based on her performance in Tuca and Berite, i feel like Ali Wong could really capture the essence of Diane’s character. plus she’s part Vietnamese.

I watched it with my mom in 2021, and it was very cathartic for both of us. You guys should totally do it

i am not victim blaming here, but Penny was the one who initiated things in a sexual way. i’ve kind of been in her shoes around her age, and in retrospect i made some really shitty choices.

BoJack only gave in because he was rejected by Charlotte. from there, though, it was absolutely his responsibility to say no to her. if it were to have happened, Penny would’ve had a lot more trauma, whether the sex was good or not. thank god (or… the writers) for Charlotte walking in.

well… mr peanutbutter seems to be the only friend who doesn’t cut ties with bojack in the end. they’d probably both be very lonely and frustrated, so it could make a little sense.

p.s. i think it’s simultaneously hilarious and disappointing that the writers included this scene and then failed to bring it up ever again.

i went out with a 40 year old when i was 18. though perfectly legal, it definitely feels wrong on a freudian level. luckily, i was smart enough not to sleep with him and i ended up dumping him a few months in. situations like that are pretty awful to think about in retrospect. the red flags won’t necessarily occur to a teenager while they’re faced with it, but once you’re grown you start to wonder why the hell that person would even pursue you.
