>To be fair, the actual adult in that fictional narrative had no idea.
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 π

>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.

>Itβs amusing to me that βpooβ is so widely accepted
I have to take you up on this... are you saying it's too rude? Too unusual? Poo is a very common term indeed.

Well... the Knights Templar were effectively French, despite later retrocon that makes them an "English" bastion, and they made a great deal of wealth from ursury so the money was always in a legal limbo. Eventually, as you say, the cash was taken by the Crown and the Knights fell from favour.

>Well, we know there were links between Scotland and the Islamic world in the twelfth century.
This is true, and we know it even further back than that. Right-through trade links existed between Romano-Britain for wealthy traders, while different routes were available to the mixed peoples of the post-Romano vacuum, and beyond.
By the 12th century some trade and communication links were so robust you could make a cash deposit in Edinburgh and withdraw it in local currency as you got off the boat in the Holy Land. True story!
EDIT: Downvotes but no challenge as to which part of this you consider incorrect? Peculiar.
Second edit... faith in common sense restored... and now I'm off down a hole in the rain, wish me luck π
