    A lengthy X thread posted by the antifascist research group Anonymous Comrades Collective last week claimed that Stonetoss is a man named Hans Kristian Graebener from Spring, Texas. Stonetoss cartoons, which feature simple and colorful imagery coupled with racist, homophobic, and antisemitic language, have become hugely popular among right-wing communities since they were first published at least seven years ago.

    Dang. I hope someone doesn’t paste this on Twitter and get it removed.

      There are now hundreds of posts on the platform which name Stonetoss as [doxxedNazi]. There are also numerous accounts on the platform that changed their profile name to “[Nazi Doxxi] is stonetoss”—and they haven’t all been suspended.

      Interesting: when I search the guy’s name on the dying bird site, top results are all low-view Tweets. And only found one user with the above username. Marsman really sticking up for him!

      He also had a comic called Red Panels before which was even worse. Stonetoss was a rebrand to come across as less horrifically racist. The article mentions this, but I think associating his name with Red Panel is also important.
