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».

Southern Jutland for the redneck backwardness and incest/zoophilia, the island of Lolland for the rural poverty and hopelessness.
Saskatchewan.
Everybody gangster till Kashmir walks in.
For the Netherlands, Urk. Which I always thought sounds aptly like orc.
Or Volendam. They all look the same and have 1 of 5 surnames.
Uruk. They just forgot the second “U”
as someone in the united states, this “alabama is the backwards hick place for dumb yokels” thing is pretty annoying and classist.
What’s your go to, Mississippi?
Or Misery… I mean Missouri.
Kentucky, personally. Incest ran so deep it turned that one family blue. The fugates IIRC.
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.
You seem fun.
You don’t
Alabama has some good shit, people just like to scapegoat

Thanks!! Gotta read it later on desktop, for some reason the link breaks the app I’m using
Doesn’t open in Jerboa either, but I am able to copy paste it.
I’m using Jerboa, too and when I click the link, I can’t open with Jerboa, but I can open it in a browser

Pretty amazing how the answers are so similar.
Skellefteå in Sweden.
Kerry
This is probably super localised but Kinloch Rannoch in Perthshire, Scotland.

I’ll have no other lover…"
