City is a mirror. Most see depictions of tranqulity, comedy and community, and all they feel compelled to do is smile. To contribute to something they enjoy.
Some, these modern day Einsteins, see something they don't understand. Seething for months, struggling to comprehend how someone could enjoy something so simple - some find their answer; after all, there's nothing in this world they don't understand. The solution? Make jokes at its expense, build a facade that proves anyone that dares to enjoy it is undesirable, mentally deficient, wasting their time.
They're smart, after all. They know if they don't keep the act up, they'll have nothing left to answer to the time they spent.
