# Description

Reasoning:
1) Hugging your coworkers isn't necessarily always inappropriate, but
it's something that should take a bit more intention than it does now.
2) Event subs in this game right now still have no good method of
handling multiple subscriptions to the same event. The hugging event is
occupying 2 pieces of prime real estate - the empty hand interaction,
which is the most common, and the humanoid interaction, which is the
most common and most important. And for what? Spamming popups and chat
for something that could just be an emote.
3) Because of the above, it's too easy to accidentally hug people while
doing something else - the lack of intersectionality makes people just
ignore hugging because they assume it means nothing and was not
intentional. This does not lead to good roleplay outcomes.
4) I left the petting stuff on animals because that's much more common
and appropriate and you're less likely to be trying to do other complex
interactions with them. Also, since they're usually NPCs, it doesn't
matter if they get desensitized to the interaction as meaningless, or at
least it's out of scope.

# Changelog

:cl: Rane
- remove: Removed the spammable hugging on click. Consider using emotes
for this instead.
