In Russia, we crush vital organs when hugging.
Bear Hug publicity blurb

The Bear Hug is a community-created special taunt for the Heavy.

When activated, the Heavy invites other players over by patting his chest with both hands twice and extending his arms to the sides. When another player accepts the taunt, the Heavy grabs and raises them into a hug. If the other player is also a Heavy, the other player grabs the initiating Heavy instead.

Any other player (including bots) can accept the initiator's invitation by standing in front of them and pressing the taunt button (default key:   G), regardless of team or if they own the taunt. Other players see an icon above the initiator's head indicating that the taunt is active, and players seeing it for the first time also receive a tutorial-like prompt informing them of how and where to accept it. The taunt cannot be initiated if there is insufficient space for it to be performed, such as a map height difference or obstacle in front of the initiator; trying to do so causes a message to appear on their HUD informing them of why they are unable to taunt. The initiator can hold the inviting stage of the taunt indefinitely; pressing the taunt button again or jumping before another player accepts the invitation ends the taunt instantly.

For the voice lines and animations of each class, please refer to the respective class taunts articles.

The Bear Hug was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
