How about Star Trek: TOS?

 

I want to be drafted into a military in which only hot full-figured
women with great legs are drafted and the very short uniforms are
designed to show off as much leg as possible.

 

Now THAT would be a fun army ;-)

 

I've been rewatching those in recent weeks and the other day, I found
myself squirming a bit during the Miri episode where Kirk is remarking
on Miri becoming a young woman and an attractive one at that. Although
Kim Darby was apparently 22 during the filming of that episode, her
character was supposed to be just entering puberty....

 

Sigh

 

Can it be explained for the millionth time that reproduction relies upon
members of the opposite sex being attracted to each other's sexual
characteristics? It's instinct!

 

You know that and I know that but apparently the woke crowd finds it
offensive.

 

In any case, it's not hard to imagine someone making the case that Kirk
showed a possible tendency to pedophilia in those scenes. Someone could
even argue that Kirk was grooming Miri, although he was doing it openly
in front of Spock, McCoy and Yeoman Rand.

 One conversation ain't grooming, but yes, a situation in which a young
woman is seduced by a trusted adult with some authority over her over a
period of time would be grooming.
 

The episode spanned a week and there were presumably more conversations than the ones depicted in that time.

It's not paedophilia. A paedophile would reject a girl showing signs of
puberty or, in Miri's case, having largely gone through puberty.

The concept has long been moviePig-ized to describe any sexual
attraction the speaker deems to be inappropriate regardless of whether
there was an attempt to act upon it. An attraction to young but
pubescent is biology, not an adverse psychological characteristic.
 

. . .

Fair enough. I suppose I've been more influenced by this woke garbage than I realized.
