Please stop basing an entire movie about how funny it is that a black man is dressed like a fat woman.

It may have been funny once, but now it’s turning into an odd genre thing, and honestly? It’s just kinda weird at this point. I’m not pointing out films where an actor just wears a fat suit (Austin Powers, Get Smart), because the movie is not dependent on “oh lord, they are so a man as a woman!” for it to work. Mrs. Doubtfire is also part of the offending genre.
