"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?

A furry elite?



:P

Joking aside, r_a_blackpaws probably said it best, there's little to add.

I used to play this on my BBC-B. Infact, I still have the boxed game complete with maps somewhere. I think that's going to be the next thing to bring over from Kent!

More on topic, it is a bit of both. There are furs out there who choose to only interact with those they think are worthy of their presence - true elitists - and there are plenty of others who use the term out of jealousy.

Me? I couldn't give a rat's either way. Nothing that happens more than 2 miles from the beach is of any great conscequence. Unless it's a tidal wave.

They really don't make computer games like that any more? To be honest, computer game died for me in 1996 - everything before then is largely superior to the modern day stuff. But then I am probably in a minority with that one.

You are right in your assessment, I feel. I know a few fanboys who are desperately clamouring to be accepted and then I know a few of the elites who look down on you (and have looked down on me in the past) because of the fursuit I have, for who I am etc etc.

Lols :)

I agree, he put it rather expertly and succinctly. I guess it's all down to the individuals involved at the end of the day - either on the subject or the perceiver.
