I also saw the original Chucky movie when I was a kid at a slumber party. I spent a lot of time helping my friend's mom make popcorn.

Fast forward to my early 20s. A friend's 5yo found a Chucky doll at the thrift store. Oh, the poor baby's hurt! I want to take care of the baby and make it better! So her mom buys it for her and she took it EVERYWHERE. I gave that situation sooooo much side eye, I was not ok. The 5yo had zero idea of the context and loved that "hurt baby". My friend made it clear to us that we couldn't explain it to her.
