12 Worst Things That Ever Happened To BoJack Horseman
1. Having The Parents He Had
BoJack Horseman is not only one of the worst and most heinous characters in the series, but one of the most disgusting protagonists of any TV show in recent memory. However, he was never going to be a normal person given the upbringing he had.
Butterscotch and Beatrice Horseman had no right being parents. They never loved each other, they had a fling in something of an act of rebellion for Beatrice against her father’s plans for her, but getting pregnant was a spanner in the works.
Neither wanted to be a parent, and both openly showed BoJack their resentment towards him for ruining their lives. Butterscotch couldn’t ever work on his great American novel and hated working to support a family, while Beatrice felt that her body was ruined, and at one point she literally told BoJack she was punishing him for being alive.
She demanded greatness from BoJack to make up for all the damage he caused, but it was she and her husband that damaged their son beyond repair. They showed him no affection or empathy, and they wanted him to know that they hated him. How can anyone be expected to function as a normal adult after that?
