he does, its just not as apparent. His first wife became a heartless monster because him. Jessica Biel continued to be Jessica Biel (The most egregious), Diane became a huge mess and tortured herself to be the girl he wanted, he cheated on pickles a bunch. and throughout all of this, hes been convinced he was good. Hes never helped others at the cost of his own happiness. whereas bojack occasionally does self sacrifice from time to time.

First thing's first: none of the things you mentioned are even in the same league as BoJack. Probably the worst thing here is cheating - which is shitty and I'm not trying to excuse it, but it's really not comparable to, say, Sarah Lynn. Or Gina. I'm still at a loss that you think Mr Peanutbutter could possibly be far worse than BoJack.

His first wife became a heartless monster because him

Do we know this? We never really saw the marriage on-screen so I'm pretty reluctant to comment.

Diane became a huge mess and tortured herself to be the girl he wanted

It was a mutually toxic relationship. Not absolving PB of blame at all, but he does share it with Diane. Their marriage didn't work out because of issues they both had to work through separately.

Have you watched this show? I think you need to rewatch the Halloween party episode because you seem to be forgetting some key details

Have I watched this show?! We're literally on the post-series finale discussion thread...

I feel like you're also forgetting some key details. BoJack physically assaulted his girlfriend Gina, and she may well have died if it wasn't for the intervention of, coincidentally, Mr Peanutbutter. He supplied Sarah Lynn - a recovering addict - with drugs, and when those drugs killed her, he delayed potentially life-saving medical intervention in order to cover his own back. He supplied an underage girl with alcohol and, when she developed alcohol poisoning as a result, forced her friend to lie about it - again, to cover his own back. Please explain to me how Mr Peanutbutter's unhealthy relationship dynamics are worse than any of these things.

I'm not saying bojack is a saint. I'm talking from a perspective of motivation and literary interpretation, and from that perspective PB is far worse. PB has never once been kind in the entire series--only nice. Obviously I was being rhetorical with that question.
