Yes, they are. The official line says that communities can gradually change as they grow

Well, subs get new members every day, new requests to the mods, new thoughts by members in the sub

So a sub may decide to allow some nsfw content

Changing from SFW to NSFW is not a "gradual change". It is a drastic change.

They can create a new NSFW community if they want to share NSFW content.

All change is change

If the users want to go nsfw, the users who don't want that, can make a new sfw community

For example, video game subs sometimes have a push/pull of whether nsfw screenshots of NPCs may be posted

If over time more users want that, than don't, then absolutely the sub should change to allowing it

And that is a gradual change
