Both men and women. Is it to do with the way they smile/pose for the camera or something? Seriously, I can almost tell someone is American by the way their neck looks in a photo

Car culture is huge in the United States. Most folks I know drive everywhere even if it's only a mile away. Add fast food drive-throughs like McDonald's to this and you get obesity and thick "necks".

I remember when I first saw Project Graham. I thought it was so cool and immediately homebrewed it into a human subrace for my D&D campaign.

This guy has literally no neck, not a fat neck. He can't look over his shoulder because his skill is attached to it.

Your mum's skill is attached to her shoulders lmao

Her ~~skill~~ skull is attached to her neck, not her shoulders.

Alright, that one took me a second, but I'm keeping it.
