About

Crafter Face Reveal, also known as the @Craftiest_ Face Reveal, refers to Twitter / X user Crafter (@Craftiest_) purportedly being exposed as a white kid posing as an adult Black man online, among other accusations. Supposed pictures of Crafter were leaked on Twitter in May 2025, showing him with glasses, sticking his tongue out and sometimes giving the middle finger. Others leaked Discord messages allegedly sent by Crafter in which he used the N-word, said he hated Black people and spouted other racist and antisemitic remarks. The story inspired multiple memes in late May 2025, which used Crafter's selfies and his profile picture of a cat with galaxy glasses as image macros. Others made edits of him as Adolf Hitler. The memes were largely at the expense of Crafter, using him as a symbol of Digital Blackface and the co-option of AAVE by non-Black internet users.
