Would you call that nepotism? They cast Benedicts real life parents as Sherlocks parents, so why not Martins partner as Mary? Would they have done it if she wasn't an actor?

Yeah, I don't care about nepotism if that person is actually involved with the project.

Like, who would give a shit if a director cast their so-so actress daughter in one of their films, it's a different thing entirely if he pulls some strings to get her cast in an unrelated project.

They never suggested otherwise. Their first sentence reads "I don't care about nepotism if..."

You're free to disagree and say these examples of nepotism are still wrong but pay attention to what is actually being argued.

The "oh and by the way we've worked together before and have chemistry that could be important in a series that is heavily reliant on chemistry." being slipped in at the end of the quote is a little bit of a throw.
