Found a cool world map art site… until I saw what happened to Delhi
Hey everyone,
So I recently came across this website called wplace — basically, it’s like a collaborative world map where you can draw over locations to showcase local culture, art, or anything creative. I thought it was a pretty fun and wholesome concept.
But… then I checked the Delhi section.
Unfortunately, it’s been completely vandalised. Instead of the cool cultural drawings people had made before (there were some amazing Hindu god artworks and other local-themed designs), it’s now filled with racist stereotypes and offensive stuff.
They made the Yamuna river brown, added Indian slurs, and ruined all the detailed cultural art that was there.
It’s honestly frustrating because this could’ve been such a nice space for celebrating different cultures, but some people had to ruin it.
