    You do have to admit that the reason the term white knight gets throw around so much is exactly because there are a lot of people willing to ignore issues in the game and decry anyone who dares to bring up issues with said game. The amount of Stockholm syndrome in the modern MMO is disconcerting to say the least, though FOMO games are a prime target for this particular issue. You want the term to go away? Teach people to think critically. Good luck with that one, lol.

    Cool reasoning m8. I can use your quote in it's entirety as a point why the term white knight has been abused to the point it's like calling someone you disagree with a racist, lmao.

    Here,

    You do have to admit that the reason the term white knight gets throw around so much is exactly because there are a lot of people willing to ignore issues in the game and decry anyone who dares to bring up issues with said game. The amount of Stockholm syndrome in the modern MMO is disconcerting to say the least, though FOMO games are a prime target for this particular issue. You want the term to go away? Teach people to think critically. Good luck with that one, lol.
    (summarizing) "white knight gets used because people ignore the issues, and don't critically think about the game" (so, white knights get called white knights because they're white knights)

    her:

    I feel like the "white knight" label gets thrown as soon as anyone says they like any part of the game. In a discussion on the story I might get labelled a white knight, but here I am quite frustrated with other aspects of the game. People have to be able to give positive feedback as well as negative.
    (again summarizing) "the term white knight is thrown around even when people disagree with certain aspects of the game, but love other parts of it. That doesn't make someone a 'white knight'"

    She tried to have some nuance, and you went straight to "well, have some critical thinking then". You proved her point.

    Is that better?
