What about Monty Python should be changed?

In Monty Python’s Life Of Brian, the drag tropes, member controversies and religious satire create a movie that crosses the line from shocking the audience to offensive material.
Drag
The drag trope reinforces the patriarchal society's ideals of toxic masculinity by lacking the ability to represent sensible women in films. Rather they make men speak in tenor voices and act dumb towards sensitive material. These stereotypes are harmful to modern day society and the hard work women and feminine presenting males have gone through to normalize drag and feminine empowerment.
Controversies With the Actors
The group, Monty Python should not be supported because of not only it's offensive humor, but also controversial members. Because the actors have proven themselves to say shockingly offensive material outside of the movie set, as an audience, we shouldn't continue to show them our support. The actors represent the movie even when they are in the real world and not just on set, hiding behind the "character" they are portraying.
Religious Satire
Although Life of Brian tries to avoid making a movie about Jesus, religious groups still got upset over it's offensive material. This caused the movie to be banned in multiple countries throughout the world and towns in the UK. Sadly, the protestors outrage only gave the movie more popularity and their opinions lost it's power.
