Protip: If you’re developing a hangman homebrew DS game, make sure that you do not depict what looks like a black man with a noose around his neck hanging from a tree. The only way this screenshot could look worse is if the programmer added a crowd of bedsheet ghosts by the tree and a burning plus sign in the horizon.

I don’t believe Tassu, who entered Hangman into Neoflash’s Summer coding competition, set out to present this insensitive scene. His home country of Finland, as far as I know, doesn’t share the U.S.’s embarrassing history of lynchings, so the thought likely never crossed his mind.

Lord Graga’s homebrew GBA game Klan Wars, however…

[Note: The mystery word in the above screenshot is not the original text; I photoshopped that in.]
