This feels like the exact opposite extreme, a position of pure misanthropic nihilism which is both useless and not imo terribly tenable. "People never change" feels empty and self justifying too.

People... *can* change, but they usually don't, and whether they do is usually not dependent on some great act of will

But yes, TGP is obviously a "healthier" show to educate your kids with than Bojack Horseman Hell I'd even say that the ending of BH, which I thought was very good, should come with a million content warnings for suicidal ideation

I mean, bluntly? What fuels a lot of the core burnout far right people IS the idea that you can't really change, you can only be you.

Like I'm obviously nor one of those saccharine people who think Hopepunk Will Change the World - but if you ask me a lot of what's driving our current death spiral into reactionary populist hell is the decadent cynicism of the 90s and 00s.

Where caring about things or people was for squares and liars; REAL people embrace their shittiness!

Bojack Horseman really isn't like that at all The core problem driving all its action is that Bojack cannot be happy "just being himself", he finds being himself intolerable

right yeah he's secretly depressed & constantly in pain and that's never once shown in the bulk of the episodes where he just gets high and bones his way through the universe

It's undoubtedly a less thematically consistent show because of how much of it is still a gag-based cartoon yes
