Eh, Hippie has nooses but for the most part they're left unused except when someone wants to kill themselves or hang somebody. It is possible to cut someone down though and stop them from dying with a pair of wirecutters, which I've been apt to do on Hippie because I like saving people.
That being said you can get pretty morbid with nooses, and there's probably racial connotations with hanging that make it more offensive to goonstation, at least when it comes to American History outside of criminals in the wild west getting hanged for murder and bank robberies or whatever.
I don't really care strongly either for or against nooses, and I feel like the electric chair is an more comical substitute. Plus it's harder to actually build because you need a sec helmet, which means rude people can't abuse it.
I think if you want to go morbid but less racial, perhaps being able to build your own stake would be better, since you can kinda do the same thing already with a stack of paper, a chair, and a pair of handcuffs. Inject somebody with thermite and you can burn all the suspected wizards you want.
I think OP's insistence on realism in hanging is weird though, possibly even creepy.
