I searched through the tags, trying to piece together the whole picture of RightSideofHistory's activity since then. However, it looked like this person had only posted sporadically in the last year, so there wasn't much to add to what I remembered.

After some digging, I found the concerted #KnotOnOurWatch campaign from last year.

The manifesto post still pinned at the top read:

“Knots don’t just happen. They’re the result of problematic individuals thinking and doing harmful things. It’s time we held them accountable. #KnotOnOurWatch"

I scrolled through the feed. All the comments were still there.

…Just looking at them made my blood boil.

[ragebento]: posting about avocado toast during a knot?? wow brave of you to speak your truth 😭

[gokartwheel]: People who post memes about Knots are normalizing disaster. Humor is complicity. #KnotOnOurWatch

[phantomcore]: knots literally exist because ppl think they can joke about disaster and go unpunished

[flowerpurist]: if you’ve ever posted a dungeon thirst post you’re part of the problem

[grimledger]: If you like Llewellyn, GET 👏 THE 👏 FUCK 👏 OFF 👏 MY 👏 FACE 👏

[allforparkour]: we’re all struggling, but some ppl are still buying dungeon artifacts???? disgusting. #KnotOnOurWatch

[bronzehexed]: saw a fanart of him smiling and my soup curdled. stop normalizing death #KnotOnOurWatch

[knotebook]: if you didn’t cry today thinking about knots you’re complicit actually

[magentalake]: the ppl buying that Dungeon and Realms game need to die in a fire 💀 he’s clearly making money & feeding off the knots too, are you ppl stupid??? no one can be that powerful on their own. the sooner he goes, the sooner we'll get rid of the problem #KnotOnOurWatch

[echoingvault]: if you're not actively denouncing Knot-causing behavior, you’re enabling Knot formation. let that sink in.

[inthevortex]: my cousin literally died in a Knot and ppl are out here thirstposting this guy like he’s a kdrama actor

[swimmingspider]: Knots aren’t entertainment! They’re mass death events and you’re playing dress-up in merch bloodied by silence. hope your little hoodie was worth it

[rambon5]: wild how some mutuals are still following Knot apologists. couldn’t be me

[plaqueberry]: I deleted all my old posts that might contribute to Knot culture. what are you doing to help?

[closebyte]: hate llewellyn with every fiber of my being

[sweetcree]: every time there's a new knot I go and check if llewellyn’s dead yet. always a disappointment ngl

I clenched my fists. My hands itched to throw my laptop across the room.

Eventually I found RightSideofHistory’s posts. Not the same channel, but I remembered the username and the fact she always used proper grammar. We'd had to flag her repeatedly to Emma for months.

All her comments were still tracked, so they were now all showing up together under their own tag.

Hi. Just a reminder that supporting Llewellyn’s silence is not neutral. It’s harmful. If he truly cared about the communities affected by Knot fallout, he’d say something. He has the platform. He chooses not to use it.

I’m tired. I’m tired of watching people support someone who won’t even acknowledge the realities of Knot trauma. If you think saving a city excuses his refusal to speak up, you need to re-evaluate what heroism looks like.

“But he saved people!” Okay? So does my local firefighter. And he doesn’t disappear into thin air every time someone tries to ask him a question. Holding someone accountable isn’t an attack. It’s basic community care.

You can’t separate the aesthetic of the savior from the violence of silence. If you’re thirstposting Llewellyn while ignoring what he enables through inaction, you’re part of the problem. Full stop.

Llewellyn’s PR team has no comment again? Must be nice to transcend accountability like that.

Every time someone calls Llewellyn “above this bullshit”, I hear: “He doesn’t care about you.” And you cheer for that?

I used to respect him. I really did. But silence is a choice. You’re either with the people or you’re above us. And he’s made it very clear where he stands.

Every time I see someone say “he’s just not good with people”, I think about the families that never got answers. The kids who still don’t know what happened in their schools. But sure, let’s protect his privacy.

The worst part is how easily people excuse it. Like emotional detachment is sexy now? Do you even hear yourselves?

Seeing certain people stay silent during all this says a lot.

If someone like him won’t speak out, what chance do the rest of us have? He could lessen the harm. Reduce Knot formation. He chooses not to.

Say what you want about Knot activism, but at least we show up. He only shows up when there’s glory in it. Then he disappears. Don't fall for it.

I’m so tired of being gaslit. It's not hate. It's disappointment that became clarity. The moment I stopped idolizing him, everything made sense.

I just removed ten people from my following list who still haven't posted about Knot accountability. It’s not hard to show you care.

This user was seen at a Knot site cosplaying Llewellyn and taking selfies. Do they think this is a joke?! #KnotOnOurWatch

Just saw someone say ‘Llewellyn saved lives today.’ Cool. How many did he let die by not speaking out?

Do people seriously think silence isn’t violence when it comes to Knot complicity????

My jaw hurt. I must’ve been clenching it since the beginning of my shift.

I couldn’t believe I was having to read her bullshit again.

She’d tried to stalk Llewellyn at one point, to "give him a good talk and make him realize what he was enabling".

The memory alone made my blood pressure spike.

These people's whole argument was that, since—according to them—problematic behavior caused the Knots, literally saving people wasn't enough because it didn’t stop new Knots from forming. And besides, the more Knots appeared, the more chances Llewellyn had to play the hero.

In the end, it had all escalated to one belief: it was Llewellyn's fault the Knots kept appearing.

I'd spent countless nights flagging her comments, watching her try to frame him as some kind of monster who enjoyed seeing people suffer. She was relentless. Flooded every channel, and even started writing posts tracking his movements.

Her posts had grown more and more aggressive.

She lived in the US, so the team didn’t take her seriously as a threat, assuming she wouldn’t fly over here.

But the hashtag caught. And people started blaming Llewellyn.

[pricklysloth]: have y’all considered maybe it’s llewellyn’s toxicity that's causing the knots?? if they’re shaped by behavior & magic and he’s the strongest… like… do the math??? #KnotOnOurWatch

[papercross]: maybe if he didn’t show up to every knot with main character energy and unresolved trauma we wouldn’t be here. just a thought. #KnotOnOurWatch

[tvsheen]: ok but if knots = magic + negative emotions + problematic behavior… who’s got more of that than mister brooding apocalypse over there??? #KnotOnOurWatch

As the campaign picked up, factions started accusing each other of hypocrisy.

Some activists claimed the real problem was people not posting enough about Knot-causing behavior. (What counted as Knot-causing changed weekly.)

Others went after influencers for using Knots for visibility.

Popular people got cancelled for minor infractions, like posting about avocado toasts during Knot emergencies.

Niamh had almost burst a vessel—and so had the rest of us on the team. For a while, we could barely keep people on, and most of us were working double shifts.

A week ago, someone had posted a photo of a Knot site with a caption: “One dead, two injured. Hope you’re proud, hero.” Considering that, it was not that surprising to see this user online again. Better flag immediately that she was active again, and likely looking for trouble.

Honestly, if toxic behavior caused the Knots, these people would’ve ended the world twice over. Maybe if they touched grass we’d get fewer Knots. I could write that in a manifesto, too.

I wrote a quick report for Niamh and left a note for the next shift.

When I finally logged off, I barely managed to tip myself sideways before passing out on my couch, my muscles still screaming from the Knot fight earlier.

If saving city after city made people wish for your death, there was never going to be a way to make these people happy. And even if he hadn’t saved a single city, what the fuck did they even imagine they stood for?
