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».

    North of France for, well, France.

    Remote mountainous regions for Switzerland because besides fucking their cousins, they also lack oxygen with the high altitude.

      I always thought it was corsica. What part of the north? More towards brittany or Lille? Or normandy more specifically?

        Lille, what we call "Les ch’tis" so the 59th department.

        I don’t feel like Corsica is considered inbred but maybe because they are noisier (wannabe independent and former terrorists) and probably because it’s a beautiful sunny vacation area.

        North doesn’t attract that much tourists even if it is in fact a cool area. That might change with the yearly heatwaves.

          lmao theres literally a movie about someone from the south being stranded in the north

          https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1064932/

          It's kinda funny to me that anywhere in france could be considered the sticks. You can't go 5km without some kind of a town or village. Relative to apalachia or the rockies it may as well be manhattan.
