Can we all agree Wonka (2023) will be the last film to ever use a fat suit as a running gag in a movie? I know it's nowhere near equivalent, but I feel like society collectively abandoned ever using blackface in a mainstream film after Tropic Thunder did it ironically in 2006, and we're all better for never having to see anyone try to do it again.

If they simply must have an obese character to ridicule - hire a fat person. Or realize why this is problematic and hire an actual writer.
