White Knighting refers to the misguided online defense of
attention whores, "DeviantART Artists", or
douchebags, all under the pretense of supposed compassion for some sort of benefit. Generally, this action occurs on websites like
DeviantArt,
Stickam,
YouTube, and other places which foster self-proclaimed
Internet Celebrities, who are protected by people that seek some sort of benefit in return- be it secondhand popularity, sex, or just
attention. This invariably results in making the defended look even stupider, making the defender look pitiful, and making the entire situation one big clusterfuck of
fail/
lulz. Recently there seem to be some faggots who white knight for the sake of it. Complete opposite of
troll. However no one knows who the fuck they are because the first three google results of "Nobody" returned nothing interesting.
