Hands Which Cannot Write

For erotica writers: PLEASE READ

— via Khayri Rednaxela Retsaoroz

May kilala ba kayong mga authors at publishers na naglalathala ng mga books na immoral? (Hal. mga "family stroke", BDSM, bestiality, necrophilia, o mga erotica na puro sex lang ang focus).

It's actually prohibited by Philippine Law.

As stated in R.A. 3815 and R.A. 10951 Amended Revised Penal Code of the Philippines, Article 201:
Immoral doctrines, obscene publications and exhibitions and indecent shows - The penalty of prisión mayor or a fine ranging from Twenty thousand pesos (₱20,000) to Two hundred thousand pesos (₱200,000), or both such imprisonment and fine, shall be imposed upon:

"1. Those who shall publicly expound or proclaim doctrines openly contrary to public morals;

"2. a. The authors of obscene literature, published with their knowledge in any form; the editors publishing such literature; and the owners/operators of the establishment selling the same;

"b. Those who, in theaters, fairs, cinematographs or any other place, exhibit indecent or immoral plays, scenes, acts or shows, it being understood that the obscene literature or indecent or immoral plays, scenes, acts or shows, whether live or in film, which are prescribed by virtue hereof, shall include those which: (1) glorify criminals or condone crimes; (2) serve no other purpose but to satisfy the market for violence, lust or pornography; (3) offend any race or religion; (4) tend to abet traffic in and use of prohibited drugs; and (5) are contrary to law, public orders, morals, and good customs, established policies, lawful orders, decrees and edicts; and

"3. Those who shall sell, give away or exhibit films, prints, engravings, sculpture or literature which are offensive to morals."

Base sa Artikulong ito ay pinagbabawal din ang pag-glorify sa mga characters na members mafia at gangs sa mga kuwento na isinusulat natin sa Wattpad.

Pansin ko lang, yung mga bagong usbong na publishers ang kadalasang naglilimbag ng mga aklat na may ganiyang mga tema.
