Hmmm~ I never heard of that about the term 'White Knight', for me a 'White Knight' was always a virtous knight who protects people from harm, and that makes as much sense as 'The Meat Shield' if not even a bit more (it also sounds nicer if you ask me). And yeah while it's true that it's in the JP client called 'Knight', but a paladin is just a higher form of a knight if I remember correctly, so it would still be correct, but yeah it seems like a region-like thing with your explanation.

Well I also like most of the english titles more then the japanese ones except those two, that's why I asked for the reason in the first place and for a change in the second place since it won't happen anyway unless enough people support this, which seems somewhat unlikely with your explanation. Thanks though for telling me that I really didn't know about that connotation.
