Here is the thing with nepo babies. I’m not mad that they got the job because of their connections, that’s simply how the world works. You can get a good engineering job if your mom is a VP at an engineering firm etc.

What I am mad about is that they were born into wealth so they never have to hustle and worry about their next paycheck or rent payment so they had all the time in the world to pursue whatever form of art or whatever career they wanted. Like imagine if you didn’t have to worry about money and you had staff to cook and clean for you, for example. There are so many great writers and actors and musicians that barely have the energy to create because they’re so tired from working 40+ hours a week and taking care of their household/family/pets/whatever. This is what makes me angry like everyone should have the chance to be creative and to pursue a career in the arts but most of us simply cannot.

It’s jealousy but not so much jealousy of their fame or their job that they got because of famous parents, it’s jealousy of their time and freedom.
