Another one is "cuck" or "beta male" or "autistic screeching". I hate all those terms as well.
But I don't know how else to describe what I'm talking about. And as much as I dislike a word, just because the connotation is negative it doesn't make the dennotation meaningless. Some people really are White Knights in how they behave, and some people really are snowflakes in the sense of being hypersensitive. I wouldn't use that word though. I'd rather not use "White Knight" either but I can't think of a more succinct word to describe what I'm talking about.
Well, when you use a term you have to accept the connotations that other people will attach. If you're happy dragging that luggage around, great. Me, I find the term to be one designed to belittle someone who disagrees, rather than answer them. And that immediately makes me wonder if the person using the term actually has an answer at all.
