    You are getting downvoted for your wording I think but I believe it’s worth pointing this stuff out especially now that people are trying to “restore” the “meritocracy”.

    This one writer’s competency isn’t the question. The question is how many others won’t get a chance because this person already had a foot in the door.

      Even without a single “nepo baby writer”, many others wouldn’t get a chance for whatever reasons. Writing in general is such a competetive field that you’d be a fool to not use your connections and every possible chance in order to support yourself as a writer. And video game writers might even be first to lose their jobs to AI in the near future, who knows.

      A bootlicker doesn’t have the mental capacity to comprehend this concept…

      They have been conditioned since child hood to worship other people’s “success” without realizing the people they worship were put into these positions . they don’t understand that conceptually that’s how a class system works and their simping enables it.

      A nepo baby is peak class war… These people are the enemies no matter how “nice” or “good” they are.

      At the end of the day, a good job is a super limited resource that goes to nepo babies first then remainder is dolled out on “meritocracy” basis.

        Nobody is worshipping their success, she just did a good job on multiple projects. I never knew of her existence before, but I see some great titles and I see a pattern of a “job well done”.
