      It was less the fact that they banged and more that both of them had sex with eachother because they thought it would hurt Todd.

        What? Bojack literally says “I was lonely, she was there, why does anyone have sex with anybody?”

        Neither of them were trying to hurt Todd at all.

          The episode made it clear that Bojack had sex with Emily because things were going well with Todd, and so he acted out and did something specifically so that he could damage his relationship with Todd, so that when his relationship eventually falls apart (because Bojack feels that every relationship he is in falls apart) he can look back to the bad thing he did to Todd and blame that for why Todd left him, not because Bojack is inherently poison that drives people away.

      It’s all cool when he’s responsible for the deaths of countless people though, and he truly doesn’t seem to care at all even if he didn’t do it intentionally.

      I dunno the way I think about it is it’s a breach of trust in a friendship, and as others have said the “last straw” for Todd. The act itself isn’t that bad, they are two consenting adults who had sex with each.

      But this was Todd’s closest and longest standing friend. Bojack could have sex with literally anybody else, but chooses to do it with someone that Todd clearly has close emotional ties too. Then it’s the fact that they lied after-like if it wasn’t a shitty thing to do that they knew would hurt Todd, why lie/cover it up? Also to add on to it Emily’s guilt made their relationship strain and she sort of exited Todd’s life (not permanently) at the moment, and he was super stoked to have that relationship again. While that was Emily’s choice, Bojacks actions played definite role.

      And as far as the last straw goes, Todd had been processing all the shitty things Bojack had done to him since he found out about the rock opera, and while this under other circumstance may not have ended this this was it for Todd. And in my opinion justly so.

      Bojack didn’t know that Todd was asexual yet. After everything bojack has done and Todd saw him do, it was just another sign that bojack did whatever he wanted regardless of consequences. And Todd at this time still liked Emily even if he didn’t want sex so it’s still betrayal.

      Also Bojack did other things that led up to Todd lashing out.

      “You can’t keep doing shitty things” is about the past, not just Emily.
