The name 'Huggy Wuggy' may sound cuddly and endearing, but a senior education expert has warned that children are being left "terrified" by the viral video game character's appearance in a social media content.
The fanged monster features in the horror-themed Poppy Playtime, a computer game set in an abandoned toy factory and released last year., and has spawned sequels with higher ratings.An Adelaide primary school has written to parents warning that content featuring the "sinister online character" has made its way "into children's mainstream content" on social media and gaming platforms, where it is accompanied by horror-themed imagery including pools of blood.
"Huggy Wuggy, a blue teddy bear who sings songs about hugging and killing people, is appearing across TikTok, Roblox and Minecraft," the letter stated."Kids as young as five have been playing games in the playground hugging each other and whispering frightening lyrics such as 'hugging you to death' and 'till you breathe your last breath', leaving many upset."
The school stated that the intention of flagging the trend was not to prompt a knee-jerk concern, but to ensure parents were "aware of the latest harmful trend doing the rounds".Watch
Ah yes, the mascot horror genre. Not really threatening enough on it's own, so fans make it scarier. Trust me, the games aren't really that bad, they're very mild and designed to appeal to younger audiences who might be into horror

If you think that’s bad, take a look at the quality of the education curriculum and what’s being taught in class. Dear oh dear...
Meanwhile I grew up with lovely and 100% kid friendly German children's stories
