Your Gay Uncle posted:Duncan Jones seems alot like Joe Hill ( Stephen King's son, uses his moms maiden name). He also went into entertainment but didnt really use his last name to do it. I'm sure it didn't hurt that he was Stepehn King's son when he walked into a publishing company but he didnt kick the door in and scream "MY FATHER IS STEPHEN KING PUBLISH MY BOOK". I'm a huge King fan and I didnt know who Joe Hill was until after his second book. If you think this man got any opportunity at the start based on meritocracy, i want what youre on.

How would nepotism help? Being an actor is such a difficult skill, requiring real talent and expertise in honing a craft that few people could even think of being capable of. Faaart

minato posted:I want the opposite of this. Like, I approach every self-checkout as a speed run. I want a discount based on how fast I can get the gently caress out of there. When I worked at a grocery store in high school, I had a small but devoted group of regulars who would always come through my checkout line for this exact reason. One couple even straight up told me, "We like you because you're fast and don't try to chat while you ring us out." It was the best moment of that lovely, lovely job.

I'm not saying that their situation growing up didn't help but there are genuinely talented people with famous parents . I just dont see anything wrong with going into the same field as your parents. The " nepo baby" take is that anyone with famous parents only got into show business because of their parents. I think nepotism should be when someone's parents or industry try to market their children with the hook " look who their parents are". Like a Kelly Osbourne or Jaden Smith.

That’s kind of silly, your focusing on the extreme version but the majority of that type of nepotism is a lot more low key than that

Yea, i agree that there are talented people who are the children of famous people, but they all took lessons and such to get to that level, most of which they probably wouldnt have had access to if they werent who they were. Not only do they have access to the best teachers, but they also have access to the best agents, to casting directors, etc.

Don't bet on it https://twitter.com/AlecStapp/status/1612458695824121856 It is funny how every tech hiccup that happens people start posting all their alternate socials and where you can find them I'm like, have you guys never used this site before Elon, it fucks up constantly? People were predicting that Twitter wouldn't survive the weekend after Elon bought it. https://twitter.com/fox6now/status/1612520926066647040 Literally no one in history has needed to log the gently caress off more than Elon Musk zoux has a new favorite as of 22:57 on Jan 9, 2023 |

Nepotism has always been a thing in every industry, but I think it's more noticeable in entertainment because you tend to know more about celebrities than like the president of Ford Motors. It's weird to pretend this new batch is somehow different than Peter Fonda or Drew Barrymore though.

I mean just because you benefited from nepotism doesn’t mean you aren’t talented. Nepotism just means you benefited from your family, it says nothing inherently about your skill level
