Offensive: Mockumentary about Musical of Boys Don't Cry

I know we're going to get into a new round of conversation about art and humor and whatever the f--- else, but I'm horribly offended by the idea of a "mockumentary" about a supposed musical based on Brandon Teena's death.
Just stop it already: leave trans people out of this bulls---.
It would have been just as possible to create a mockumentary about how stupid & shallow musical theater people can be without dragging that young man into it.

A fake documentary series chronicling the backstage antics in a musical adaptation of the film Boys Don't Cry dominated the mockumentary category at the Los Angeles Web Series Festival.
"Thank You ... Next" follows the creative team of a Broadway-bound musical based on the 1999 film starring Hilary Swank in an Oscar-winning performance as transgender teenager Brandon Teena. The Web series won mockumentary prizes including outstanding overall mockumentary, theme song, and supporting actor.
