Can I work in a legal adult industry during my PR process

I have already obtained my CSQ and submitted my PR application, as a former filmmaker it has been difficult to find a film-related job in the industry during the pandemic. Recently I received a nice offer as video editor but it's for a tech company that is operating some porn websites. If I do accept this offer, will that affect my PR application?
Given that my PGWP only says I'm not allowed to work for a strip club, massage etc, I assume that this job will not cause any legal issues but will it, under any circumstances, affect the immigration officer's personal decision on my application?
I haven't accepted this offer yet, thanks in advance for any reply.

Never seen a PGWP saying that. It's only a condition for csq application. Moreover, Your designation would be a video editor which is a tech job or would you be also giving a guest appearance in the movies? If you got csq and have or haven't got a job it doesn't matter in QSWP as long as you have valid status if you are inland.
Hope this helps!

Bro, thank you for your reply, that does help a lot. Well, this position or the company itself have nothing to do with the shooting, they just operate some porn website, as the editor I'm not even responsible for editing any porns...I will just be editing their promotional videos. My only concern is if the person who decide on my PR application might have some prejudice on this company or this industry...but with your answer it doesnt seem likely so thank you.

Agree. Uber eats and skip the dish are getting tough as well. Hard to make minimum wages even. Gain experience here and jump over when times are better. My friends first job was as an accountant for a porn (he also likes to call it adult entertainment) company. He's moved on to a senior accountant role at a University now. Gotta make the move buddy.
