+ | '''White Hat''' is a [[stick figure]] character in [[xkcd]]. He is distinguished by his eponymous white hat which appears to be in the shape and style of a {{w|boater}}. His appearance is identical to that of [[Black Hat]] other than the color of their respective hats. (Interestingly, the two characters have been depicted together only at [[1110: Click and Drag]], [[1000: 1000 Comics]], and [[1708: Dehydration]], still without a real connection between them, although they actually speak in the same setting in the latter, the other two being large drawings comics.) | ||
− | + | In early comics, White Hat appeared mostly as a rare secondary character. Starting with comic [[915: Connoisseur]], White Hat started appearing more often and developed more of a personality, often playing the role of a philosophically misguided person. In this way, he's a bit of a {{w|straw man}}, making [[915|logical]] [[973|fallacies]] [[1215|to help]] [[1255|advance]] [[1277|Randall's point]]. Other times, he is simply an alternative to [[Cueball]] or one of the other main characters. | |
− | + | In [[603: Idiocracy]] a character with a white hat appears, but it is a rounded safari hat very unlike White Hat's usual boater. He also has a very different mindset so there is no reason to believe that he is White Hat at all, and the comic has been removed from the list of those with White Hat. Main reason for this, is that White Hat already appeared in his normal hat three times before that comic, and Safari Hat guy has never been shown again, except in [[1000: 1000 Comics]]. | |
