Can't have kids entering adulthood with any ideas about changing or helping the world. Much better for business if they give up all those hopes and just get a job.
They'd better get a job, caring for a walrus isn't cheap.
The smiles are priceless, but the wall repair bill for tusk marks is higher than you’d expect.
Even if they did have ideas, there's a good chance they'd still get pushed into a confined and dehumanizing existence.
Still better to try than not imo
Yeah, but I can kind of get why some fiction might want to frame adulthood more in the direction of tapering expectations with a "sordid lament over losing the parts of yourself you like" since that's totally realistic
