>Meg Ryan Defends Son Jack Quaid Of Nepo Baby Label: That Nepo Stuff Is So Dismissive Of His Work Ethic
>Child goes into same career as their parent
Why does this trigger leftists so much? It's been the norm throughout human history. Plus there's almost certainly genetic components related to acting that male children of actors naturally better actors anyway.
why do cuckservatives like to lick nepo babby boot?
I'm not a disgusting actor or writer so why would I care?
Because you’re a disgusting incel
>seething leftoid has no friends or family he hasn't ostracized that can help give him a leg up in life
Only the poor rage out, having no family business of any sort to go into rankles
Only morons like you seek to dismantle meritocracy
Do you support a 100% death tax or do you oppose meritocracy?
>all wealth must be acquired through labor
moron
>Parents passing genes on to children is anti-meritocratic
>Parents passing money on to children isn't
Children of actors don't succeed because of "acting genes". They leverage their parents connections and influence while everybody else grinds for years for shitty bit parts.
>he doesn't realize that meritocracies always end up as oligarchies due to the merits of the ancestors wanting what's best for their descendants
>he doesn't realize that's how aristocracies were also made
Read Robert Michels
That's not even true. Most generational wealth is gone within a century, and smart dudes impregnate dumb hot bimbos literally all the time.
>not true
It's literally coined as the iron law of oligarchy. Those merited in society are granted more opportunities and wealth than those less so and such would create a system that would continue to benefit not only them but for their future generations. It's how monarchies and the ruling classes emerged, via being the stronger "more merited" military leaders. Meritocracy ALWAYS brings about an elite class of oligarchs, aka an aristocracy.
>It is estimated that 70% of wealthy families will lose their wealth by the second generation and 90% will lose it by the third.
What you're thinking of is how those rich families keep their families rich by altering the social structure to create a higher class that excludes others from similar positions of power and income
What I'm saying is that meritocracies are a fricking dream that needs severe and authoritarian restrictions to be put in place that would defeat the point of rewarding merit in a societal level in the first place.
>What I'm saying is that meritocracies are a fricking dream
Obviously a pure meritocracy is impossible due to the abundance of confounding factors, but there's no better alternative.
Elitism. Just drop all pretense of being a fair and equitable society and fast track itself to its natural conclusion so everyone can start producing to the best of their abilities.
>Elitism. Just drop all pretense of being a fair and equitable society and fast track itself to its natural conclusion so everyone can start producing to the best of their abilities.
More like figure out who to kill since you have nothing to lose anymore. What you're suggesting produces a society that chooses to destroy the limiting factor since it's worthless.
Benevolent dictatorships exists.
Just depends how meritocracy you're trying to be. Big difference between "only these families can go into politics VS anyone can try
>only these families can go into politics VS anyone can try
That argument is that distinction is pragmatically false. Anyone CAN try, but would it be feasible for them to? Of course not. So what you get are the Roosevelts, Kennedys and the Clintons in politics.
There are no outsiders in politics? It's all family based? Or is it the small minority of politicians that are descendants of other politicians?
How about for schools, is there no distinction as well?
It naturally gets divided into classes. Outsiders, even if they do get in, do not rise as high as ones who already have an ancestral foot on the door. Hell, this is even a thing in universities and education, it's called legacy admissions.
I think you're missing the argument, things can either be more or less meritocracy. Unless you genuinely believe it's all a ruse and every country is equally meritocratic. Do you believe all countries have legacy admissions? Public education was not even a thing in the past, if you're smart and lower class you were shot out of luck unless you find a way to subvert the laws. If you're smart now you'll just get free money and invited to a bunch of schools
If you were smart and lower class you enter into a guild and/or be a apprentice to your family work while also creating connections there. The latter would be classified as nepotism in this day and age. Things SHOULD be more or less be meritocratic but frick meritocracies.

Probably because acting is implicitly about not how good you are, but how you leverage personal connections to find work. Being born with connected parents is a golden ticket. You don’t even have to try, you just show up at an audition and they’re all
>oh hey, you’re Meg and Dennis’s kid. Yeah sure, I owe your mom for getting me my start, so I guess that’s alright.
They don’t have to work as hard to achieve the same results because their parents, grandparents etc. have done all the hard work for them.
It's because the difference between a "good" actor and an "okay" is marginal
Yeah but this happens in literally every career field, ever job, everywhere, all the time, constantly, nonstop. But people only b***hing about this one specific job because it's the only one visible to them. It's just dumb as frick.
Because you need skill or training to do most real jobs, acting is 99% about connections and once you have them you don’t need talent. It’s so obviously different, and you people are moronic if you really need it to be explained.
Acting is a public job, that's why it's more in the spotlight. But you can compare it to women's privileges. They have so many, and to deny that still is just laughable.
>child only has career because of parents
It's quite literally the definition of nepotism. His skills as an actor don't matter at all since he got his start solely because of his parents. Meg Ryan is just a washed up c**t who can'
t accept the truth.
>Farmer's kid becomes a farmer
!
>the barriers to entry for a farmer and Hollywood B-lister are equal
moron.
These days to be a farmer (in my country at least) you need to have a shitton of capital and land to make a profit so yeah, these farmer's children literally inherit millions...
Most countries subsidize the frick out of their domestic agriculture for strategic reasons. Otherwise it would be impossible to turn a profit
It's different when the career at issue is one of extreme privilege where you stand to make multiple millions of dollars and only a very select few are ever able to land the big roles. No one is clamoring to be a fricking farmer and barely scrape by. But you have Hollywood elites securing privileged positions for their children in a field that is already near impossible to get into
Not them but that's entirely natural whose only solution would be putting in an immoral law that the parent should disbar their children from inheriting the fruits of their labour
I'm not advocating for any law. I don't care that much about any of this tbh. If you're Hollywood royalty and you're going to do this, however, at least acknowledge and admit what you're doing.
>Not them but that's entirely natural
It's actually not. For example, in sports most famous athletes have sons who never even make it to the big leagues. This is because, when looking at just their merit (ie their stats), they don't cut it. No amount of nepotism helped Michael Jordan's sons get into the NBA.
BUT he was in a better socioeconomic position to do so compared to some random kid in the ghetto. And his sons did play college ball. They just burned out and became fricking philanthropists or some shit.
>BUT he was in a better socioeconomic position to do so compared to some random kid in the ghetto.
Idk. Every public and private school in the country has athletics, so theoretically every student has the same chance. Maybe their name helped them make varsity in high school, but it never translated to a professional career for either of his sons because they just weren't good enough.
Athletics is not the same thing as a learned skill anon.
>Athletics is not the same thing as a learned skill anon.
homie what?
Also the natural I was referring to here is not so much genetics (which do play a factor but not much) but more on parents wanting their children to good in life so they impart with them their wealth and wisdom of the trade.
we already have laws several places that makes you unable to appoint friends and family to significant positions. imagine if biden made his son vice president, is stopping that immoral?
nepotism is not about inheritance
>nepotism is not about inheritance
That line is blurred, especially for the private sector. Direct appointment is not the usual way for nepotism by the way, it's usually about putting the good word in for your certain relative to get connections. Bribes and such are rare but do happen.
I thought the right was all about meritocracy and making something of yourself, and maybe they are, but then there's morons like you who will take any contrarian position just to argue with the leftist commune squatting inside their autismal brain.
It's not about that, it's the fact they are given many more chances and opportunities than "normal" people, which is fine because life isn't fair, HOWEVER if they pretend it's their "work ethic" that's when you need to call bullshit. They just need to take the L and move on, but they go argue which is what enrages people.
You and other people don't understand nuance. It's legitimately both. Imagine just dismissing and reducing someone's entire career and work into being a "nepo baby" their entire life. It's moronic.
People without actual talent gets trumped by nepos, unlike in the old days, where a blacksmith might inherit the smithery to his kid, he also let aprrentices learn the trade and increase the work output to benefit everybody.
Actors rarely take such mentorship approaches to randoms that they don't know.
>It's been the norm throughout human history
your point? how does that make it not shit?
>Plus there's almost certainly genetic components related to acting
lmao you just made that up
>parents teaching a profession to their children is bad because.... it just is okay!
who are you quoting? that's not nepotism
is it not
>t.
>Plus there's almost certainly genetic components related to acting that male children of actors naturally better actors anyway.
Are you really suggesting that either of these three people are good actors? And you're suggesting that acting ability is genetic? Haha.
Dumb b***h needs to read a dictionary.
It's Hollywood, everything is neptosim and cronyism
>Hollywood actors having "work ethic"
Why would his name not be Jack Ryan? What a missed opportunity
Because his father is fricking dennis Quaid?
Who?
The lesser of the two Quaids. Randy has been acting circles around him since Midnight Express.
Who the frick dis is?
No one gives a frick about nepotism in Hollywood versus the business world because in the business world the bosses incompetent son can be put in charge of a lot of people's livelihoods, whereas Meg Ryan's son will get co-star billing even though he's probably a middling actor. BFD
He's fricking garbage though and he has a terrible Hollywood face. RLM calling him a nepo baby might be the one thing they were right on for years.
>RLM calling him a nepo baby
They didn't
Rlm calls them "legacy artists"
what, they didn't at all they were defending him. Mike almost started crying about it kek.
What the frick are you guys talking about? When did this conversation happen?
>RLM calling him a nepo baby might be the one thing they were right on for years.
>RLM trannies trying to rewrite history again
Mike Stoklasa called him a legacy actor and defended/shilled the Nepo Baby.
Kill yourelf
>they used to make stuff like this before capeshit ruined everything
it was great
who's RLM?
Maybe he does work hard, but that doesn't translate into talent. He plays the same person in everything he's in.
Suggesting nepotism had nothing to do with his career is so dismissive of reality.
These people churn out fantasy and propaganda for a living. Reality is whatever they say it is.
I mean is he even any good?
Daily reminder this is what happens when the mom goes batshit insane and divides the children against the other parent
Dennis Quaid votes red but you can tell this little smug homosexual is a mommy's boy
and with one picture, we reveal the REAL reason Cinemaphile chudsters are flinging shit about this, but not Maya Hawk.
>actor
>work ethic
NGL it’s gotta be tough working out with a personal trainer everyday and following the dietician’s mealplan cooked by your private chef while maintaining a strict skin care regime. Sometime it’s cold on set and they have to pretend it’s not. Or you have to walk and stop at a certain place (called “hitting your mark” to get technical, and you have to know these things too) How do they do it?
PRAY FOR JACK.
he fricking sucks
Out of all the nepo babies in Hollywood, he's one of the best. There's this girl one too, forgot the name, but I didn't know she was a nepo baby until that one article dropped. I don't think there's anything wrong with being a nepo baby, you gotta actually offer something in return, though. People wanna follow their parents careers all the time. It's honestly sweet, again, as long as they can actually perform.
It is very cringe for his mom to be the one defending him. She's not helping at all. Tell him to show the people why he's working, not this...
>The holywood elite are simply genetically superior so it's okay!
>t. Mike Stoklasa
He is a Nepo Baby.
I don't know, he's fine and does a good enough job in whatever I've seen him in. Regardless, yeah, he seems like the type of guy who would've been nothing more than "the wacky funny one" at his accounting office or game development studio or whatever the frick if he didn't have actor parents.
Why do people give a shit?
because it actively lowers the quality of stuff you watch, nepotism is about your position over your actual worth
shit actor with famous daddy (who's a friend of the producer) gets picked over less connected actor with more talent
i swear im not trolling, but is it nepotism when alex kurtzmen has his shitty writer friends ruin Star Trek and then when the project inevitably fails he re hires those same writers for round 2? Because if it is im now GIGA ANTI-NEPPO
most people wont give a shit if they are actually good at their jobs. the problem comes up when they have all those connections and they keep getting these roles but they suck ass at their job. thats when people start questioning things.
this guy is one of the worst cases of nepotism in my book, he absolutely cannot fricking act and ruined fargo for me
>not posting the superior offspring
I thought that was the guy on ncis for a few seconds
Nepotism is really problem in politics and big business -- things that impact the highest amount of people. Acting and art is subjective so nepotism is not as much big of a deal there. The real problem is actors should not be getting paid anywhere near what they get paid because they are completely non-essential and that money could be used to save lives.
I hate his face, he is so fricking ugly
>Nepo Baby
Shut the frick up with your modern terms for made up bullshit.
>WAAAAH FEEL BAD FOR THIS CELEBRITY’S KID THAT MAKES A LOT OF MONEY
It’s funny how hollywood shits on middle class people for being privileged but immediately start crying when people suggest their shitty kids are too
>Nepotisms their kids into lucrative careers, pushing out the lower class
>NOT ENOUGH!
>Arranges for Ivy League Schools to accept their kids, guaranteeing them good connections and expensive degrees
>NOT ENOUGH!
>Strikes for MORE money
>NOT ENOUUUUGH!!!!
I work at the same company as my mummy IRL. Problem?
is it a multimillion dollar company?
>haven't said anything since quaid got outed as a nepotism fraud
>haven't said anything since HBomberguy exposed them for stealing content
It's over for RLM
>get called "nepo baby"
>mum defends you
>boggles the old noggerino
he's fricking the big nosed brown cutie, living the nepo life, good for him
