StoneToss, also known as MineralMotion, PebblePunt, RockThrow, GravelChuck, and other, similar names by his detractors, is a neo-Nazi webcomic artist known for promoting Holocaust denial, racism, homophobia, sexism, and antisemitism."Antifa redditors are repurposing anti-Semitic comics for good" by David Gilmour, Daily Dot, 2019 May 31 He has a nasty tendency to create more benign comics in an effort to try and disguise his more heinous ones.
The Anonymous Comrades Collective revealed in March 2024 that a man named Hans Kristian Graebener writes StoneToss.“StoneToss” Tossed: Hans Kristian Graebener of Spring, TX by ancoco (2024-03-12) Anonymous Comrades Collective.Brace yourself for some deeply unfunny & cruel cartoons, serious cringe, & regenerating foreskins! This is long overdue and @anoncomrades & @latenightafa brought in heavy hitter comrade @theclaw414 who knocked it outta' the park! STRONG CONTENT WARNING!!!!! This revelation also confirmed the long-running suspicion that Graebener was also the author of the similar neo-Nazi comic RedPanels.The StoneToss Trace: A short version. latenightafa.noblogs.org, 12 March 2024. Shortly after this StoneToss posted on Twitter an apparent response to people discovering his identity: "One of you has a direct line to @elonmusk - and you need to use it. … If Elon's idea of a "free speech" website is one where people can be intimidated into silence, the outcome will be a site where the Stasi will drive out all dissent. … If he needs a shortlist of the worst offenders, that can be easily provided."StoneToss (March 14, 2024). "One of you has a direct line to @elonmusk - and you need to use it." Twitter, via archive.today.
==Early appearance==
Graebener partied with other Gamergaters in New York in 2014, a group which included Frederick “Hotwheels” Brennan, founder of 8chan.Gamergate Supporters Partied at a Strip Club This Weekend by Adrian Chen (Oct. 27, 2014) Intelligencer (New Magazine).
==New donation site==
StoneToss briefly had a page with Hatreon, the self-aware "anti-SJW" knockoff of Patreon, prior to Visa suspending financial service to the site. After that, he used NewProject2, a minimalist "freedom of expression" membership platform (just like Gab and 8chan) that didn't have a complete privacy policy as of February 2019.NewProject2's Privacy Policy. Archived. The comic had fourteen supporters as of April 2020. The NewProject2 was eventually shut down.
==Banned==
===His subreddit===
Stonetoss's official subreddit, banned on 18th March 2019, was a Neo-Nazi hive. The official reason given by Reddit was, "This subreddit was banned due to a violation of Reddit’s content policy against creating or repurposing a sub to reconstitute or serve the same objective as a previously banned or quarantined subreddit".Banned Via Reddit. This ban came a few weeks after the banning of an associated Discord server.Only Screenshot 14th of March 2019, via Archive.fo 
===His TV Tropes article===
In 2020, either a fan or someone within Graebener's circle created a TV Tropes article about the comic, which was later deleted and salted after discussion decided there was nothing salvageable about the page, that it was impossible to describe the work in a neutral manner, and also because of concerns about his fanbase brigading the article (and that Graebener thanked the site for the publicity and traffic generated).How should we handle Stonetoss?, TV Tropes This is a rather special case, as TV Tropes normally keeps articles on hateful works for informative and documentary reasons."Q: So should I take every article here as an endorsement of whatever it describes? A: No, of course not. We have pages on Greedy Jew, Adolf Hitler and Mein Kampf after all.", Content Violations Discussions forum rules & procedure, TV Tropes Of course, the article's creator was also banned from the site.Edit banned/Suspended - would like to edit again., TV Tropes
===His NFTs===
In November 2021, Stonetoss decided to dip his toes into the world of crypto art by launching his own collection of 5000 Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) called "Flurks," each depicting one of the humanoid characters he uses in his comics, but with randomized features and clothing. However, one day after the minting day, his collection was banned off of OpenSea@opensea we need to talk , your platform unlisted our nft collection without giving us a reason and just out of nowhere. Please DM us, @flurksnft on Twitter and Rarible,"We just got deplatformed by @rarible", @flurksnft on Twitter two major NFT trading platforms. So much for decentralization?
===Twitter/X===
Good one. He's not banned yet, though.
In fact — despite the alt-right on Twitter thoroughly embracing the doxxing tactic without any punishment whatsoever, with troll Twitter accounts Libs of TikTok and Andy Ngo being particularly egregious offenders — after StoneToss was doxxed, "free speech absolutist" Elon Musk actually went out of his way to suspend Twitter accounts that shared the identity of StoneToss as Hans Kristian Graebener. Musk also retroactively changed the site's rules to prohibit exposing a person's real name, which, to the surprise of no one, is never enforced when it comes to deadnaming trans people.
(Showing that Musk seemed to have no clue on how the Internet has responded to information suppression for decades, this merely resulted in a Streisand effect where numerous Twitter accounts changed their profile name to "Hans Kristian Graebener is stonetoss".)"Elon Musk's X Is Suspending Accounts That Reveal a Neo-Nazi Cartoonist's Alleged Identity" by David Gilbert, Wired, 2024 March 20
==Parody edits==
Due to their exploitability as a meme template, Stonetoss comics have commonly been parodied/edited for meme purposes by online leftists, usually with Stonetoss's website URL replaced by the phrase "Stonetoss is a Nazi." For instance, the Reddit community r/antifastonetoss has managed partial success as a parody and deplatforming effort, even temporarily overtaking his amount of followers. And naturally, in leftist infighting fashion, the subreddit split over Vaush.https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/mnfop2/rantifastonetoss_users_are_in_a_state_of_civil/https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/mq9avu/update_on_rantifastonetoss_the_mod_behind_banwave/
In 2020 and 2021, edits of Stonetoss' comics with people replaced with characters and intentionally bastardized references to the popular game "Among Us" also became a popular internet meme.https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/amogus So much so that, unfortunately, Stonetoss played into it.Stonetoss Comics on Twitter, 16 February 2021.

Many billionaires who are Jewish made their money in creating computer software or websites (e.g. Facebook),(October 2018). 5 Jews make Forbes’ list of top 10 wealthiest Americans, The Times of Israel.

He managed to make the dumbest possible comparison here.Wagging the Dog, StoneToss Unlike dogs, humans have not been selectively bred for any specific purpose, though eugenicists would like that to be the case. Human size differences (after nutritional differences are eliminated) are probably under 5% by mass; For dogs, two breeds might well be 5000% different in size, because dogs are extraordinarily diverse and they go through generations quickly, as they can begin breeding around 1 year of age, whereas humans can't even safely reproduce until their late teens. However, since the healthiest and smartest dogs tend to be mutts,Intelligence of Purebred vs Mixed Breed Canines following the example of dogs would imply (by this logic) humans should promote interracialism, leading to...

This leads to people buying bigger, stronger, and hungrier processors to mine as much as possible, with the end result being a whole lot of energy being consumed for not a lot of actual value.

File:Stonetoss-invasive-species-comic.png|Funny how he compares roses, a group of flowering plants known for consuming a lot of water and resources, with white people. Also, this is the incorrect use of the ecological term "invasive species" (a species that is not endemic to a region, whose impact has altered the environment of the region) when the Nazi cartoonist Stonetoss doesn't specify which region he is referring to. As far as we know, the roses depicted here could be the invasive species. If he means Europe, lavender (the plant with the thinner, violet flowers) is actually native. It is also quite a poor analogy to compare legal immigrants to invaders, when they are allowed in by governments that are voted in by the people.

File:Stonetoss centrism.png|thumb|center|Notice the transphobia in the bottom left. Comics like this serve to both help his comics spread to people who consider themselves centrists and to obfuscate the fact that he is far-right.Foot in Mouth, Stonetoss Look at all of the above comics and see for yourself how much of a "centrist" this guy is. His supporters claim his comics are satirical, but when he has comics making fun of the opponents of Holocaust denial and "race realism", both of which are only popular on the far right, while not making fun of even marginally right wing ideas unless the punchline is they're not right-wing enough, it makes this lie clear: the "satire" defense is trite and lazy. Nevertheless, comics like this one give him a veneer of neutrality that can make it a bit more difficult to convince his fans that he's a Nazi.
