I don’t know why I’m so damn triggered by this state’s shape, but it provokes in me a deep, primal rage that no other state’s shape even comes close to provoking.

Like…what the hell even is this thing?

It’s like someone took twenty other states, threw them into a pile, and then just traced the outline of the pile and said “LOOK IT’S A WEST VIRGINIA LOL”

Or it’s a square-butted frog.

Yes, the rational part of my brain is aware of the fact that West Virginia is shaped the way it is because its borders follow natural features like rivers and the like.

But the irrational, West-Virginia-hating, “there are only 49 states and they all have aesthetically pleasing shapes” part of my brain refuses to be pacified by this knowledge and flies into an UNBRIDLED RAGE whenever I see this freaking state and then vehemently denies its existence.

Ugh.
