A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Moral implications don't exist for her. She saw a fully adult male.
Legal implications don't exist, because no law on the books takes into account the concept of a child inhabiting an adults body.
Josh on the other hand......
Josh is a child and bears no responsibility for any sexual encounters
Solid assessment.
I think the closest legal grounds we have would be when an adult that has the mental capacity of a child is the victim. Of course this isn't the same scenario, and all tangible evidence is lost when Josh returned to his normal body.
Any questionable acts would happen after the movie's end. My thoughts have always been what the effects were to Susan once she saw he was telling the truth. We don't even really get that short of the look of amazement, and maybe shock on her face.
I'd imagine she would be the one feeling violated here.
