It would be very helpful for my understanding to be able to see this content.

I can understand being curious, I'm curious too.

But it's hard to imagine any circumstance that would make TikTok support's responses seem reasonable in context. They're claiming a right to remix your stuff (where "you" are a paying customer mind you) without your knowledge or consent, and then to disseminate that remix at their discretion.

The specifics of how they altered this ad are almost incidental by comparison.

It's wildly unreasonable either way, but the specifics,

In the seemingly AI-edited version, the main character June (center in the image above) is depicted alone, but the image extends down to her ankles. She is depicted with a bikini bottom, impossibly large hips and thighs, and boots that rise up over her knees, seemingly invoking a harmful stereotype. This is extremely distinct from June's actual depiction in the game

Seem like they do make it worse. People seeing this are going to assume the game publisher is guilty of false advertising and/or having really poor taste. If they had instead only adjusted the formatting or lighting of the ad or something it would have been less egregious.
