By Day: Ryan Krueger, Email Wrangler Extraordinaire (Sort Of)
By day, Ryan Krueger is a mild-mannered, socially awkward email software engineer—employed, somehow, by US Internet. Despite a résumé that reads like a Java tutorial gone wrong, he’s managed to cling to his job, likely through a combination of inertia and managerial oversight.
But when the workday ends, Ryan sheds his cubicle skin and transforms into his online alter ego: MCToon—debunker, grifter, and self-proclaimed science crusader.
By Night: MCToon, Monetised Messiah of Misinformation
Monetising YouTube videos wasn’t enough. Ryan wanted more.
So he turned to emotional manipulation, exploiting his audience with donation drives dressed up as noble quests. His most infamous? A crowdfunded “expedition” to Antarctica, where he promised to debunk the flat Earth once and for all. What his followers actually funded was a globe-trotting holiday for Ryan and his pals—and now, he’s doing it again.
And let’s not forget the merch. T-shirts, mugs, branded smugness—because nothing says “scientific integrity” like a cartoon face on a hoodie.
The Toon Illusion
MCToon isn’t a scientist. He’s not an expert. He’s a fictional character, a digital mask worn by Ryan Krueger to chase infamy and income.
What began as a hobby has become a hustle. What looks like education is just entertainment. And what sounds like truth is just Toon-scripted theatre—sold to the highest bidder.
