Gaiman is such an odd dude.

He meets famous people just to have his picture taken with them. I remember he showed up with Weinstien in the Hayao Miyazaki documentary and the first fucking thing he does is ask for a picture. I think it's his way of networking. He thinks googling a person will bring up a picture of them with him.

The Gaimans moved in 1965 to the West Sussex town of East Grinstead, where his parents studied Dianetics at the Scientology centre in the town; one of Gaiman's sisters works for the Church of Scientology in Los Angeles. His other sister, Lizzy Calcioli, has said, "Most of our social activities were involved with Scientology or our Jewish family. It would get very confusing when people would ask my religion as a kid. I'd say, 'I'm a Jewish Scientologist.'"

Haven't seen the doc, but Gaiman was part of the translation of Princess Mononoke. He didn't translate it but had some hand in the final dialog of the English translation, so he was directly connected to the release of the movie in a very direct way. I think he's even credited on the movie poster.

Well here's a picture of Hugo Award nominees. But that's just the surface. Every time you find an absolute piece of dogshit and ask "how the fuck did these feces smeared on paper get published?" it only takes a quick Google search to find one of the following: daddy is a literary agent, established author, or owns a publishing house, like Christopher Paolini and Joe Hill. The author had an industry/political in, like writing propaganda for Gizmodo or Jezebel like The Nostalgia Chick and a bunch of other authors whose name I wont type because fuck those people, they are subhuman, but you can look them up on their clickbait fake news websites if you're really interested. Then there's nepotism among jews from New York, a problem so longstanding even Truman Capote wrote about it a century ago. It's impossible to find someone who writes children's picture books who isn't jewish, even today.

Pick any author published these past ten years, look up their bio, and there you'll see nepotism laid out in spades.

>> No.23197142

>>23197130
Often the nepotism is a sort of institutional neologism. They went to to this or that college for their MFA, they worked at this or that publishing house, that kind of thing. The easiest way to get published nowadays is to have an MFA from Brown, your pronouns in your Twitter bio, and with an anti-fascist novel in hand.

white women are one of the least likely groups in america to date interracial

go outside, stop basing your opinions of stuff on jewish cuckold porn

(while we're on the topic, the whole point of that racket is a degredation fetish. first its anal, then its five guys at once, then they sink to the lowest possible level: black people. this constantly increasing degradation gives coomers the illusion of change, when if threy were paying attention, they could have just downloads 10,000 or so titty pics from the internet years ago and been done with the whole thing. anyway though in real life most women dont do anal, dont fuck 5 guys at once, and most especially dont have sex with black people.)

Starting to hate how nepotism is becoming a "gotcha" word. It's just like randos calling anyone they don't like a racist, pedo, rapist, sexist, or homophobe so that they can win an argument through public virtue signaling.

There are good examples of nepotism and bad examples of it. It's a natural practice, ofc people are going to take up their parent's trades of skillsets and ofc they are going to use connections, friends, family members teachers, coworkers within the industry to reach success. Journalist, with no prior connections to publishing, using networking throughout their carrer to get their first book published is not an example of nepotism btw. Who cares about Steven King's son writing career? It's inconsequential, literally not affecting anyone else, that's a good example of nepotism, he writes a half way decent story and doesn't have to spend five years shopping it around because his dad can all in a favor, what ever. Bad nepotism is some snot nosed, spoiled, brat getting a management job at his dad's construction company and everyone else having to pick up the slack to make sure shit gets done right and on schedule and that structures don't crumble away and kill people five years down the line.

The place I sell plasma to still doesn't allow gays (or as they call them "men who have sex with men" as a catch-all because non-whites often have tons of gay sex but deny that they're gay) because such an extreme percentage of them have at least one disqualifying disease that it's a waste of time and money to even test them. That was the official federal US policy on all blood-related donations for decades, though a few years ago they removed the universal ban and instituted a "deferral period" requiring several months of abstinence instead, which of course to the gay community may as well still be a ban.
