fosters home for imaginary friends was an awful dystopia and no one talks about it at all
just a few things established in the fosters universe
imaginary friends are sentient people and everyone can see them
8 years old is considered too old to have an imaginary friend
a large amount of imaginary friends get thrown out on the street legally. At several points they talk about how they had nowhere to go and just wandered around. In Good Wilt Hunting you see a neighborhood full of imaginary friends that live on the street
this is such an issue there’s shelter(s). there’s absolutely political debates about this.
imaginary friends have rights, but not the same rights as humans (they can hold jobs and need passports and such but they can be confiscated/held as property and apparently killed without any legal issues)
babies imagine abstract, swarming friends, kids imagine normal friends, anyone older tends towards violent monsters that have to be locked up to keep them from attacking people
at one point, someone imagines a friend and eats it because they’re hungry
Some hick on Craigslist: Looking to breed my red nose Pitt with another red nose female. I get to keep one of the puppies.
Me: There are lots of Pitties in shelters if you want a new dog.
Hick: Quit trying to make me feel guilty for wanting another generation of my beautiful dog. Why do you even have kids? When your precious kids die, why don’t you just go pick some up from foster care?
Me: The two situations aren’t even remotely the same, unless you had all of your kids by posting an ad on Craigslist seeking a random man with certain physical characteristics to impregnate you and you only kept the kids you liked and sold the others to total strangers.
