I find it hilarious that Hentai is so readily read in the bible belt. Also, didn't know the west had such a hard-on for NTR. Though that might explain some things.

So I guess Wyoming is the state that never sleeps now since they rank higher than NY.

The term "Cuck" alone has found it's usage sky rocket over the last year or so. I assume NTR also skyrocketed but not really my field of expertise. That specific thing was just based on searches though, so it could just be people wanting to know what it was.

Project-H included a caveat with the infographic, stating "Hentai fans were overwhelmingly present in Trump-voting states and the bible belt."

Perhaps there might be more Hentai readers in North Carolina than I thought...Interesting, to say the least...

Going by the old axiom "Where men are men and sheep are nervous" possibly PETA and the judicial system stepped in to protect sheep and certain other 4-legged farm animals. All that testosterone has to get redirected somewhere else now........

Missouri: lol. Rank is higher here than college football. Go, Tigers!

I get the feeling shotacon is their favorite genre in those areas,I wonder why...

I just want to mention some points.
1. They probably getting all the data from their sales and website stats.
2. If number 1 is true, the graph doesn't include everyone who exclusively pirate their content.
3, If number 1 is true, a graph from Fakku might feature different info.

Given the fact that NTR has become a meme on /A/ on 4chan I don't find it that hard to believe that it would come in at five Tentacles coming in at four is surprising though as I honestly that became passé. It doesn't surprise me that the Bible Belt states have a big showing.

People who've seen a map of Europe? (hopefully that's in jest).

@Kougeru the ones who use that abbreviation (far right wingers, though generally just the white nationalist ones) mean it in a negative way so I'm not sure in increase in the use of that abbreviation is related to the relatively high placement of NTR.

Otherwise it is as expected. Uncensored is number one for obvious reasons. Vanilla's high ranking doesn't surprise me either. While I didn't expect to see Paizuri, it doesn't seem out of place (aside from the amusingly almost over clinical description). While I don't find it agreeable, I can't say I'm surprised to see tentacles here, given it is probably one of the first things any random person on the street or internet would associate with hentai, along with school girls.

This list doesn't surprise me at all and besides people in those states probably have nothing better to do than watch Hentai. Laughing

I bet most of the people consuming it aren't hardcore christians. Just a guess. Even in the bible-belt states, there are plenty of people who just happen to liver there, and aren't into whatever their state is known for.

Good going, Estonia. Never thought to see that country at number 1.

Hisasi deserves to be ranked btw. Great artist.
