Miitomo's photo mode has obviously gone horribly, horribly wrong

Nintendo's first mobile game, Miitomo, is now out. It's a whimsical mix of friend stalking, outfit chasing and breaking into people's homes to stare at them while they're not around.

Among the conversations, mini-games and other activities is a photo mode where you can pose and caption your Miis against in-game and added backgrounds. Obviously, that's immediately gone all sorts of wrong and admittedly I'm not helping:

I think the caption explains everything. #Miitomo #MiitomoStyle https://t.co/Cnp9AGlXHt pic.twitter.com/70RcxF19kKMarch 31, 2016

Probably a career highlight there, but seriously that cat took fucking ages to win from a pachinko game. However, I'm not the only one taking Nintendo's cutesy photo mode and doing weird, unexpected or horrible things with it. Let's take a look shall we?
