No way to contact BGA to complain about inappropriate ad?

Post by FredegarB »

There's an ad on the main page for the Kickstarter game Elements, and there's a pretty inappropriate image of a woman with a completely see-through top, nipples quite visible. I was under the impression this is a family-friendly site.

The only reason I'm posting here is that I tried to contact BGA, but I couldn't find any way to report it or even send a message to BGA staff. The contact page, frustratingly, doesn't actually give you a way to contact anyone about any issue that doesn't fit into the pre-approved categories.

I didn't see the ad, but when I check the kickstarter page it might be about the woman in the green dress with swirly markings on her chest?
It's not see through, but the pattern is indeed suggestive.

I had to enlarge the image to see what you are talking about. Even then I'm not convinced if it's actually see-through, or just the design of the dress that is like that.

Sure, now that I'm aware of it, the pattern is indeed visible from afar, but I think it's weird if you see something like that and your mind goes to "naughty see-through", rather than see it as an artistic design reminiscent of women's breasts.

I just looked on the KS page and have no idea what lewd image you mean.

Do you mean Metamorphs on this picture here? https://i.kickstarter.com/assets/053/44 ... YgmQa8Y%3D

That's not nipples. That's a pattern on her top/dress that just happens to swirl around the nipple area. It's not showing any nipples, and the drawn-clothing looks to be completely opaque.

A see-through top is not "family friendly"? Are we living in the year 1880?

From what I can tell, it's literally not even a (cartoon) of a see-through top, it's literally just a (cartoon) woman with a top/dress that's made of completely opaque material and a swirly pattern.

If there are people who are so invested in taking down this type of imagery on a family friendly platform, I also hope they are giving much more energy into taking down all the violent content that exists on video game platforms supposed to be "family friendly". Wait, they probably aren't...

I don't agree with OP on the shirt-matter but it actually IS difficult to use the contact page you mention to actually get in contact. There are too many dead ends.

I.E. on OP's issue if i wanted to contact you about that I would among the 4 top subjects choose

"website" --> then i have to pick between
.....account access
.....translations

or "other" --> then i have to pick between
.....contest a moderation
.....technical issue
.....business inquiry

So there is just no option that fits. Not even anything remotely connected. And without navigating further in, one cannot enter/send any text.

I think you should add more options to get in contact about matters that you maybe didn't think about when you created that support page.
