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

That's part of why the episode where they are hunting down the baby doll he threw away and we get to hear his inner thoughts is one of my favorite episodes, as well as the most relatable one. Because it absolutely nails the head voice of someone that hates themselves.

Herb's final parting words to Bojack, that Bojack would be much happier if he could just admit to himself that he's a piece of shit who doesn't really care about anybody, sting extra hard *because what he's proposing is impossible* Bojack is an asshole because he CAN'T do that

Notably, the Trumps of the world aren't necessarily *happy*, but they aren't tormented by guilt either

I mean, it's the kind of thing you can see in Trump I wouldn't say that you see any signs of guilt or remorse in him, but he's obviously driven by wanting people to like and admire and applaud him The idea that people out there hold him in contempt or mockery drives him mad

Like many trollish people he seems to provoke hostility and bask in it because it transparently does in fact bother him very much to be disliked, and he's neurotically obsessed with finding out who dislikes him and punishing them
