I took Deej's advice, and now my mute list has been expanded by 65 users. Wow. Also, just throwing this out there: there's no shame in "white knighting" a.k.a: being a decent human being. You can stop pointing it out now.

  • I wouldn't call white knighting being a decent human being, more like a hypocritical token display of kindness.

    Depends on the motives. If someone is doing it just for the sake of decency, I see no problem with that. Although I do find it cringe worthy if they're doing it just to kiss up to or look good for the person they're defending. I'd just like to make that distinction.

  • I was under the impression that "white knighting", by definition, is being sycophantic and obsequious towards someone. That's why the term exists. It's not "also known as" being a decent human being. Being a decent human being is also known as being a decent human being. There doesn't need to be another term for it. The term "white knight" exists solely to denigrate those who are excessively servile to another person. Being a kiss-ass. At least, that's what I thought.

    I've never come across that distinction. I was moreso intending to call out the people who equal defending a female for the sake of it with trying to get into her good books.

  • You mean people who call not white knighting white knighting to make people who defend women seem like they're only doing it because they're losers Yeah that sucks too, and it's every bit as backhanded as calling women out just for being women in the first place.

  • I only defend women in a case if I can imagine helping her being a guy and thinking "Would I help him?". Unless its completely a girl-specific issue. In which case, I leave it up to my morals and such.

  • There's only two people I muted because of this thread, mainly because they kept replying to everything I posted, saying the same crap I already addressed.

    To be fair I don't think Felicia is the type of person to mute someone for having different opinions.
