really matter what the other options are. You might get fed up trying to decide on somewhere so you just say “Let’s just get McDonald’s or WTV”. Say, for example, you were considering where to go to get some food. On the other hand, it can be used in a less dismissive if equally casual way to imply a list of potential things to without having to list more than one actual thing. “I don’t care that he broke up with me, WTV,” for example. The stereotypical way of using the word is in a kind of dismissive way, a way of showing that you don’t care about something or at the very least want to seem detached. “Whatever” can have many contexts and applications and there are many different situations in which you might use the word. Instead, WTV is an abbreviation of the word whatever, naturally, something very frequently used in texting. WTV doesn’t stand for anything in texting in the sense of being an initialism for a series of words.
