A massive thread doxxing one of the most infamous alt-right comic artists went viral on X today, revealing that a resident of Spring, Texas could be the person behind StoneToss and its precursor RedPanels.
On Tuesday, a collective effort by Antifa groups Anonymous Comrades Collective and Late Night Anti-Fascists revealed that the artist behind notorious StoneToss comics may be 34-year-old Spring, Texas, resident Hans Kristian Graebener.
The 99-part X / Twitter thread and a blog post published by Anonymous Comrades Collective on the same day go in-depth into RedPanels and StoneToss' online history, the comics promoting antisemitism, racism and transphobia, and provide arguments that Hans Krisitan Graebener, who previously worked in IT and as a security guard, is the alleged artist behind StoneToss.
The investigators first matched information gathered from a 2016 AMA by RedPanels with a photograph from a 2014 8chan meetup to identify a person named Hans who flew to the party from Texas. Houston, coincidentally, was the location set in RedPanels' Twitter profile and mentioned by the artist in the AMA.
From there, using data from a 2021 security breach of the social media website Gab and another breach of a Bitcoin forum, the Antifa groups managed to discover that RedPanels account was registered to an email with the username "HGraebener." From there on, other aliases used by Graebener online, including "Scythe00" and "Mister Roasty," were purportedly discovered.
A lot of information about Hans Graebener has been scrubbed from identity data sites, his house was removed from Google Maps and Graebener's name was even deleted from a family obituary. One possible explanation is that Graebener's attempting to hide his Puerto Rican heritage from his followers, who some speculate would consider it a suboptimal fit for an artist who frequently comments on white superiority.
Graebener's May 2019 work trip to Japan was discovered on the LinkedIn profile of a company he worked for at the time also purportedly matches StoneToss posting about arriving in Japan that month.
While it can not yet be without any shadow of a doubt confirmed that Hans Krisitan Graebener and StoneToss are indeed one and the same, many on social media are already convinced that the days of StoneToss posting his comics in the safety of online anonymity are over.
It appears that despite all the memes StoneToss was not a Black woman after all.
