So I realized I've accidentally been using the term 'white knight' a bit incorrectly, the correct definition is: a person who defends someone who is clearly wrong, usually with the hopes of gaining brownie points with the person they are defending. A couple of times when people have gone behind my back to attack others for not following my rules, I've said they were 'white knighting', but what I meant was more along the lines of mini-modding hahah
but here's a problem I've actually noticed, a lot of people are using the term white knight wrong?? Like it's turned into a quick thing someone can sling out at a person to invalidate the logic behind their argument. Example: Person A complains about a person's prices on the person's page. Person B replies to their comment explaining why the prices are high, explaining that comments like that can hurt a person's business or feelings, or some other reasoning. Instead of either accepting that what they did wasn't okay, or giving a logical counter-argument, person A calls person B a white knight to invalidate the logic behind their message.
That is actually a form of ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy.........

[FULL] Customs OPEN! Pokehybrids, sippers, fumis
Hello guys! It's that time again, I've got some commissions slots open: Slots are now filled! @HydrangeaZubat @NinjaKit404 @cerestialhaunt @catlin56 TH user rowangoat TH user Hackwolfin @CloverCoin I might accept more than this as well depending on demand! Turnout time for these is estimated to be somewhere between 3 weeks - 2 months. I'll mark this journal as closed when my queue is full, so if it's still listed as open, don't be afraid to comment/note me! (For customs, I may be available for one-offs or other designs as well, though we will need to discuss what you have in mind specifically to determine a price!) Payment Info (General) - Paypal USD only (invoicing highly preferred) please send in a single payment (payment plans not currently accepted). - I'm uncomfortable doing business with accounts that are empty and/or new (below 2 months of age), it sets off red flags for me as I've had bad business with such accounts in the past. If you can provide an older account

All 4 slots have been claimed and I'm closing for now, thank you guys! Turnout time for these is estimated to be somewhere between 3 weeks - 2 months. I'll mark this journal as closed when my queue is full, so if it's still listed as open, don't be afraid to comment/note me! (For customs, I may be available for one-offs or other designs as well, though we will need to discuss what you have in mind specifically to determine a price!) Payment Info (General) - Paypal USD only (invoicing highly preferred) please send in a single payment (payment plans not currently accepted). - I'm uncomfortable doing business with accounts that are empty and/or new (below 2 months of age), it sets off red flags for me as I've had bad business with such accounts in the past. If you can provide an older account used by you that isn't empty/new (you can provide it in private, if needed), I may reconsider not doing business with you. - I won't accept payment from a paypal account that you aren't legally

lmao I guess I have been misusing white knighting too. I use it as a form of "the ass lickers defending/attacking people unnecessarily for saying something that goes against their idol (which is generally an ass tbh)". Like I feel mini-modding can cross into white knight territory if/when the minimodder is being grossly aggressive with the hope to score brownie points with the idol/person they are harassing others over.
