Hi everybody, my girlfriend showed me a Tiktok about manga authors adding unnecessary incest plotlines to their works and I thought immediately “They are from Monterrey” (we are from Mexico).
I remembered that the States have a similar joke about Alabama and I started wondering if other countries also have a state or city associated with people who are, for some unknown reason, attrated to their cousins.
Here in Mexico there even is a kind of saying for these people «A la prima se le arrima».
as someone in the united states, this “alabama is the backwards hick place for dumb yokels” thing is pretty annoying and classist.
Also, historically that’s way more of an Appalachian (and especially West Virginian) thing. Isolated mountain passes meant that for some families, they were the only people for miles. The Deep South is mostly flat plains and swamplands, thus they had less incest.
What’s your go to, Mississippi?
Kentucky, personally. Incest ran so deep it turned that one family blue. The fugates IIRC.
Or Misery… I mean Missouri.
You don’t
You’re right, there’s backward hicks and dumb yokels in most of the rural US, not just Alabama.
Alabama has some good shit, people just like to scapegoat

I dunno, Iceland’s right there with their dating apps that specifically make sure you aren’t related.

Kinda necessary when your population is less than 400,000.
Go back not that far, relatively, and everyone living there (who isn’t a immigrant) is related in some capacity.
I guess they’re OK with being just a little bit related. Like just a skosh.
Sweden’s response:
Sweden and Denmark have a bit of a history, so I’m not sure what to believe: https://satwcomic.com/nordic-brothers
Me, I only tell the truth.

New Hampshire/backwoods Maine.
New England does not consent to being considered a part of the same country as the Bible Belt/Florida.
Jokes aside, New Hampshire is known as “The South of the North” for its very…“conservative” political stances.

Sheppey…
They got webbed feet over there
Skellefteå is the Alabama for Sweden, and most of Noway and Denmark too. However, for the whole Nordics, we have Iceland. The whole country of Iceland.
Apparently there’s a phone app that lets them know if they’re related or not.
