There's people who use the word 'elitist' to refer to DMC fans who don't support DmC. That's not logical. It's not a matter of being 'elitist', it's simply a matter of preference.
As Wikipedia says:
Elitism is the belief or attitude that some individuals, who form an elite - a select group of people
with a certain intrinsic quality or worth, higher intellect, or other distinctive attributes - are those whose influence or authority is greater than that of others; whose views on a matter are to be taken the most seriously or carry the most weight... etc etc.
Let me break down this sentence.
1: There are some individuals who form an elite due to an intrinsic quality or worth etc.
2. That elite (or the people who know them) believes their views carry more weight than others' views.
The red part (point 1) does not apply. DMC supporters do not have an ''intrinsic quality or worth'' that puts them above others. DmC supporters as well as DMC supporters are people who at one point played and supported Devil May Cry in general. Both groups have the same intrinsic quality/worth. They are simply gamers. It may be that some DMC supporters
believe they have some intrinsic quality/worth that makes their words or opinions carry the most weight. However, that doesn't mean they actually do.
They don't.
For people to be elitist, they need to belong to an elite. If they only
feel like they belong to an elite, you can't call them elitists. And yet, people call DMC supporters elitists? Dafuq? I suppose they're large in number, but that doesn't make them an elite. If that were true, low to medium-wage working people would be considered elite.
All of this makes me wonder if DmC supporters think DMC supporters are smarter than them. Seriously, what's elite about them? Maybe it's just a misunderstanding of the meaning of 'elitist'.
