Got a WIP you're excited about? Want to rave about your fave? Or is your fandom absolutely in love with a character who detracts from every scene they bumble into, and you need somewhere to vent? You're in the right place!

Re: Bojack Horseman

People's interpretations of characters in shows always vary, but it's SUCH a dramatic difference from person to person for BH. And yeah, it's easy to pick out the misogynists by their take on Diane. I've seen a bunch of people online talking about how relatable *Todd* was, and I was just... boggling. I spent almost the whole show thinking he was a cardboard cutout put there as comic relief. Turns out no! There was also one scene toward the end that clicked his character into place for me. Kind of preachy, but. It made sense, taken in a broader way than the actual lines.
