In response to "Is hangman a racially insensitive game? -- (link)" by Mop

It's not, and I get the winking humor of the question, but (nm but ... I don't know, trigger-warning thoughts inside)

I've had some pretty serious sit-down talk sessions with other parents who have lost children to suicide.

One was the mother of a son who hanged himself. He was found, by his Father, in the son's bedroom. They both still work actively in church, but have asked that whenever they are helping with a children's activity, to not play the game hangman, because it leaves the Mom feeling like she's having a heart attack from the anxiety and grief.

So ... I think there's room for people to be sensitive about things. There are other word-guessing games.
