@RossBarkan "The first shall be last and the last shall be first" so, uh, yeah it does work like that.

You don't get "moral" points for imploding at the end of seasons or just falling on your face in April and declining from there. You don't go to heaven because you lived through 2007 and 2008. Not how life works.

It's wild to believe one team is more moral than the others. NYM owner is literally a centibillionaire who should have gone to prison and is ramming a predatory casino down the throats of working-class Queens. Steinbrenners/Randy Levine are bad, but I'm don't live in fantasyland

Yes because choosing to root for the Yankees if you are not born into it is proof of defective character. This is less about "the gentrifier laptop class" and more about "anyone with a moral center would not willingly choose to root for the Yankees." I would personally be thrilled so many good and ethical people were moving to my city!

1) Conceding transplants are Mets fan. Glad again to be correct - I do not, in fact, get tired of winning.
2) Yankees and Mets can both speak to NY. But if the Mets actually summed up the essence of NYC, we'd be a C-tier sub-metropolis, barely 1.5 boroughs, failure.

to be totally sincere for a second, i can believe that transplants become Mets fans. but i suspect they do so because the culture of the Mets was more attractive to them, and part of the attraction was precisely that Mets fandom involves a greater degree of psychic commitment: the specifically New York character of loving something ugly, enduring inconvenience, and submitting yourself to one big collective neurosis. people who want to become New Yorkers, become Mets fans. And they're right to do so.

@RossBarkan More people like the Mets because the Mets (and their stadium) are more likeable - very astute observation!
English
The Mets fan base doesn't really send its best, so I'll explain my point as plainly as I can: of course, there are NY native Mets fans. Many, many. But if you are a gentrifier laptop class individual, pure transplant, the odds are you are a Mets fan.

@WanderlustShe @OscarRunnerUp It is a *visual* medium, but nice try on the metaphor.

@MovieNight3000 @OscarRunnerUp I’d rather have the brain of a goldfish than say any of those films were my favorite of their respective years. If you’re drawn to nothing other than bright flashing lights and colors, does that make you a moth?

If the five most recent Best Visual Effects winners were in the same category, what would get your vote?

@WanderlustShe @OscarRunnerUp Because you have the brain of a goldfish.

@MovieNight3000 @OscarRunnerUp Just because I pittied your generic taste doesn’t mean you occupy any space in my mind. I’d already forgetten your sad admission by the time you replied.

@WanderlustShe @OscarRunnerUp And I don’t think about you at all.

Frankenstein fans are in for a big surprise tomorrow night.
