Get the White Knight mug.White Knight.
A person, generally a man, who is seen giving all their attention to one or many particular females online.
The most common places that White Knights dwell is on 4chan's random board and various online games towards the RPG persuasion. However, White Knights are found everywhere in the online world.
This self motivated acts of chivalry is not geared toward just saving the hambeast maidens, but also White Knights have been noted to follow the rules adamantly in hopes of either becoming a moderator/admin or just flat out want to spoil the general online population's fun of bending the rules.
White Knights are not fun, but instead stuffy, boring, and an unusual hatred towards their fellow man for being selfish, crude and misogynists, in other words: All the fun things in life.

Anons: Eat a dick WK, stop killing our buzz.
Anon: *reading rules* No swear? Fuck that shit!

Anon: Eat a dick WK, you can't tell me what to do because you're not a moderator.

Get the White Knight mug.White Knight is a noun, synonymous with cuck and beta male.
White Knights are a common breed of basement dwellers that desperately attempt to woo and appease any girl they encounter, typically to signal virtue and resemble a knight in shining armor. These people are generally lonesome and sexually depraved, so much so that they're willing to contort their personality and say things that they internally cringe at. They will not contradict one thing a girl says, and endlessly agree with her like a shallow yesman. If a lot of attention is
** Not every male who compliments a girl is a white knight, although unwarranted compliments are a major symptom of white knightery. **

Get the White Knight mug.A person (usually a male) who sees the typical maiden in distress, and believes that he can help her. A male version of the "mother figure" that some girls become.
White knight term can also be applied to a person participating in online forum who is not tasked with moderating it, but engages in the activity nonetheless - so-called backseat modding. The underlying causes for the behaviour are the same - person is anthropomorphising the forum and sees it as a "maiden in distress" and charges to the rescue.

Get the White Knight mug.A beta male who goes out of his way to defend all women (commonly when she is insulted by someone online). They are desperate to get laid and defend women in hopes of the woman having pity of him and offering the white knight sex as a reward.
