I disagree, at first I kinda sided with Diane but looking back at it now, I’m siding more with Mr. Peanutbutter. I don’t agree with PB’s reasoning, though.
I think it’s great that Diane is looking at the injustices in the world. HOWEVER, I believe her involvement is putting others and herself at risk.
- Diane gets involved and starts to contact anyone who knows anything about the harassment involved. Hank’s victim is anonymous, and we really don’t know much about her save for the fact that she worked for him. She is anonymous for a reason.
I don’t think it’s fair that Diane is trying to intrude on her. Many fans were upset when the reporters were harassing Penny for details on her trauma. What makes Diane any different from those reporters? And who is Diane to even be involved in the first place?. She was not involved in the harassment. She did not know this person. People are entitled to their privacy, especially in a traumatic event. Maybe Diane couldn’t get her to speak bc she didn’t want to be found or speak at all.

Her involvement is found out and Hank goes after her. Hank uses one of his employees as a ruse to trap Diane. The employee is clearly uncomfortable with the situation… she would have not been dragged into this situation if Diane and Hank weren’t both fighting. Out of the three people in the room, the poor employee is the one with the least amount of power. She’s quite literally being cornered by Hank and (to a lesser extent, but still responsible) Diane.

This whole fiasco really just goes back to Diane’s depression. She’s a writer who can’t write unless she’s writing about something bad. She goes into a depressive episode and holds onto the bad things in life. This is just like the argument about the plastic spoons with Guy, or the Whitewhale thing… bad things happen and sometimes they are out of our control. It is not up to an individual to tackle these stories. Diane can’t change the world by doing this alone. She’s so focused on being a “hero” or whatever but ultimately ends up hurting herself even more bc she eventually realizes she hadn’t made a dent.
I disagree on PB’s reasoning about her critiques impacting his show ratings. However, I do agree with PB when he is worried about his literal wife, whom he loves, getting death threats daily. Mountains and mountains of death threats. He is quite literally worried for her and I’m shocked that no one realized that Diane would have a legitimate reason to stop but chose not to do so.
I saw that you were okay with being spoiled, so here it goes:
She’s okay. She ends up with other acting work, although there is a scene where she is dancing and her coworker places his hand on her neck. This was not in the script and Gina falls down and freaks out. She gets upset and ties it to workplace safety and walks out of the set. The director tries to get her to stay as they’re late and over budget, and Gina says she doesn’t care. The other actor is left annoyed at Gina’s reaction.
Unfortunately, Gina is still traumatized by her events with BoJack. She is still a successful actor though, which is what she wanted. Her trauma makes her look like a difficult actor to work with, but in reality she’s freaking out bc of the choking incident and she can’t tell anyone about it.
There is a poster in the background for the movie Fireflame and she’s on it, so that means she’s still working and has recently starred in a large budget movie!
