"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?

bit of both really; you get those who ARE elitst, and those who are accused of elitism by those who are jealous of popularity.

And then you get those who people perceive to be elite but actually, those people don't feel that way and wish that people wouldn't make so much of a fuss of them. I guess every situation and every individual is different.
