On the subject of popufurs....
12 years ago
To my friends and watchers,
It has come to my attention that there are many, many, many furries out there who wear the title of "popufur" with pride. Usually, these people are ... actually very horrible people. They're popular for the same reason stuck up bitches and prigs in high school were popular. They're obnoxious douchebags who talk about people behind their backs and it's almost always easier to get into their beds than it is to get into a church on Sunday morning. These people don't deserve any attention from any people at any time.
There are, however, certain popular individuals in the fandom who actually deserve their popularity. People who work hard at what they do and reap the benefits of people who enjoy what they do and don't ever dare let them stop. People like Uncle Kage or 2 the Ranting Gryphon. Or if you think those two are too obvious, people like Blotch or Syber at MadeFurYou. These people are certainly "popufur", but I don't consider them to be popufurs. I would never dare group them with those prom king and queen rejects.
My friend DJ Wicked Wolf and I decided to come up with a whole new term to differentiate the popufurs who don't deserve attention from anyone from those who actually HAVE a human soul. And the word we came up with is "furlebrity."
Now we can, with ease, say that popufurs are awful wretches who are going to die alone without worrying about including furlebrities who actually deserve the praise they're getting.
And if someone out there says a furlebrity doesn't deserve attention either, the person who's saying it is probably a popufur!
I'm Samhain the Dark and with that I bid you farewell.

the problem is that the few who abuse it happen to be more highlighted than the ones who just are fine on their marry way.
People pay more attention to the dramatic news of these situations rather than the normal or positive sort.
There are people on here, through DA and maaaany other places that love the artist all before they hit 1000 watchers. On 999 it's "oh I love their art, so nice". Then they hit "1000" and suddenly it's "They're so stuck up, the snobs! -Super mega frowny face.-
So the term gets irritating reallly, realllly fast when you have to be stuck in the middle.
