I was born in USSR, so I know a fact or two. But I also know that there’s a long line of shitty people who have power before you get to the ones who sit at home and type something.
You did, because nepotism is shitty, which means that from your point of view, Terry Pratchett used his power (?) to put his relative on multiple projects, where otherwise someone else would work.
Nepo baby implies someone who’s there only because of who they’re the child of. This is more old fashioned having connections and knowing the right people because your family moves in those circles.
Having Pratchett as a surname surely gets your foot into the door but it doesn’t get you short-listed. Her track record does that.
True nepotism would be her getting hired by someone because the hiring company wants to get into good graces with her father so he’ll bestow them some boon. That won’t work for reasons ranging from Terry not having that kind of power over him not being that kind of asshole to him being dead.
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”.
Nepo baby?
Yeah, because writers have so much power in this world!
Hollywood is staffed by nepo babies like finance, medicinr, law etc …
That’s how this shit works.
You want to know a fun fact… USSR worked the same way lol

Nobody suggested that the subject is a shiti person…

Some serious mental gymnastics on Herr lol
Bootlickers gonna bootlick
I know what you mean but it seems like she earned her credits. She’s been constantly putting out great works.
So we got a competent nepo baby… I guess it could worse like our dear leader so I should be grateful.
At least she is no a lebron James son who can’t dribble worth of shit
What on earth are you on about?

Not in this case. She’s… very talented. 😊

And this folks what a class war looks like in nuts and bolts type example
Remember next time they preach to you about this “meritocracy”
