A number of people lambasted the feature on Twitter, claiming it would "shame" and even "trigger" those with eating disorders.

... Are they serious?

Lorenz also claimed that using pink cupcakes as the unit of measurement was "lowkey aimed at women."

ARE THEY SERIOUS? How sensitive are people nowadays?

What about people like me who walk and keep track of calories? Some of those running apps have terrible maps capabilities and Google Maps is waaay better, especially if it tells you ahead of time how much you'll burn.

Liberals have become the enemies of progress.

Tin foil hat victim complex aside, updates like that are annoying. If I wanted to track calories, I would use a fitness app and not Google Maps. The purpose of that app has nothing to do with calorie tracking

As The Hill's Taylor Lorenz noted in her tweets, there was no way to turn off the feature.

Just a thought, but perhaps if they'd given people a choice it wouldn't have been such a big deal

Most fitness apps have terrible map features. I know because I've used several for running. Having it integrated on Google maps, where you can see the calories burned on a route ahead of time is superior.

I just can't for the life of me understand why people complain about having too much information. Why do you care if it shows the amount of calories? If you don't want it, just ignore it... seriously, I don't get it.

Because software that tries to be an all in one solution usually end up being shit or annoying to use when there's not an alternative. Software bloat is a thing

Seeing that they didn't even have the foresight to make it an optional feature also doesn't inspire confidence that it was a well thought out feature

Because liberals increasingly hate facts and reality. They're so fucking far gone they think people will get fucking triggered by an app displaying a few numbers. Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of people are dying each year from obesity related causes.

This if you're looking for some halfassed reason that sounds like you're struggling to make a remotely coherent point

Or my post based on something that anybody familiar with software engineering has been taught and repeatedly warned about since forever because people/companies still think "this time...will be different!" I guess you guys are big fans of the direction ITunes has taken over the years, rite. And it's still some mystery why a book like "The Design of Everyday Things" still remains on reading lists despite it being first published almost 30 years ago

Ban people who aren't fat from going outside because seeing someone in shape might trigger someone's eating disorder

EDIT: Real talk though, and this isn't for just google, but why do so many apps keep adding features that you can't just turn off? Like Twitter's "show offensive posts" thing - I don't give a fuck if someone says "ass," don't make me click an extra time to show the bloody post.
