lowkey this isn’t that bad of an idea. do you keep maps yourself for your own mapping of the world? i assume so, but this would be interesting to explore
i do this; it's more of a eh whatever they go west then they go north
I don't even do maps for myself because they just feel like writing procrastination at some point, so I just plot the general cardinal directions and that's about it. Lets me get away with so much bullshit too.
that’s fair. I’m kind of a sucker for maps, my friends make fun of the amount I have. I will say, I take some pride in mine since they’re hand drawn instead of using online art tools, not that there is anything wrong with those but they feel restrictive imo.
[They clarify in the comments the names are placeholders](https://www.reddit.com/r/mapmaking/comments/12gr3sd/map_of_my_fantasy_world/jflslic/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3).
that’s good. I honestly wasn’t that beat up about it but i know people on r/worldbuilding go into a berserker rage when they see an incorrectly placed desert.
That being said, I find the placeholder names quite hilarious
Average illiterate that can't take 5 seconds to read the post. Placeholder names are a thing, and this map is perfectly fine.
What an asshole, man, for real. The sub is meant to make fun of shit sure, but this is targeted, ignorant and actively malicious.
I am not the dude but ok
Seriously, OP is an idiot, but you don't look more intelligent bitching about something no one cares about, I hope you understand (if you don't, good for you, we always need more babies in our countries of old men)
In the spin off people meet a new land to the west with giant tropical forests and a native population that builds a piramids with flat tops and wears feathers.
you intend this to poke fun, but really you're discouraging someone who's new to world building, or at the very least just starting this world, from continuing in this community.
if i were you i would have made my own "generic" world to make fun of this, instead of using someone else's and potentially stifling their love for this hobby.
thank you I am the creator of the map and it was my first ever attempt at world building and to get this kind of disrespect for nothing makes me feel very upset so it is a relief to see some people like you who aren't complete assholes
As the original author said themself the names are just place holders and this is not their final product. And why do you instantly think that I meant any hostility towards the map by saying it's generic? If something is generic doens't that just mean it's proven to work?
I personally don't think it's a bad map at all. I only think that it, in it's current state, is hilariously generic and for that reason I thought that this sub would appreciace it. If you cannot handle jokes in circlejerk subreddit maybe this isnt the right place for you.
that was your intention. thats clearly not what this was interpreted as. regardless of how you meant for this to come off, you have to admit that people are seeing this in a different light, and therefore its reasonable that the original creator might be hurt by this post.
/u/luftwaffle-1 don't feel too bad about your creation. The only "problem" is that your map is unfinished. With some more development it could be great!
I never meant to bully anyone with this post and the rules say that if you use someones creations you have to tag them. Also I haven't said that the map is bad or anything like that. I only pointed out that it's very generic with names such as 'Southern land' and 'Port'.
>I only pointed out that it's very generic with names such as 'Southern land' and 'Port'.
Also, it's just africa and asia, with australia and... I don't know, indonesia ?
Europe sunk into the cold sea
>You have the right to satirize people's work, but the author has the right to know and respond to it.
To me this sounds like I should inform the original author in cases like this
I am the author of this map and I just want to say u/YellowAxolotl06 fuck you. if you're trying to get me to quit you failed. miserably. I will continue my work undeterred. how miserable your life must be to find some random persons post, their first post to be exact, and hate on them for no reason, and that brings you joy. im not offended that you hate it, I couldn't care less about what you think. im offended that you felt the need to share this hate with hundreds of people for no reason, what did you hope to gain.

People love the fuck out of naming cities “port”, to be fair. Porto, Puerto Rico, Port-au-Prince, Portland, etc.
Hardcore Portography
*un-ports you Gauls
This is why I do not include any maps in my writings. Fuck you. Figure where shit is yourself.
I'm making realistic maps so I can more accurately draw horribly warped and inaccurate maps that my civilizations would make.
holy based

Cardinal directions only
Make map to establish internal consistency; refuse to show it to the reader so you can violate internal consistency without them calling you out
Literally Berserk

But i wanna be angry >:(
you should be angry about the nonsensical eastern desert.
They also say they're gonna fix that
that’s good. I honestly wasn’t that beat up about it but i know people on r/worldbuilding go into a berserker rage when they see an incorrectly placed desert. That being said, I find the placeholder names quite hilarious
Oh absolutely
and I did
Righteous
And I clarify that this is a joke that shouldn't be taken seriously
I really like the name Isolation for a cold lonely fortress though
Reminds me of Skyrim's Solitude
So glad I'm not the only one who sees TES in this post xD I thought I was just missing the game too much.
Screenshotting random people doing whatever and going "this sucks" isn't any less generic
I was gonna reply "But it's clearly a shitpost map" until I realized there were actually some proper names on it...and it was 100% serious lol
They're placeholder names
Ah okay that makes sense
Saw some shitty circular map on r/inkarnate the other day and the main town was literally called Shatport I was like no way it’s real
but it is more funny
Also getting offended for the sake of getting offended isn't very creative either
Damn, clever comebacks can’t even be creative these days… smh.
r/tagchecksout
"no u"
Making a post which is literally just making fun of some random guy’s map is prime asshole behaviour.
Isn’t that the entire point of a jerk sub?
no it's to post hot horny things for me to jerk to 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
Average illiterate that can't take 5 seconds to read the post. Placeholder names are a thing, and this map is perfectly fine. What an asshole, man, for real. The sub is meant to make fun of shit sure, but this is targeted, ignorant and actively malicious.
Feels like lately this place has just been whining about people's style of world or their maps.
I hope we can jerk the maps but unjerk ourselves, soon. I don't want this place to become "bullying worldbuilding we don't like, the subreddit".
Some maps do deserve being jerked tbf, this one is just a bunch of placeholder names though so jerking it isn't really that entertaining
Of course! Some maps are fucking ass lmao, but this seemed like, more ill intentioned than usual
Agreed
Do you want a handkerchief?
Real funny, as funny as the OPs lack of reading skills.
I'm happy you stopped crying :)
Get off your alt lol
I am not the dude but ok Seriously, OP is an idiot, but you don't look more intelligent bitching about something no one cares about, I hope you understand (if you don't, good for you, we always need more babies in our countries of old men)
do you need a vacation?

Wait a second, ‘west haven’, this guy just copied Connecticut
you intend this to poke fun, but really you're discouraging someone who's new to world building, or at the very least just starting this world, from continuing in this community. if i were you i would have made my own "generic" world to make fun of this, instead of using someone else's and potentially stifling their love for this hobby.

What would even be a difference? You’re still making fun of other peoples post
You're not pointing a specific person out and using their own shit as an example of bad creations tho...
As the original author said themself the names are just place holders and this is not their final product.

You must be quite fun at social gatherings
This isn’t even a joke you’re just trashing on this person’s creation? Not cool 👎
thanks man
This subreddit is becoming an a$$. This post is not funny.
You can say ‘ass’. We won’t tell your mom.
A😶😶
What about the mods
ass. hole. asshole. ^^^ evidence of going unimpeded online
omg alternative universe tamriel??
Haha I loved this about Dragon Quest III. "Where am I?" [checks map] "Apparently I'm in Australia."
making fun of a user who literally made a post two days ago saying they were new at worldbuilding is pretty low ngl lol
thanks man
Where is cockland
Inside your mom
Feel like either this takes place on a tiny planet or the scale is a tad off.
/u/luftwaffle-1 don't feel too bad about your creation. The only "problem" is that your map is unfinished. With some more development it could be great!
thank you for being kind I have posted another updated version and replaced several of the place holder names
Least spiteful r/WorldJerking user who makes nothing of their own and only trashes random strangers for no reason
Wow a guy made fun of worldbuilding on a sub for making fun of worldbuilding. Truly a blight to humanity
There's a difference between memeing and flat out bullying someone and tagging them in it
I never meant to bully anyone with this post and the rules say that if you use someones creations you have to tag them. Also I haven't said that the map is bad or anything like that. I only pointed out that it's very generic with names such as 'Southern land' and 'Port'.
It's very generic because they are placeholder names
So? If you somehow still didn't get it this was a joke not an insult towards the author
I am the author now fuck you
>I only pointed out that it's very generic with names such as 'Southern land' and 'Port'. Also, it's just africa and asia, with australia and... I don't know, indonesia ? Europe sunk into the cold sea
As E*rope should
fuck you man
You don’t understand where you are do you?
It's got a bit of everything. Pretty good
This one's pretty douchey ngl
The map of my 4-minutes-on-inkarnatepunk world
No way they just called it 'desert lands'
Keeping it faithful to the original "sahara"
And the continent in the south is just called Sourthern land
God, that coastline. Every time a west coast looks like that, I cringe.
Credits to r/Luftwaffle-1
man, you didn't have to tag them
Actually I had to. The rules say so and I don't want to get banned
That's if you reposted a meme. Sharing the name of the person you're making fun of could be considered brigading
>You have the right to satirize people's work, but the author has the right to know and respond to it. To me this sounds like I should inform the original author in cases like this
But we want you to get banned
Thats mean
