Symbol 2022. Hagi Wagie as a Baptist of War: Why did a toy-moon to become a monster

I was surprised by the monsters: it is strange that they are sold to children? And the price is bitter. "Because the trend," the sellers explained with laughter. "It's Hagi Weight. We are afraid of them. But children take them. " It turned out to be a computer game character-a toy, which suddenly became a monster that tries to devour everyone. Symbolically, he reminded friendship with our northern neighbor, who suddenly discovered on the arms on February 24 - the animal.

The focus is dealt with with the history of a popular meme, which can claim a symbol of 2022. I bought Darmovis in the form of Khagi Weight, because I did not recognize in it the "Carpathian" monster: he smiles here with his mouth closed.

When I got into the network, I was struck by the popularity of the blue monster: Arestovich has tens of thousands of views on YouTube, in Nevzorov - hundreds, and in Khagi weight - millions! Moreover, it appeared only in October 2021 as the character of the computer gron-game of Popy Playtime, released by the American indie company. Huggy Wuggy - from English. to hug - "hug". That is, it was initially intended as a toy-toy.

According to the plot of the game, the protagonist, a former employee of the Playtime Co. toys factory, decides to investigate the mysterious disappearance of colleagues. There is no one in the factory, just in some places of blood puddles. In the hall stands a three-meter toy-hog in Khagi Wagi and smiles with a red mouth (as on the purchased Darmovis). In Khagi Wagie in his paws - the key.

You take the key and it allows you to get out of the safe VHS-Casette, which is told what happened in production. However, as soon as you start to look, you suddenly notice that Hagi Wagi disappeared from his place in the lobby of the company. He starts the chase of you, spreading his mouth . . . And he finds three rows of teeth, like a shark. If he is catching up, he hugs to death. Moreover, it can be chased even on ventilation pipes - it is a toy creature soft.

It turns out that Khagi Wagi ate all the workers. On the wall, his bloody inscription "Excuse me, but I'm hungry. " Why does he regret his behavior? The main werewolf of the game: a toy, designed to love, is a toothy insatiable monster. Video from Hagi Wagi was posted in Tik-Tok, and it was desperately assured. Then on YouTube appeared an animated film, which was about the history of the factory and the origin of the monster - the cartoon immediately exceeded 10 million views.

The cartoon stated that two hit toys were made at the factory: a beautiful, big -eyed puppy and a hug hagi Vagi. But in this production there was another secret goal - to achieve immortality in laboratories. (Yeah, fall into the "toy" infantilism forever. One of the employees was tempted by a career increase for participating in a secret scientific experiment. He was crossed with Hagi Wagi (in one version transplanted his brain into a toy).

The experiment was successful, but only the employee turned into a monster: he broke the door of his single camera and began to devour everyone in a row. That is why the factory is so empty. But Hagi Wagi is not alone - Poppy doll is also in one box. Moreover, according to one version, it is for all this nightmare, although it pretends to be a victim that needs to be saved. Hagi Vagi's plush toys began to be actively buying to make visors with them.

Some nonsense like "Khagi Wagie makes charging" or "Hagi Vagi Saddled Cat" simply recruit a million views and more. The female modification of Khagi Wagi - pink Kisi Marsi, and several other "relatives": Multicolored Lilly Millie, Orange Vanke Punk and more. They are now littered with all toy and souvenir shops.

The parents were alarmed, but psychologists reassured: after three to four years, Khagi Vagi is not dangerous-allegedly babies, on the contrary, learn not to be afraid: because Khagi Vagi "tames". Previously, the children were not afraid to fall asleep in beds with bears and wolves, and these are predators! It is interesting that the first spike in the popularity of Khagi Vagi and a number of articles about it appeared in February 2022-strictly before the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War.

After all, Hagi Wagi really symbolizes the development of relations between our countries. Despite the occupied Crimea and exacerbation in the Donbass, many Ukrainians believed in the remnants of friendship between our "brotherly" peoples. Moreover, Putin and Lavrov two months before the large -scale invasion of the Russian Federation in our country assured that there would be no war. But their "hugs" ended with a treacherous attack and an attempt to eat Ukraine.
