Nepotism in their minds is probably only in-regards to friends and family, or just family. Guess they need some updates or to look up the whole term.
Though, it may help that those guys doing the hiring don't even know the person.
They probably don't, and I made an error by calling it just nepotism, it is also cronyism and which it is varies from case to case and it can be both. And they probably don't think it is cronyism in any way either, and it does probably help because it allows them to maintain that mental illusion.
That's what killed the comics industry.
Parts of the entertainment industry is already in trouble for sexual favors in exchange for roles.
Indeed it was, I was already thinking along these lines to a degree.
And yes that is a similar problem, trading of sexual favors should probably be limited to other things that are less how would you say...corrupt. People are always going to deal in such things, if they have the goods, or if they have the means to buy them, or to a degree coerce them, but we can limit it as much as possible. I do wonder is simping in a sense the same phenomenon, except with the power dynamics flipped upside down?
