So everybody hates the proverbial hipster from midwestern states like Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota (among many other) NYers are coastal elites and the idea of people from middle america that bring their middle america ways is terrifying.
However, there are transplants from other metropolitan enclaves on the west coast and cities in the northeast from DC all the way up to Boston.
Why are these hipsters off the hook? Are they not as annoying or maladjusted to the anti-gentrifier as Susan that grew up eating cow and cheese curds?

Short answer is that they're coming from other major cities. Not a suburban or rural setting, so people with similar backgrounds tend to relate to one another better.

People from metropolitan enclaves on the West Coast or the East Coast are mostly from the suburbs. The OP is asking why aren't people hating on people moving in from Jersey, CT, Oregon, Washington, California, Pennsylvania, Virginia or Florida. These people move to NYC in big numbers.
Most transplants aren't from suburban middle America, that's a myth
Most people in real life don't seem to hate transplants, but they keyboars activists talk about them all the time
The keyboard activists who rant on and use the term transplants the most are first generation Americans, so it's not like they have any real claim to NYC. You don't have that mentality, and I know you're a very open minded person.

Everybody just does what's convenient for them. So now it's ok for a transplant to call themselves a New Yorker, but I've lived here forever and it's a crime to call myself a native. Whatever.

Susan eats cows? Like, not even steak, but an entire live cow? Or even an entire dead cow, just uncooked and with all its hide. Susan's got talent.

I only hate people from the South. Midwesterners are sort of ok by me. I think I'm a transplant though so that might have something to do with it. It's been so long I can't remember.
