From ESRB.org:
MATURE
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexul content and/or strong language.
ADULTS ONLY
Titles rated AO (Adults Only) have content that should only be played by persons 18 years and older. Titles in this category may include prolonged scenes of intense violence and/or graphic sexul content and nudity.
The key word being MATURE. If you are mature you are mature... usually this happens by 17 sometimes earlier. Your parent/guardian can make that call.
As others have said this site is based on an M rated game. It and it's content (hosted or linked) will be of the same nature, Mature.
Per the ESRB definition this "sexul content" is not graphic, extended, or nekid.
IMHO Is is your job as a parent to make sure you don't walk in on your kid watching that.

I am 95% sure if your game doesn't have "-blam!- Themes" or "Mature Humor" you can't add that to the game itself, w/o being sued by angry parents, and angering the ESRB. If something like this had been DLC, there would have been, a big ass problem. You can't add extra stuff.... not already in the content descriptors.
However, this is 'online" and all online games state "game experience may change in online play".
Notice the "may not" be peoples ~ its the parents call if its an M game. If its AO, then yes its the parent's call, but only irresponsible parents make that call.
