-'''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. Unlike Black Hat, however, White Hat doesn't necessarily represent the same character in each appearance.

Unlike Black Hat, however, White Hat doesn't necessarily represent the same character in each appearance, though technically he has a misguided philosophy over comics.
-Interestingly, the two characters have been depicted together only in [[1000: 1000 Comics]], [[1110: Click and Drag]], [[1708: Dehydration]], [[1756: I'm With Her]], [[1881: Drone Training]], [[2174: First News Memory]], [[2348: Boat Puzzle]], [[2712: Gravity]] and [[2765: Escape Speed]] although they actually speak in the same setting in [[1708]] and [[2174]], and speak to each other in [[1881]],  the other three being [[:Category:Large drawings|large comics]] where they do not meet. ''Arguably'' they appear in the comic [[2660: Gen Z]] as historical counterparts, however they aren't ''actually'' the characters. The same goes for the other white hat guy, [[Beret Guy]]. See more on how little these three interact in xkcd in the explanation for [[:Category:Characters with hats|Characters with hats]].

 In early comics, White Hat appeared mostly as a rare secondary character. But starting with comic [[915: Connoisseur]], White Hat began 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 {{rw|straw_man|straw man}}, making {{rw|fallacy|logical fallacies}} to help advance [[Randall Munroe|Randall]]'s point (see also [[973: MTV Generation]], [[1215: Insight]], [[1255: Columbus]], [[1277: Ayn Random]], [[2357: Polls vs the Street]] and [[2368: Bigger Problem]]). Other times, he is simply an alternative to [[Cueball]] or one of the other main characters.
