Even if you don't think/know that you have [disorder] (or even if you know you don't!) you're allowed to use coping strategies meant for or associated with that disorder. You can use ADHD tips for your poor memory. You can stim even if you're not autistic (stimming has a lot of overlap between disorders honestly). You can use chronic fatigue tips if you have depression. You're not stealing resources. If it helps you, it helps you, whether you were the target audience or not
This is so embarrassing I...
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.
