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».

Alberta - I love me some mennonites, but they are really into 'keeping it in the family'.

Alberta is the Texas of the North, I think Sask is more Alabama / Arkansas.

Until I moved here I thought having a swastika on your truck would mean you'd find it on fire the first night you parked near other people.

So what you're telling me is that Jordan Peterson is inbred...

That explains a lot.

Nah, Alberta is the Georgia. Saskatchewan is the Alabama :D

Gotta agree, went to Saskatchewan for a cousin's wedding.

Guy had a confederate flag truck parked out front

I don’t know what non-Americans think of the US state of Georgia the way I know about their Alabama and Texas views.

Why Georgia?

If you want to go province by province, BC has Bountiful BC home of a bunch of fundie LDS members that marry and breed with their daughters.

Nothing more backwards and family fucking than the fundie LDS.
