It doesn't matter if your 18+ content isn't sexual, you have still rated it as more mature than the game's legally intended audience and SE can, rightly, ask you to not use PF to advertise content above that age limit. Legally, in fact, they might very well have to. Recall that this is the same game that can only have minor depictions of blood and has previously had to outright manipulate cutscenes they wanted to do (like a soldier being shot with an arrow I'm fairly certain is an exact example Yoshida himself gave) because the legal rating of the game made those depictions inappropriate.
This is already protected by their statement: "Online interactions are not rated."
