Also comparing it to Rick and Morty which suggests they haven't watched it

edit: If you don't like the show that's cool I just thought this was a weird pattern

Have you seen this take here? I haven't, aside from people calling it "sad horse show."

One criticism I've seen of Rick and Morty is that although Rick is very clearly portrayed as a bad person who has no regard for the well-being of those around him, he never faces any permanent consequences for his actions. This makes sense as a creative choice because the show has to return to the status quo at the end of each episode, but it leaves room for some obnoxious fans to identify with Rick and idolize the type of personality the show is in part trying to criticize.

Bojack Horseman doesn't have this problem. When Bojack makes bad decisions and hurts people, he has to live with the consequences of those decisions for the rest of the show. There's an entire story arc where Bojack uses a character he's playing as a justification for his own shitty behavior and gets called out for it by his friend. The writers weren't subtle in calling out this type of toxic fan. The show is very clear about how Bojack is supposed to be interpreted.

Not here, from fans of the podcast Chapo Trap House, which has a similar name to this website despite there being no relationship between the two to my knowledge

I honestly thought it was great, and somewhat responsible, of the writers of Bojack to put a whole season in where Bojack is playing a character (Philbert) -- who is essentially himself -- and at the end Diane calls him out for perpetuating an asshole stereotype that he shouldn't be apologizing for/emphasizing with.
