I actually am familiar with the team who developed this game. There isn't an ill intent here, but there is a huge word of caution to watch what your children consume.
Poppy's Playtime is geared to an "amusement horror" genre that usually targets millennial gamers (similar to FNaF fame) using toys that look and act nostalgic. Let's be real, the last non-licensed toys happened for millennials. It's not teaching children to "kill their parents." Huggy Wuggy is only in like 5% of the game (so far, it is episodic).
However, the cute nature let's a lot of parents believe it's a kids game, and with all the offbrand merch helps cement this factoid. Many parents are lazy and this ends up permeating into the school yards where it honestly shouldn't be discussed.
I agree with you. It isn't for kids. Anything harmful is coming from the internet surrounding the game and making up dumb stuff. BTW Kissy Missy got "rule 34ed" just... no... why you even... it's so gross.
Not defending it, but Rule 34 probably exists because of how isolated males are, how encouraged mistreatment of males have been, and how glorified sexual content has become.
Surely a huge mix of of other reasons, but I believe these are the catalysts as to why. The mixture to distract and demoralize with dopamine addictions.
