I thought this was a joke but when i googled huggy wuggy the first "people also ask:" AI response was this
Edit: sorry i cut off the top but it was "is huggy wuggy good for kids"
Yea in my country there was a whole moral panic around it. There were psychologists appearing on TV saying that this is DISTORTING children's behaviour because it's associating hugs with horror and fear.
When I was a kid there was this weirdo that was always way too affectionate to the point all my friends hated how he would go around hugging everyone. It was dismissed by all our parents as him just being friendly.
Now nobody to my knowledge got abused by him other than awkward hugs at public gatherings.
Then one day I read in the local paper he got caught smoking meth in his van with a couple high school girls and I was like fuck yall I fuckin knew he was a creep.
I never liked hugging for decades because of that sick pos.
