a type of cockblocker
(noun, verb: White Knight. adjective: White Knightey.)
a male acquaintance of a woman who, usually motivated by jealousy, attempts to cockblock the woman by defending her (implicitly, her chastity) from another man.
Though the White Knight typically attempts to persuade the other man that the woman is "not interested," the White Knight usually is motivated to act in the first place only because he senses that the woman is attracted to the other man.
Amongst cockblockers, the White Knight is a relatively impotent type, because (i) the woman usually knows intuitively that the White Knight wants her and is motivated by his jealously, and (ii) White Knights almost always have low to moderate social skills/influence (which is why they are White Knights, because they do not get laid themselves), so the woman also knows that the White Knight's irritation is not likely to have negative social consequences for her. However, the White Knight's attempts are sometimes successful, often only because he unwittingly embodies the woman's fear of Slut Shaming (being judged), a very potent cockblocking force.
Typically, a man who behaves as a White Knight is in a pathetic state of mind. He feels for some reason that he cannot get laid, so reduces himself to trolling other men, especially men who happen to be hitting it off with women whom the White Knight has a history of fantasizing for.

Brian became a shining White Knight as soon as that guy from the rock band came over - he guarded Emily for more than an hour until she left.

Got some girls being butt-hurt? Got some white teenaged males with nothing to do?
Introducing white knighting! A perfectly respectable act of suddenly becoming chivalric and nice by the mere presence of e-boob.

A simp whose main trait is showing respect or defending women, no matter what the situation is. The main objective is to impress the women and possibly, get pussy, at the end of the day.
They will call you a misogynist and a degenerate when they think the situation is getting out of their hands, and the person they are arguing with starts being rational.

Man I am not against women equality, but JJ is being a total White Knight without even knowing about the situation. Pretty schewpid ain't it?

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.

Anon: Let's have fun teasing this hambeast on livestream!
Anons: Yeah! Let's do it!
White Knight: Halt! In the name of chivalry, you foul heathen misogunists will burn as I save the maiden with kindness and give her solace with compliments!
Anons: Eat a dick WK, stop killing our buzz.
Anon: *reading rules* No swear? Fuck that shit!
White Knight: You there! You have broken a rule! I shall report you to the nearest moderator for correction!
Anon: Eat a dick WK, you can't tell me what to do because you're not a moderator.
White Knight: Just because I don't have a tag in front of my name doesn't mean I can't uphold the law! I AM THE LAW!
Anons: Yeah! Let's do it!
