>the Disney movie where Karen Duffy sexually assaults a child

Wait 'til you see Big, the 12 year old played by Tom Hanks has sex with an adult character. It seemed a bit weird even at the time and I'm sure that storyline wouldn't be written nowadays.

To be fair, the actual adult in that fictional narrative had no idea. It looked like adult Tom Hanks, and acted like a lot of men in their twenties — exactly the same way that a 13-year-old acts. :-)

Indeed, and the revelation was a deliberate part of the storyline.

I don't know if I was really putting the blame on the fictional character or on the real-world writers 😂

To be fair, fictional characters are fictional, real-world writers are real. It's pretty clear where the blame lies.
