Moon Man isn’t really a vaporwave thing. It’s a meme that originated from YTMND in the late 2000’s which rebranded Mac Tonight as a white supremacist rapper, often accompanied with slur-filled text-to-speech parodies of various rap songs.
It’s not the reason McDonalds ditched the mascot (that was due to an entirely unrelated trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Bobby Darin’s son in 1989), but it is a big reason why they started actively pulling down Mac Tonight animatronics in their restaurants which were otherwise being left disused.
The most infamous Moon Man thing to exist is a controversial DOOM mod which replaces all the enemies with incredibly xenophobic depictions of minorities, and adds a roster of several playable characters including him, Hitler and Ben Garrison.
