    Fortunately, I haven't seen anything that'd suggest he is. And being a nepo baby doesn't suggest it in and of itself either. Meg's just pissy because "the little people" are pointing out that her son had access and opportunities that 99.9% of us don't. He had a leg up on everyone by the circumstances of his birth, it's just silly to try and handwave it away and pretend he got there purely on merit.. It is what it is.

    To what end are we bringing it up though?

    Is there a point, or is the only point to degrade the actor in some way?

    I feel this is one of those situations where I can say 'You aren't wrong, but you're an asshole' if you are bringing it up without a greater reason.

    I don't think the dude would be ragged on for taking advantage of the opportunity afforded to him.
