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?
Bojack, especially in the early seasons, doesn’t really know how not to manipulate people. It’s kind of all he knows because that’s the horrible world he grew up, never experiencing love and thinking you have to coerce people into liking you.
And it’s just going to be a disaster if you put someone like that around impressionable teenagers.
