Hey, y'know what's worse than Danny's parents hating ghosts?
Danny's parents loving ghosts.
[S1 "Maternal Instinct"]
A love that doesn't stand in conflict with the indiscriminate violence they perpetuate against them. A fascination, sincere and deep... and unempathetic and dangerous.
Maybe Danny doesn't need to worry much about whether they'd love him if they knew he was a ghost, but rather how.
