So I’m rewatching the show and I’m on episode 8 of the first season (The Telescope). During this episode we see Bojack and Herb’s friendship but theres a moment I want to talk about. At minute 12:59 Bojack asks Herb if he and his lovers ever “Link up and do, like, a fun party train or a fun circle?” And later he says “because I think I’d be doing that all the time.” Kind of a weird thing for him to be thinking about but it got me thinking, maybe Bojack is a bit fruity? I’m not saying he’s gay, obviously. He’s fucked almost every woman in Los Angeles. Then again there are things other than being gay or straight. Bojack could be a small bit bisexual with a heavy preference for women? What do you guys think?
he grew up with abusive parents in a very homophobic time so if he had any gay thoughts i’m sure they’d be wildly repressed with the rest of his trauma. i’m sure if it weren’t for all the Everything about him he’d be in love with herb. there’s definitely a queer subtextual interpretation to be had with bojack as a character.
I’m certain Herb 100% had both romantic and sexual feelings towards Bojack but I really don’t think Bojack ever remotely saw Herb in that way, even after Herb’s attempted kiss. Imo during their best times Bojack only ever saw him as a close friend.
