        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 4chans 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 populations 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.

                  A [white knight] is a man who will [go to great lengths] to defend women, whether they are attacked physically, verbally, or sexually. In fact, it does not matter if the woman is attacked at all. They will ditch their own best friends, hit people, or say things they never would elsewhere, just to protect that woman. White knights come in all shapes and sizes.
                  White knights are generally men with seriously low self esteem issues. They are also [sexually depraved], and have never had a girlfriend or any female attention for that matter. They use their white knightry as a last ditch attempt to get laid and/or prove their worth to society. Usually socially awkward people who tend to live in fantasy worlds, and will brag about their heroic deeds and manliness in every conversation with people. Tend to identify as women supporters or feminists, but could not be further from the truth as all they do is reinforce the idea that women are weak.
                  Hated by true feminists and mens rights activists (MRAs) alike.

                      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 Knights] irritation is not likely to have negative social consequences for her. However, the White Knights attempts are sometimes successful, often only because he unwittingly embodies the womans 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.
