This image was downvoted in the Image Suggestion thread. Other ideas?

Opened...I thought it was pretty good.

I genuinely did not think this image was a Morton's Fork when first looking at it; I thought the "Don't do it" option meant "Don't do the thing that is obviously a trap (i.e. the other option)".

If I try to interpret it as a Morton's Fork, then I'm guessing "Don't do it" is a warning instead of an action, but there's just enough ambiguity there that I was confused.

What's behind the "Don't do it" path anyway? What's the videogame called?

[up][up]The game is Miitopia. While I've played the game, I've never encountered a fork with those specific options, so I'm also curious if "Don't do it" means "Don't fall for the trap" or "Don't go this way", since the former wouldn't be an example of this trope.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

The clock's up and there's no consensus on what to do with the pic. Locking up.
