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».

I was gonna say Queensland. But Tassie actually does get the most Alabama type jokes.

Tasmania for incest, north Queensland for rednecks, NT for weird fucked up "Florida Man" antics.

Yeah I think you've got it right. But then what this suggests is the ridiculous idea that a very large proportion of the country is sucking on lead paint chips, fighting roos and fucking their sister. But we did have a vote recently that actually confirmed that, so... Maybe it's not ridiculous

I mean I'm just basing that off stereotypes. I've met some absolutely lovely north Queensland people, dated a Tasmanian for a while despite not being related, and I'm not completely convinced the NT even actually exists.
