I've seen in several threads people saying things like "I don't want to be seen as a white knight, but..."
So, I'm curious - why is it viewed as bad to be a white knight? Isn't it good to defend/support someone if you see them being picked on?
Perhaps I'm just not understanding! (Very possible!)

Maybe they really mean they don't want to come across as a suck up 
Chivalry can work real well, though it's down to the individual on whether it's seen as chivalry or misogyny |

"White knights are men that specifically stick up for women no matter what they’ve done in an attempt to get in their good books so they can potentially get sex
So yeah I’d say it’s a bad thing "
Oh, perhaps I've misunderstood the term then. Is that how everyone uses the term? |

I believe that's how it is understood. The problem being how to tell the difference between men who comment to win favour and those who comment because they think a post is wrong or offensive. Not always easy in an online context. |

Should probably clarify for some of the guys that missed a vital point
It’s not defending woman in the hope of getting something, that’s part of it.
It’s defending women blindly, whether they are in the wrong or not, that makes a white knight.
Perfect example is one we’ve all seen. In the lib and some girl throws her drink at a guy, starts hitting him, slapping him, calling him names. Everyone’s fine with that. He pushes her away and suddenly 3 guys jump on him with the “you can’t ever touch a lady” mentality
They’re white knights, because she was entirely in the wrong, but they jumped to her rescue anyways, and are probably hoping it’ll put them in her good books and she might take them home later that night. |

No, it’s a lazy comment to try a disparage men who sometimes stick up for women. It’s a comment used to try and gain an advantage over other men. |

I've had this live. Weird as I only wanted to dance after having a long giggly conversation earlier. Bloke went mental. In hindsight I wished I'd alerted the bouncers.
I prefer the term Silverback?

I don't think white knighting is specifically a male thing.
A man and a woman can post almost identical scenarios in which they've been treated badly by the opposite sex. The woman will get largely supportive responses from all genders telling her it's the man's fault
The man will get largely unsupportive responses telling him it's his fault. |

First time I have heard the term tbh, I thought you were talking chess to start with!. If someone hasn’t done anything wrong and is being victimised or mistreated, then we should all be helping out and sticking up for them. However, if someone has done something by wrong, then they should be shown the errors of the their ways, not stood up for. |

I personally don't mind it at all if someone stands up for me. I don't take it to mean I can't stand up for myself. I consider it more that they're standing next to me in support. |

No. White Knight most recently came to prominence during Gamergate (abuse campaigns carried out under the pretence of caring about journalism in video games). Anyone who disagreed with people hurling abuse, trolling etc. was called a white knight in order to derail opposition. i.e. accuse someone of having an ulterior motive rather than simply objecting to the abuse of someone else. |

But I don't mind that! I don't "need" defending, but it's lovely when someone steps up by my side and does it anyway.
I guess I'm just not offended by it! |

"White Knight" gets thrown around far too often.
Of course there are some men who will behave in that way, but some people cry "white knight!" whenever a man agrees with a woman, as if it's impossible for men to do that without having an ulterior motive. |

is that a white knight or just being decent??
i have always used white knighting in a different way to this as described above gallantly defending the honor of a women who is usually attractive - doesnt happen so much to people they dont fancy haha and most usually against any man that might have a different opinion to them by belittling or slating the male opinion

I wonder how often a man has got a BJ out of posting a supportive comment on Forum ? I'd guess......never, and it's also pretty insulting to women to suggest that's all it takes to have sex with them.
Now excuse me while I feed my nag and put my white robes on a hot wash. |

I think white knighting is thrown around probably a bit too oft - let's be honest, we've all seen a man come to a woman's defence in the hope it gets him noticed/he's putting his willy in her but it's like the be kind mantra. Overused and not very accurate.
I think it can be good to support those who you see being picked on but also... sometimes it can become unpleasant. And the bias because you like that person/want to biblically know them clouds sensibilities. |

In my experience, accusations of “white knighting” exclusively come from misogynists trying to derail the conversation when faced with male allies. It’s pretty pathetic really. Safe to block anyone who trots it out. |

The best example I've seen is when a man came to a womans defence in a forum argument.
The argument continued which by the way was with another woman and suddenly the same guy was defending the other woman.
As the thread continued he jumped back and forth between each woman until someone else realised that both women had very similar profile pics and asked him if he realised what he was doing?
He hadn't and admitted he was defending the woman with the great tits because she was hot but didn't realise there were two hot women with great tits arguing with each other. |

Just another silly phrase i’d never heard until fab. I don’t think it’s just men. Certain people agree/defend certain people all the time no matter the gender or whether they agree or not.
The phrase is thrown around willy nilly though. |

I often step in without much thought and defend when necessary. Sometimes I address it privately rather than publically.
‘She won’t shag you mate’ is a common (and boring) response to anyone who sticks their head above the parapet to defend a female online  |

This is my understanding of it too, unwanted help from a guy because the little lady needs a man to sort the situation mentality.. white knights are awful... but gentleman that will defend or support a woman in need are a totally different thing and very welcome. |

A white knight is a sycophant. Will challenge a reasonable point of view to be seen favourably by an OP who maybe was unreasonable in an argument.

It's supposedly a belittling phrase designed to ignore the point that someone is being a pillock in the first place and needed to be set straight.
Often used by those in the wrong with no rational counter point and unwilling/unable to change. Or wanting to provoke a response (Trolls).
Like most of these phrases used, boomers, gammons, snowflakes, lefty's etc. Just a throw away passive aggressive thing. |

This 
There should be no need for “white knights” but more and more people are finding/seeking out comments to create faux offence and aggro when it is usually an interesting or light hearted post. In one way it’s quite amusing, in another it’s quite sad. |

Ohhhhh. Well I’d thought it was being a fake rescuer …
A man wrote to us saying someone had stolen our pics and he was reporting it for us etc etc - I chatted to him a bit through it (through contacting fab etc … and because I’d blocked the account using them he was keeping me updated with yes yes they’ve been kicked off) … thennnnn when it was sorted (maybe, unless it was him that made the account in the first place?  ) he started with so ya fancy a fuck then
- I told a friend on here and she said a white night is someone who sets up a fake problem so he can “save” you from it
… hope that makes sense? x |

It's another phrase (see also Karen thread) that once had quite a specific meaning and is now used to shoot down many people. Especially a guy who disagrees with a guy but agrees with a gal. Just another as hom because some people want to win rather than understand. |

There's acting kindly and then there's brown nosing to try and get your dick wet. I've been brought up with morals and I'm extremely respectful towards women. However, I've also got a great bullshit detector and I'm pretty blunt when it comes to calling people out. The forums are horrendous for cliques/arse licking etc and it's sad to see how much fakery goes on. The problem is so many people are scared to call it as they don't want to feel ostracised. Personally I don't care as I've got a decent bunch of friends away from Fab so I ain't here to win a popularity contest.
But hey, that's just my opinion. |

I think the difference is when it’s clearly not genuine concern and just trying to get into someone’s pants.
I don’t know the term but they are often the same people where there’s a preference thread about females, they like everything

Personally I don't care as I've got a decent bunch of friends away from Fab so I ain't here to win a popularity contest.
But hey, that's just my opinion. "
how do you know people are scared of not coming forward? Hard thing to prove! It's interesting this thread started from someone observing guys are almost afraid to come forward and agree with someone! |

""White Knight" gets thrown around far too often.
Of course there are some men who will behave in that way, but some people cry "white knight!" whenever a man agrees with a woman, as if it's impossible for men to do that without having an ulterior motive.
Now we are calling men names when they are acting kindly towards women. What has the world come to. It’s crazy.
There's acting kindly and then there's brown nosing to try and get your dick wet. I've been brought up with morals and I'm extremely respectful towards women.

I've had a few people message me personally in the past saying they agree with something I've said but wouldn't dare say it themselves because they feel they may get shot down for it as it disagrees with some of the more popular/outspoken posters.

I don't want to be a white Knight but.... If there's so much misunderstanding, misuse, abuse, miscommunication with it... Maybe use other words.?or as it is used as an insult... Perhaps not say anything at all if you have nothing nice to say? |

"What many folk here are describing a white knight as is a “sycophant”. That’s not what the definition of a white knight is. "
Fair do's.... yeah I think you're right having re-read the definition of both. So what I said above is aimed at sycophants.
Obviously the term "White Knight" has been incorrectly re-purposed over the years. |

fair enough. Shot down feels different to ostracised. But imo thide are in a similar place to white knights if the fear is that it may stop them from getting their dick wet. It's just more covert. |
