White Knight

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!

White Knight

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. **
Amanda: I'm so upset Jeremiah cheated on me...

Paul: Oh, Jeremiah? Yeah, he's a total asshole. I know you'll find someone better soon though.

Derek: - Whispering to Paul - Paul, quit your white knighting, we both know you're trying to get laid.

Paul: No, you don't understand. I'm concerned for Amanda.

Derek: Riiiight, why would you suddenly give a damn about Amanda now? You two don't even hang out, and have you even MET Jeremiah?

Paul: - Is lying - Yes, I did meet Jeremiah. He's a shrimpy dude who acts like a tough guy, you can tell with one glance that he's a wifebeater.

Derek: Jeremiah's fuckin' 6'4 dude... what the hell you mean "He's a shrimpy dude"?

- Paul is rendered speechless and exposed for the white knight he is. -

White Knight

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.
"Why is he going out with her? She's broken, and a little crazy."

"The fool's just being a White Knight."

White Knight

A White Knight is a type of male that will do anything for a female. This includes many things such as; ignoring your friends to talk to girls, breaking the bros before hoes code, hanging out with girls more than your bros, defending all females for no apparent or clear reason and lying to your friends and family to be with females.

White Knighting

White Knighting typically occurs when their are two men and one girl. White Knighting is easy to spot and very annoying when you are trying to get laid with a crappy wingman.

White Knighting is when one man is trying to get a girl into his bed while in the same area as his friend, his friend (if he is a White Knight) will typically attempt to disperse the conversation by presenting his chivalrous words such as: "Have some respect for women, Johnny" or "Miss, he's just trying to get laid" while simultaneously attempting to get laid himself by showing respect to the women. A White Knight will never act chivalrous when he is not around another guy.
Jim: Hey babe, you wanna go back to my place? I'll make you some food.
Lancelot: Jim, your just trying to sleep with her, I see this every time we go out
Girl: Excuse me? I'm not a slut. (leaves)
Jim: What the hell Lancelot, quit your White Knighting, I was about to get laid.
Lancelot: Dude I know! We should totally go out again tomorrow! I'm about to get that girls number, she's totally into me.
