White knighting is jumping to the defense of someone (it used to be of a female) with no reason or request and taking an unreasonably paragon-like view of the subject while lambasting any who would propose any negative quality of said target.
what does any of what you've quoted me saying apply to white knighting?
I was referring to the thread, not the forum.
"Properly used". Very situational term. Properly in your eyes? You who personally have no stake except the characters you play and the time you spend. Properly in the company's eyes is something entirely different. Morally? Obligatorily? I'm pretty sure as we owe them nothing, they owe you nothing.
Unacceptable. To you. Great. I won't/can't stop you from complaining. But I'm sure as shaving cream going to state what I think as well.
White knighting is a go to insult for anyone who dares to say anything positive, suggest reasonable responses or advise non-aggression against the hated "company" .
SE is a company and I owe them no loyalty. When their game ceases to amuse me I will leave with no fanfare or declaration. If it improves later I may return. Or it may just die. Bummer, there will be many other games and they will likely be leagues ahead in terms of convenience and features. Dismissing opposing criticisms as "white knighting" all the time is your loss.
You asked for examples. I gave them. I wasn't naming names to begin with.
I never said the devs were infallible. Now you're just starting arguments. I told you I wasn't going to argue against replying to dev comments with other requests and have stopped. I'm not going to argue personal stances with you.
have fun being you.
