"The Furry Elite"

[lupestripe]

At Eurofurence, I heard this phrase mentioned for the first time.

Does a furry elite exist or is it merely a perception?

Does it consist of furs who just happen to be good at what they do - be it performing, drawing or writing - and who are appreciated because of it?

Or is it just a term made up by some who are slightly envious of their current situation and who are desperate to be appreciated themselves?

I think it's a mix of ego (by those who feel they ARE the elite) and jealousy (from those who want to BE the elite).

Summed up perfectly methinks.
