Depending on your age Mactonight are two completely different things. If your gen-x or millennial Mactonight is the weird fast food mascot you saw at McDonald's 20 years ago. If your a zoomer Mactonight is Moonman, the vaporwave, alt-right rapper who loves to say the n-word and kill minorities.
I’m an older millennial who’s fairly into vaporwave and I’ve never heard of this racist rapper version of mac tonight. The food mascot from the 80s (twenty years ago was 2004, btw) fits in with the 80s samples vaporwave uses, like this Saint Pepsi track:
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.
I remember the McDonald's near my high school had a maybe 3/4 sized version hanging from the ceiling for a few years. Couldn't get to the ball pit fast enough to escape that uncanny nightmare...
Wow I’m old, I remember this nightmare.

I remember my dad listening to Moonman songs.

What the actual fuck‽
This is what happens when you let channers have modding tools.
This is the one I found as well. I wonder what happened to saint Pepsi?
I can't find the video, but i saw someone interview him, and PepsiCo asked him to use a different name.
He now goes by Skylar Spence. It's a different genre, but I love the songs he's released under that name.
I saw him in concert in 2017 under Skylar Spence, but he flipped back to Saint Pepsi for his 2019 release, so he must have figured that out somehow.
"(twenty years ago was 2004, btw)"
I know that but if you were a millennial it would have been 20 years ago.
I only heard about it from a youtube documentary
Mac tonight was more like 30 years ago... I thought he was cool
1986-1990, apparently
Yep that sounds about right. I stand by my “old” statement.

I don't know if EmpLemon is considered a controversial character or not, but here's what popped into my head the second I saw this.
Why is emplemon controversial?
I was just being overly cautious because it's been a while since I've watched and of their videos, and you know how it goes with YouTubers
Lol true

Fun fact: This was actor and contortionist Doug Jones’s first role.

This'll scare the shit out of Seth 😆

"any of you kids wanna see a dead fry cook?"
I don't think adding sunglasses is going to make that any less of a nightmare.
I'm not sure how much sunglasses will help this nightmare.
It helps a lot, with the glasses he's just a weird jazz man, no glasses and he's a sleep paralysis eldritch horror.
Let’s dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
