We've all been there

"We haven't lost everything Miles, you can still work engineering miracles, and I can still criticize you for not being home often enough."

Even Molly is like "I can't take their shit anymore"

Wait ... can they still fuck? Or is it problematic now? How old is she? Are mental age and physical age the same thing in this scenario? Does she still have her memories?

Woody Allen really needs these questions answered guys.

She is one of several characters with who the infamous 4000yo-dragon defense can actually work.
- Fantasy: A 4000yo dragon/demon
  Sci-fi: Transporter accident.
- YouTube ProZD
  Anime Character: "I'm just a little baby girl."
  ProZD: "Zero [years old]?!"
  Anime Character: "I'm a thousand!"
  ProZD: "NOPE."
Trying to answer this seriously, I'd say no. This is like, a Princess Bubblegum de-aging situation. She has her memories, but her brain and personality is now that of a kid. As opposed to like, Claudia in Interview with the Vampire who is an immortal child that wanted to be treated as the 70 year old woman she was.
But even in the Claudia instance I'd say no because it's still just too gross. There's just no getting past the body age thing. I guess I'd say Claudia could probably have a legal right to seek adult experiences (though she would only find sick weirdos), but Keiko and Princess Bubblegum should not.
Heck, even in Adventure Time Bubblegum loses the right to rule because she is too young, despite being a thousand years old or something.

  I'd argue that a real person in Claudia's situation shouldn't be discriminated against for what is ultimately a physical abnormality. I see it as a more extreme version or "dwarves shouldn't be allowed to have relations with larger people because they look vaugely like children."
  I'd also argue that any media which depicts someone in Claudia's situation finding love is probably some creep trying to find an outlet for their fantasies.

Here's my question, why was the malfunction not replicated and monitized by the Ferangi as a beauty produced? "Look 10 years younger because you will be 10 years younger"

Or when they de aged Pulaski to her "proper" age, they could have just gone a few years younger.
Or when they are aged the people in this episode, maybe only age them into their early 20s.
The transporters open up all sorts of scenarios that they clearly show as possible, but no one ever uses it that way on purpose somehow...
- It's been a while since I saw that episode but weren't they only able to do that because they had her most recent pattern stored in the buffer or something like that?
- I like to believe there are strict ethical laws in far future that are actually enforced, and built into the hardware. Like maybe an ethical local AI
- Could have used that info a bit earlier.
They could literally sell it as immortality elixir, "Look and feel young forever!"
One of the innumerable examples of sci fi tech not being used as it would IRL. It's centuries in the future and they still steer the ship and fire the weapons manually.

Ah yes, the best quote out of context:

I mean, of course you're my wife. But you're also ten years old.

He's nuts over her.

Wife: Would you still love me if I am de-aged accidentally by transporter?

Me: ........

Considering transporters are like 200-year-old technology by that point they fail a surprising amount of times.

Can you imagine if cars occasionally transported you to alternate dimensions, would we all just be fine with it? ""

Some people in cars get yeeted into non-existence, at least the alternate dimensions have cool moustaches.
- Where is Craig he's late for work?
  Craig texted to say he is at work and everyone's evil except the HR lady, so he thinks he might be in the mirror universe
Wacky stuff like that seemingly has been normalized over the years.
But the failure rate of transporters is probably low. With all the dangers of driving (accidents, weather, mechanical failures, etc) people still seem to have no issues driving
- In fact driving is the single most dangerous thing many people do in their whole lives, and they do it every day...
Considering aeroplanes are like 100-year-old technology by this point they fail a surprising amount of times.
- IIRC they even call transporters "the safest way to travel" at one point.
I mean cars do occasionally just burst into flames
Cars are kinda terrible. More than 1 million people die every year from car accidents. That's ignoring deaths from pollution.
I would be fine with that.
Well, we don't usually see a Day in the Life of a Normally Functioning Transporter. It'd make for a pretty boring episode. It's kind of like "Well, where ARE the bathrooms on the ship? What do they look like? How do they work? Do they also use the three seashells?" I mean, getting an answer might be mildly interesting, but really... do we need to see the space toilet? They only kind of got value out of complaining about a lack of showers on Voyager.
Transporters are perfectly safe, and we just see those ultra rare times when they aren't.
No, what you should really worry about is whether it's you that arrives on the other end of that transporter or not. Is there a soul? Does it survive? What is actually transmitted down to the planet? What makes you you, basically? Some people find that line of thought the stuff of nightmares.

"How do you like your coffee?"

"Hot and black. Like my men."

Bruh that was definitly my pick for weirdest and most awkward episode

Even worse than the planet of awful African stereotypes?
- Right? People complain about “Spock’s brain”, while this is staring them in their eyes.
- Fuck, that's a tough one. At least that one has Lieutenant Yar. I love her. Underrated character. In general that one is probably worse though. The sexy planet one was pretty bad too.

Sometimes relationships do be like this though.

That episode was about a transporter mishap that turned Keiko, Ro and Guinan physically into 12-year-olds but mentally they were still adults. At the time I thought it was pretty lame to make anything "pedo" out of that situation. Keiko was an adult woman, married to O'Brien, presumably having a normal amount of sex, and suddenly she has a lot smaller body. How the two of them coped with this in their relationship was between them IMO. But people sure did go to town on it. One writer called him PedO'Brien, also calling a scene "particularly cringe-worthy" where Guinan and Ro decided to embrace their inner child and jump up and down on a bed. I dunno what's wrong with people.

There was a Stargate SG-1 episode where Jack O'Neill got regressed back to a 14 year old (actually he was cloned by an rouge Asguard) and eventually they released him into a public high school with all his adult memories intact. A bit problematic, now that he's an adult man in a child's body presumably banging other teenagers.
- Weird that they would invalidate his existing high school diploma.
  Another weird one is when writers think it makes sense for vampires who are hundreds of years old to spend their days in high school because they have teenage bodies. And they're immortal so presumably they are doomed to spend eternity in high school. What kind of hellish fate is that?

Basically the reality show "Shauna Rae" with the misadventures of dating a 23 year old trapped in the body of an 8 year old 🤨🤨
