Hello, can you use GameMaker 2 to make games with sexual elements? I'm sure I have seen developers use the engine yet the user agreement states that,

"Do not do or say anything which is or may be considered threatening, abusive, obscene, racist, xenophobic, sexist, defamatory, pornographic, sexually explicit or otherwise offensive or illegal. This includes masked words (---), acronyms and abbreviations."

What do you think?

The link below is the User Agreement, I am looking at "6. Prohibited Actions"

Well... legally speaking, no. But I doubt that YoYoGames will try to enforce it. Unless you try to publish/advertise it on their site. (Which probably won't be the case)

So... if I were you, and creating a hobby free game, I'd continue the development, what could they do against you anyway? Charge you?

Now, if you plan on creating something more big/professional/commercial, and want to advertise it without fear of legal actions, I'd chose another engine. My first engine was GameMaker then I migrated to Godot Engine and I'm happy with it.

I seriously doubt that they legally can enforce those limitations if you have bought their tool. You usually don't have the right to set any limitations for use when people purchase software. If that was possible, I'm pretty sure that any American software company would do it, including Microsoft.
