The best part of that weird threadshitting is that Motherfucker apparently believes the term “incel” predates asexual. And that he confused incel with volcel.

If you’re going to do a take on #metoo, you don’t go “what if bitches be crazy liars”, that’s stupid and harmful. Show people in the wake of these scandals rushing to take advantage of power vacuums in its wake if you’re going to be cynical about it. Like I can very easily see Princess Carolyn start celebrating when some big-name actor gets fired for sexual harassment because it means she can get a client that role.

This is one of the better suggestions I've seen.

Here's another I think isn't totally terrible:

A female cast member not being believed when she speaks up due to some other, probably new, female character, falsely accusing the same person who abused the main cast member for personal gain but is shot down. Todd stumbles rear end-backwards onto the truth, overhearing the perpetrator talking about grabbing by the genitals or whatever, and gets Jessica Biel to stand by the female cast member and everyone bielives the victims after that.

Good if done properly, I think. So I definitely shouldn't be in charge there.

Here's somethings I can guarantee about next season:

-If they don't do a storyline on #METOO some people here will be offended that they ignored it

-If they DO do a storylline on #METOO some people here will find some fault with it and reactions will vary from "it's cringeworthy the way they..." to "THIS IS COMPLETE poo poo AND I AM NEVER WATCHING THIS SHOW AGAIN!"

-also somebody will :smug: ly connect the dots and say that the tone deaf and hamfisted covering of sexual assault combined with the casting of a white woman as Diane proves that the show creator is a secret white patriarchal cishet shitlord all along and "I TOTALLY knew that"

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
What if they never address it directly but always have a little snippet going on in the background, like something in the news ticker while Tom talks about something else, little, blurred protests or marches happening while characters are meeting somewhere, actresses dropping out of their roles in Princess Carolyne's project for unspecified reasons, stuff like that.

Not expecting any of this to actually happen, just making conversation.

I genuinely don’t understand the idea that the show has to depict #metoo in a certain light. So many people in this thread seem to believe the show has a responsibility to depict all of this in the most realistic and most supportive light, but that doesn’t seem possible in a show where the main character is a dedicated sex-creep.

There are many possible #metoo storylines, why do they have to play it straight? Would that send a worse message than the sex whale episode or the Chicken episode, both of which have deep messages but don’t mind playing them for jokes.

I understand it’s a sensitive and extremely triggering subject, but like, so is cancer, so is addiction, so is clinical depression, so is literally all of Beatrice’s storyline in season 4, and they were all able to tell those stories.

Again, for me it comes down to having faith in the show.

Amazon just snagged Raphael Bob-Waksberg and Kate Purdy for a new series.

quote:

Undone is a “half-hour animated dramedy that explores the elastic nature of reality through its central character, Alma,” according to a press release. Alma, voiced by Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel), discovers she has a new relationship with time itself after surviving a near-fatal car accident. Alma uses her new ability to investigate the truth surrounding her father’s death.

Dutch artist Hisko Hulsing, who is best known for his work on the Kurt Cobain documentary, Montage of Heck, will oversee animation on the project.

“Hisko’s beautiful artwork and masterful use of light and color will create a look never seen before on a television show that will make audiences lose their minds,” Bob-Waksberg said in a press release.

For those who don't know, Purdy basically led the charge on some of the show's strongest episodes: "Downer Ending," "Best Thing That Ever Happened," "The Old Sugarman Place," and "Time's Arrow." Undone is set for 2019; RBW remains committed to BoJack, and while Purdy is unlikely to be part of the show going forward, we're theoretically close enough to the show's 5th season that she might have still contributed to some scripts. Even if she isn't, there's still a lot of talent in that room.

All that said, between this and Lisa Hanawalt's new project, it's looking like either this season or next will be it for BoJack, which would be a hell of a run for a talking horse cartoon.

I think the point is that Princess Carolyn actively sabotages her positive relationships because she's so used to co-dependency and being close to people who Need Her to Fix Them.

Of course, he did lie to her. But you don't get the vibe she's drawing a red line over the lie so much as she just wants to push him away because she's hurting.

I definitely think that part of it (and her break with Ralph, too, although there were other factors there) is just that PC is addicted to "fixing" other people and feels insecure when she finds herself in a close relationship with someone who has nothing to fix. Bojack sort of did a number on her in that regard.

I think it long predates Bojack. Likely, the fact he's such a trainwreck is what was so attractive to her in the first place. She even explained in The Best Thing That Ever Happened, her mom was a live-in servant for a rich family that was also a useless drunk. As a child, PC had to constantly cover for her mom, or they would both be out on the street. For her, close relationships have always had the quality of taking responsibility for the other person.
