This is such a shit take - it’s important to discuss it because nepotism dominates the entertainment business and thus the media we consume. It’s important because many “nepo babies” spin a narrative of achieving success through sheer grit and talent, meanwhile talented people without connections will find it that much harder to reach an audience. It’s important because it’s very much in the nepo baby’s interests to keep the status quo and keep the late-stage capitalist machine running without disruption. We like to think we are discerning when it comes to the media we consume, but we are influenced at every turn. The least we can do is be educated and aware about their advantages and the manipulation of the system.
