I think I agree with you on some level. In a classic professional context, I too would deem a naked girl picture highly inappropriate and unwelcoming to women.

I think I agree with you on some level. In a classic professional context, I too would deem a naked girl picture highly inappropriate and unwelcoming to women. However, an agency's website can be a somewhat informal place. Depending on your audience, mildly inappropriate stuff is useful to show that you are different and not for everyone. If you look at the website as a whole it seems to make sense here. I think this is more an emanation of a vintage geekish culture than some "bro culture".
I guess I'm just very tired of people always getting on their high horse when something might be offensive to somebody. Some things are worth being indignant about, but most of the time it's just not worth it and diluting your point.
It's the kind of thing that makes me defend things I'm against just because I dislike exagerated self-righteousness.
- TheZenPsycho 13y agosomething different about them like, they will ruin my brand with immature casual jokes about rape? Please understand, I'm not pointing this out because I'm outraged or offended. I'm pointing this out because this is a contact form meant to attract customers. this is business. their business is marketing and branding, and the message they're sending with their website is that they are tone deaf, when it comes to what is appropriate for broadcasting a general audience. Appropriate in the sense of: Can I trust these guys to take care of my business's image? For me the answer is a resounding no.
