huggy wuggy was on the news for this reason...

[DisneyFanatic]

I'm sick and tired of parents condemning movies and games as being "inappropriate" for children...when they are literally RATED as inappropriate for children! Seriously, do they NOT read the ratings and content warnings? I worked at a movie theater and had parents complain about the PG-13 Spiderman movie having explosions, R-rated movies having swear words and violence...
WHY DO YOU THINK WE HAVE THE RATING SYSTEM, PARENTS???!!!

I'm a mother of 4 and I'm sick and tired of these parents blaming everyone and everything besides themselves for the responsibility of what their kids do.

I swear the people who aren't on our side of the internet makes me feel sorry that they have no idea what kind of embarrassment they've put themselves through.

Ah yes, the 'Huggy Wuggy game', the game where the cookie monster follows you around and hugs you, then whispers mantras into your ear

Hearing a serious news say "huggy wuggy" is killing me

“It’s called, innocently enough, the Huggy Wuggy game.”-People who don’t know what they’re talking about, 2022

[snAiL....]

ddlc also was on the news once to "warn parents"
there is no need to warn parents about a game that isnt for kids

[_-VMPIRFNGZ-_]

Undertale was also on the news and a message from a parents was
“I was going through my daughters phone and I saw many photos of a cartoon skeleton with one glowing blue eye and wearing a hoodie” “how do I get my daughter to not, have such demonic photos on her phone” and they were talking about it like it was such a dangerous game I was dying

I wonder how the creators of the game are handling this. They are probably laughing at how ridiculous this news article is.

The drunk uncle version of huggy wuggy is called drunky wunky

The news trying to cover games is hilarious and stupid, but it’s also the reason why the meme “video game character The Heavy” exists, and I’m thankful.

[HyperX]

“And its called, innocently enough, the huggy wuggy game.” Man sometimes news reporters can be the stupidest people on earth

[thrillddict]

It's honestly crazy that Huggy Wuggy got on the news and they think it's disturbing and "causing children to perform violent actions" and "disturbing images/sayings" when there's other games that could encourage violent behavior or nightmares.

"Guys! I just bought the new Huggy Wuggy game and I'm gonna play it today!"
How to lose all your friends in one sentence.

The game isn't the problem. It's the parents who let their kids online without supervision. My 6 yr old sister is fine though. She loves Huggy Wuggy and watches so many gameplays including yours :D

[flumph]

The part where Huggy Wuggy hugs the main character and sings a song in their ear gets me everytime. Honestly can't forget when he encourages the main player to harm themselves and others at the end of the game either, truly a memorable moment.

[HANKSANDY]

Yes, all kids should be made into spineless, pampered, overprotected single cell no entertainment beings

[supersurprises]

As someone who owns a Huggy plush, I can confirm he is not dangerous because he would have killed me already if he was evil.
