I hope everyone can stay constructive, respectful, and on topic! For me?
I take pride and care in how I RP, and in how I craft my character. That said, I am constantly listening to my peers and keeping an open mind to seeing things from a different viewpoint, and to learning more.
Elitism to me is those who think they know all, who think their way is the only/best way, and who refuse to listen, compromise, or attempt to constructively work with their community. 'Elitism' often rears its head most around new rpers, who are simply trying to learn, who are a lot of times nervous enough as is, and who, yes, make mistakes. So what? Did we never make mistakes when we first started out?
New rpers have to be open-minded to instruction, established rpers need to be patient and understanding that learning the ins and outs of telling stories together takes time and clear communication. Thus, 'elitism' and OOC drama is avoided.
