No way to contact BGA to complain about inappropriate ad?

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...

You can always contact us using the /support page. The link is at the bottom every page.

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.
