Okay but... are we gonna make fun of them for this? No, seriously, if they're happy and nobody's being hurt, what does it matter to any of us what they're doing? Besides the sign, I mean.
Also, there isn't even a way to tell if this is real. Sure, it could be, but chances are high someone took a picture of a couple that look kind of "white trash" from who knows where, and just used it to create outrage/superiority-circlejerk-bait.
Average folks don’t take a pic, edit it to make some text space on top and then write the whole story there. If this was like a Twitter/Facebook post with the text in the post caption then it would be more believable.
I have zero interest in becoming poly, exploring the idea, etc. it doesn’t appeal to me at all. But from a sociological standpoint, it’s very interesting to me personally to consider the dynamics of those relationships and to understand how they can vary from person to person, group to group.
I don’t have any experience with that community but I promise you that painting with a broad brush like you’re doing is wrong. You don’t know this individual. You’re assuming the worst without ever engaging in conversation with them personally. Unless you do know this person in which case I apologize.
the implied cheating, the implied having kids you can't afford, not an obviously sound strategy for successful family building leading us to believe they were both accidents instead of planned family creation.
the implied having kids you can’t afford:
they are in front of a trailer home, usually not a sign of economic success leading to having multiple kids you can afford to raise through your own income. Also, grammatical errors.

Do you see many families being created by someone impregnating more than one sister at a time in a family? Are those stable family units creating loving homes for those kids?
Trailer homes can be a very affordable path to homeownership. In rural areas it's not an uncommon choice to find a plot of land and plop a manufactured home on it. They don't have the same kind of staying power or value that a site-built structure would have, but it opens the possibility of getting some land and a home separately, especially if you buy an old one that needs some work and move it (and even moreso if you can do some or all of that work yourself)
Living in a trailer suggests more wealth than renting at least
That's interesting information. Now, out of the population of people living in trailers, what percentage are doing it in order to achieve the plan you laid out, and how many are doing it because of abject poverty?
And how many of those are out there impregnating sisters in succession before the first child hasn't even been born yet?
As soon as I saw the photo, my eye caught “sister” in the text and I assumed the worst. Was pleasantly surprised at how little incest was involved here.
While we used to call Panama City - LA, for lower Alabama I'd guess this is from Kentucky or Alabama. He's wearing sleeves and sleeves are forbidden on men in the Panhandle
We used to call Panama City the "Redneck Riviera", but I grew up in FL. The panhandle is most definitely closer to "Lower Alabama" in hindsight. Funny enough, we did call the other part of north Florida "South Georgia".
NO STUPID PEOPLE PAST THIS POINT
That's why they're standing outside.
Fuck.
Yep, that’s how we got here.
Nice!
Good thing they are before this point

That's sort of what I wondered the first time I saw it. There's no real evidence that the caption matches the picture.

Some people like scat and vomit play. I think this case is ok
Absolutely.
Why?
It amuses me
Please mind the community you’re in.
It's a shitposting community, I'm sincerely not sure what your point is.
Posts here are not meant to be taken seriously.
Oh, I thought she was his sister at first.
Gonna be fun for the two sisters raising their kids alone after that dude goes out in a meth lab explosion.
At least he'll die doing what he loved.
Their other sister?
They never outright said that she wasn't.
Alright I'm gonna try this hereditary math...
So these kids will have the same dad, making them at least half siblings.
Their moms are sisters making them first cousins.
So what are they like 3/4 siblings...?
Notice how he's not looking at her or at the camera. That's because he's already checking out the third sister.
"Your mom kinda hot ngl"
or just making plans to leave permanently
You can't blame the man, everyone has a right to go for the hat trick
He seems to be looking at the camera
That hat is approaching triangle
A Gothic arch.
I think I’m watching the wrong tiger king episode…
I am poly, so, I have no troubles with this. As long as they keep separate bedroom action, I don't see the issue
Lukewarm take: If they consent, they can do what they want, and share the bedroom if they would want that.
I would have an issue with it, personally, because related. But this would be my personal limit
Maybe it’s just me but I feel like an AMA from your perspective as a poly individual would be very interesting, as long as folks were respectful.
I am open to such an AMA. Any place on lemmy where this would work?
This is the one I’m most familiar with:
[email protected]
No, it is a very unhealthy community that lies to outsiders trying to make it sound like the paradise it will never be.
There are so many layers to always have to peel with poly groups.
They are almost always young and it never lasts.
Just do yourself a favour and avoid those thought virus'.

I go with normal expectations, and have enough experience to know, this is a good generality.
On an individual level this can change, but the main pattern persists outside of an individual basis
It can be unhealthy. But, it truly depends on the people and their reasons for doing it. You can't just blanket apply statements to people.
But you can to groups of people
a lot of monogamous relationships don't last either, buddy
Very true, but also not relevant
This comment brought me to: yes, there should be an AMA!
Srsly, polyamorous relationships are a complex beast. And no, they are not better or worse then other relationship models. They are just different.
Lol they are definitely worse for mental health overall.
Says who? Do you have some quantifiable proof, studies, or is this just the same old " i don't like it, baaaaaaad " bullshit?
Why separate bedroom action?
I mean, it's a situation that usually results in drama, but of everyone involved is cool with it, good for them
Is this a serious inquiry?

There is literally nothing in the image implying any of that. That’s something that you yourself are implying.

Love the sign!
Were they just kicked out of that establishment behind them?
Haha, they must have been!!!
Hate when my sims come to life
Did they get kicked out for being stupid?
That guy looks like quite a catch! Congratulations all around!
That expression. "Don't worry ladies, there's enough of ol' Skeeter to go 'round."
Im glad DJ Qualls found love
Honestly, I was expecting worse from the post seeing at that pic. Oh well, I guess there aren't that many guys in her town, lol.

The ol' incest triangle.
Is this a Florida pic? I feels like a Florida pic.
Probably Alabama
We'll compromise and say Florida panhandle, which is probably generally worse than either :)

The more I read it, the more messed up it gets.
My sister and I had enough trouble sharing toys, crayons, or the TV remote without it becoming a whole big fight.
Love the sign in the background.
It sounds like he’s being a stand up guy and supporting his sister.
