My long lost brother…

Same, who wouldn’t be f’ed up if they grew up with their parents literally despising them?

Thats perfectly fine, he is a fictional character, you can simply condemn his actions while understand and appreciate how well written he is. I dont hate him either. He might be written to be a really terrible person but ultimately he is the driving force of the entire show. Has that gravitas. TV dynamite so to say.

Same honestly.

Me too

I personally think this is one of the core ideas of the show. I think it goes out of its way to contextualize his behavior and humanize him without excusing anything. Bad people are still….people.

I hate Bojack’s actions. But it’s very hard to hate someone as a person when the world is presented to you through their eyes. Bojack is it very complicated character and simplifying things down to ‘he’s evil’ kind of feels like missing the point

Same. I don’t really like to try to hate people either though. As long you recognize his actions are wrong and don’t do them yourself obviously.

I think thats the case with most people once you understand their struggles and background. Once you start analysing and understanding where the problems are coming from, you find it hard to hold people accountable since you understand where everything is coming from. One thing that helped me a lot is realising that everyone’s got a luggage behind and everyone can have reasons to be a bad person. And at the end, once you’re an adult it’s your own responsibility to deal with your luggage and clean it, even if it’s not your fault that it’s there. So even though there are tragic things happening to people, that doesn’t mean that they have a green card for anything. Everybody’s got shit. It’s a choice how you deal with that said shit

I thunk the best summary I’ve seen on it was: If I knew Bojack in real life I would feel bad for him, but I wouldn’t want anything to do with him.
