I figure I'm not going to convince you, but I thought sharing my opinion might sway users less devoted to the moonman core idea of unmitigated racism. I acknowledge the effort you've put into transforming moonman into something marketable, but you are wrapping a gold sheet of foil around a nugget of shit. The moonman fad lacks the mocking self-awareness that other proclaimed stupid humor fads have. There is no meta-humor-like edge that makes it acceptable to enjoy in its current form. That fine line has been crossed, and thus, it is impossible for me to support it in good conscience, (or maybe I've just interpreted them to be smarter than they really are, and this one stupider than it, but I digress: I wouldn't have to dissect the fad so much if I enjoyed it at face value). The underlying theme of moonman is that taboos are intrinsically funny. They aren't. Moonman is the equivocation of racism without the political subtext to give it meaning. Calling blacks niggers without a punchline is not racial comedy. Anyone who thinks they are the same thing is missing the point. What you've done is applicable to a celebrity, or a box of cornflakes, but without the added bonus of using pop culture ironically. You've tried to develop moonman into a blank slate for the rebellious spirit, but all you've really done is make a poor man's Dr-L337.
