They show reruns of KUNG FU but they’re just absolutely covered with warnings.

How about Star Trek: TOS?
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!
That doesn't mean every time Kirk visited an unknown planet, he stampeded
the women and raped the cattle.

No one can know that Hollywood once cast roles in which the actor shared absolutely no characteristics of the character he played, and this was perfectly acceptable.
Pay no attention to Disney preferring CGI rather than casting, well,

In any case, it's not hard to imagine someone making the case that Kirk showed a possible tendency to pedophilia in those scenes.

Oh, right, the fact that Carradine wasn't even partially Chinese.

Pedophiles are only attracted to pre-pubescent children.

He didn't know any kung fu! He wasn't from the 19th century either.

I love the modern-day criticism of "racism" in anti-Japanese propaganda produced during WWII, ignoring the obvious that no only were they the
enemy, they literally were the agressors. One isn't expected to say kind things about the enemy during war.
Jack Soo, literally Japanese, was interned during WWII, had to adopt a Chinese surname to perform. As a child, I have to say an actor with a
Chinese surname that I didn't learn till later was Japanese playing a Japanese ethnic character on Barney Miller confused the hell out of me!
How about Crazy Rich Asians? Few in the cast were Chinese ethnics. No
one was a Chinese ethnic from Singapore. Location shooting was Malaysia!
And that movie was widely praised!

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.
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.

Sigh. Women in the movies in the 1960s were just hotter. Star Trek had a
wonderful guest cast of women with timeless hotness. My absolute
favorite was "That Which Survives", Losira, played by Lee Meriwether.
That costume was pure eroticism

Like much of the third season, that script was a let down, but I don't
watch the episode for its script.
New producer little Freddy Fryberger, who was deliberately trying to
destroy the show, said what they wanted was “tits in space“

His big complaint is that the dwarves live in a cave in both the original
and the dreadful remake.
Of course that’s not true in either case.
