I wonder if our popular culture has basically conditioned us to distrust community in general, and so we automatically have a visceral reaction whenever it’s portrayed in a highly positive light. Or really, portraying almost anything in a highly positive light is viewed with distrust. We’re a culture of jaded cynics now. An attitude probably incompatible with community.
