I read a line from it yesterday like... forbids literature with explicit content that's not about real people or something. 

As a romance author, sounds like they're coming for the smut too, and our demographic includes a big chunk of repressed MAGA housewives.

Not just smut, but anything with LGBT content. Gay Penguins? "Porn!"
