As a child I was groomed by a man in my village and I see a lot of similarities between the way bj and my groomer acted. Do you guys think bojack intended to do something with penny for what ever reason and groomed her? ( reminds her of Charlotte at an early age/ makes it feel like he’s back in his youth?) or was it an opportunity taken impulsively?
I think Bojack’s desire to be the center of attention and have everyone like him led him to do some things that at the very least have the same effect as grooming, even if that wasn’t the intent.
