White Knighting, when used by gamers, refers to players that show up to avenge wrong-doing, often without knowing anything about the situation and/or without investigating the context.
One player accidentally killed another when they jumped in front of them when they were fully aimed. The player in question was immediately white knighted. It only took seconds before the entire team were white knighting and we lost because everyone was too busy fighting each other to fight the enemy.
