Scale: 0 = not woke, 10 = maximally woke
TL;DR Verdict
Season 6 blends MeToo-style accountability into BoJack's redemption arc and adds social themes to supporting storylines, yet keeps personal addiction, trauma, and self-destruction as the core focus for a moderate 6/10 score.

Detailed Analysis
Season 6 centers BoJack's rehab and redemption arc around confronting his history of exploitative relationships with young women, including the Sarah Lynn death investigation and live TV interview exposing power imbalances and delayed 911 call, directly echoing MeToo-style accountability for toxic masculinity and Hollywood predation.
Diane Nguyen's storyline as a Vietnamese-American third-wave feminist grapples with depression, antidepressants, weight gain, and media work at Girl Croosh, while Todd's established asexuality receives further development through his relationship with Maude via an asexual dating app. Creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg publicly regretted the whitewashing of Diane (voiced by white actress Alison Brie) and shifted to actively seeking actors of color for new roles, citing this as an 'original sin' that 'hurt the show.' These elements influence character arcs and subplots without redefining the core premise of personal addiction, trauma, and self-destruction.
Key Factors
- MeToo accountability plotline via Sarah Lynn investigation and BoJack's interviews exposing abusive patterns with women
- Diane's feminist character arc and creator's post-casting diversity mandate statements
- Todd's asexuality representation and normalization
- Satire on media consolidation and Hollywood hypocrisy around 'bad men'
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
