Honestly pitting these two characters against each other as if they are even remotely close feels sexist. No shot would this even be asked if Eleanor was a man, “he” would just be “rough around the edges” or something. Eleanor’s gravest sins are plotting petty bullshit against her friends, who also suck, being callous and inconsiderate towards others, and stealing a dress. Bojack literally waits 17 minutes while his daughter-figure-turned-fuck-toy, who comes to him for, help dies of an overdose on the heroin he gave her after she was clean just to avoid accountability. Bojack tries to sleep with a minor. Bojack chokes a woman for drugs. Bojack ruins lives like it’s nothing. Honestly what are you even thinking
why a silly question? they both harmed teenagers, they both sexually harassed people, or tried, they both supported sexual predators, they both hurt their partners, they both knew they suck but refused to improve (while alive) often, they both bullied people, they both self sabotaged good jobs and good relationships
Not to mention, even though they both had rough childhoods/families, Bojack ended up a super rich celebrity with a lot of opportunity. He had so many chances to do the right thing, and he kept getting it wrong despite all his privilege. Eleanor had it somewhat rough into adulthood and never made it in life to the point where she was comfortable enough to grow and change her perspective. That’s why, once she hit the afterlife and had all her needs met, she slowly became a better person and worked her ass off.
