If they’re completely serious about it, I agree. I think a lot of it is tongue-in-cheek, though. It also existed as a cultural thing long before online commentary platforms; I remember being a kid 30 years ago and hearing my parents make comments about “Massholes” driving.

I don't mean to imply it's a major issue, I just find it super strange because we're all American citizens and I've never thought about another person negatively because of what state they come from.

Just think of it as ribbing your sibling. We get on each others nerves. Tease eachother. But at the end of the day we’d be there if something went wrong. (Like after the last big storm it was MA linemen that restored my power) You can drive yourself crazy over the jokes but in the end that’s all it is.

Exactly! Thank you. It’s all in good fun and if you don’t get it, you don’t get it.
