10 Most Hated BoJack Horseman Characters

While Beatrice at least had the excuse of seeing her own mother fall into insanity in front her very eyes, Butterscotch Horseman was just invariably awful. Not only did he physically and verbally abuse his wife, he did it in front of his young son with no regard for what impression this would give him.

He then went on to do the same for BoJack, giving him absolutely no chance in later life to respect or treat women properly, or to be a well rounded, healthy person.

Butterscotch genuinely thought he was hard done by in life, having to accept a high paying job with Beatrice’s family instead of toiling in the canning factory. He hated being kept up by BoJack’s screams as a baby, blaming Beatrice for not shutting him up, and he ultimately cheated on his wife when he got Henrietta the maid pregnant with Hollyhock.

To sum up BoJack’s father in one phrase, there would be no better than toxic masculinity. He thought that by picking BoJack up from soccer practice once his son would get confused and warped ideas about gender roles, and when one newspaper didn’t like his novel, he challenged anyone else who didn’t like it to a duel. This was the key male role model BoJack had to look up to, so it’s no wonder he turned out as damaged as he did.
