A modified map of Toronto showing descriptions superimposed over downtown neighbourhoods is generating quite a backlash from locals, but its creator is speaking out over the deluge of angry comments.
However, it was an update to the project in early October that set off a firestorm of comments and quote tweets slamming the project.Among the names added for neighbourhoods, the map notes the "condo d*ck measuring contest" that is the Bloor-Yorkville skyline and even sneaks a dig at blogTO into the Entertainment District.
Lily defends the work in a statement to blogTO, arguing that "most negative responses come from people believing that the map is finished, and I'm simply ignoring the east end, Midtown, the Junction, etc." "Other responses were a lot more hostile though, such as accusing me of being from Hamilton or Barrie, saying that I just moved into a U of T dorm last month, etc. Others accused me of racism by not including Scarborough, or by labelling Chinatown as '70-year-old Chinese ladies.'"
