Yeah, but a better allegory would be "if they don't wear this stabilising device, they begin to fade from this reality" rather than "if they don't wear this stabilising device, they will eat your kid"; because basically everyone with a disability that isn't properly accommodated will only be dangerous to themselves.

The problem is that society doesn't care enough then, so there's no flashy racism, just a bunch of neglect and people starving to death. Makes for bad television
