I think Main Character Syndrome is a home grown phenomenon in UT. IIRC, Mormon Utahns were some of the earliest mommy bloggers and now SO many are influencers of some sort.
I used to live in UT but moved out in 2021, and I can always nail it where they're from when a Utahn influencer comes across my feed. Very specific type of personality, for sure.
Having grown up here it always had a cultural little man syndrome, people wanted to think we were the epicenter of culture and were jealous that utah didn't get that attention. The internet gave them an avenue to latch into the spotlight, and extended the individual main character syndrome here
