they do allow pornographic content but it must be inside their platform (the Game) and per Community Guidelines, it must be made on a private instance otherwise it's against their Community Guideline.

Thank you GorujoCY for your comment, i updated the content to be more precise by citing the source.

However I could not find any info that they do allow pornographic content whether its inside their platform or not, And i could not find any info that pornographic content in private instances is legal, just that its prohibited, with no specification or asterisk.

If you do please just add the source / edit the content.

Although im suspecting that you might got fooled by the loading screen text that tells you that nsfw content in public instances could lead to a ban. But you need to keep in mind that it does not mean that it is allowed in private instances, holds no legal value and therefore does not belong in this website. (this website is tosdr.org, not loading-screen-messages-dr.org)

One comment stated that the community guidelines disprove this. I added the quote from the guidelines to the analysis too, which happens to support my point. The quote is taken directly from the VRChat guidelines that are located here https://hello.vrchat.com/community-guidelines
