this is true for everyone but it’s worth repeating — Femme lesbians don’t need to shave any part of their body if they don’t want to. they are still Femmes. this is still true even if they’re trans women; and also applies for facial hair. you are perfect and lovely the way you are. body and facial hair is not unfeminine.
i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls
Reblog to make a white gay big mad

Please reblog, this is so important.
Spread this far and wide, my pretties.
As a poc myself, I am SO happy I've finally seen someone point this out. I know some who draw sapnap/skeppy with these palettes might not see anything wrong with it, but it isn't right, and is easily offensive.
A good chunk of skeppy fanart I see that isn't of his minecraft skin, is pale in comparison to his actually tone. And I mean extremely pale to the point where I don't even recognize it's skeppy. Why is he getting whitewashed? If you're going to draw Zak, draw him as he is, not as you envision. Yes, sapnaps mc skin may be a little darker than average, but that isn't what he looks like. We all know what sapnap looks like. We all know what skeppy looks like. Why aren't they being drawn accurately? I saw a dream team fanart the other day and when I tell you sapnap was dark, he was DARK. He almost looked a shade lighter than me, and I'm by no means the lightest person in the world. I know it might not even seem like that big a deal, and while it's getting somewhat better, people of color are Constantly modified to appeal to what looks "better" or more "natural", yet when it's done to the opposite race, it's creative and a fun drawing exercise. It isn't.
I guess the thing I'm trying to get across is, please please just draw people right. If I can look at a photo and not even recognize the person bc they're a whole four shades darker/lighter than they should be, fix your art. I just wanted to get this off my chest, as it's something I fume over almost every time I see their fanart. I just think if you set out to draw art that shows off Nick, not sapnap, and Zak, not skeppy, make it look like them. You aren't drawing their skins. You're drawing a real person.
anyways, there’s a difference between not wanting kids, not wanting to be around kids, and being a hateful little imp who creates a personality on hating a living creature on the basis that they need care, attention, and are not capable of expressing themselves in a way that would make that care and attention a little easier. it’s not cute, it’s not funny, and it directly affects the way children are treated, which affects how they view themselves as they grow up.
treating children as a burden is evil, point blank period. a child can never be a burden. they have no choice but to depend on their caretakers or they will die. if you don’t want to have the responsibility of taking care of a child, don’t fucking have kids. don’t agree to take care of someone else’s kids. don’t go places where kids are welcome and frequent. unlike them, you have a choice where you go, who you hang around, what you do in your day to day life.
children are experiencing the exact same world we are with absolutely no reference for what the heck is going on. to treat that as an imposition on others is an act of abuse, at the end of the day, and it definitely makes you a bad person.
