    That was the end of the 2nd season. (2 11). He takes Penny to the prom. Gives the teenagers bourbon (to replace the red bull and vodka). Penny's friend gets alcohol poisoning, but he ditches her and her date at the ER. When he gets home, Penny is dtf, but he turns her down. He then goes and sits by the fire with his old crush, Charlotte, Penny's mom, and they kiss. Charlotte tells him he needs to go, she has a happy family... He gets back to the boat and Penny is there. They're in the room together, clothed and sitting on the bed when Charlotte busts him.

    Would he have? I don't know, I think that's what the scene was trying to say.

    He wasn't into teens or anything, that wasn't a predilection or anything, he was into what a young Charlotte meant to him.

        No, the only time he said anything like that was when he was doing his Oscar interview. He literally lost his erection when the boat was mentioned, and speculated on what he might have done ( his "stupid piece of shit" voice in action).

        Edit - none of this is really the point though. Bojack was not a good person. He could be witty, smart and could do good things, but he wasn't a good person. That wasn't the point of the show. He was potentially redeemable, he could change if he worked at it, and it's not easy to change, but all you have is your future...

            He literally never said he would have. He said something like it. I was trying to give you the benefit that you were arguing in good faith and not being trollish.

      Ahh I see, maybe I did watch more than 2 seasons then.

      Would he have? I don’t know, I think that’s what the scene was trying to say.

      He wasn’t into teens or anything, that wasn’t a predilection or anything, he was into what a young Charlotte meant to him.

      This is splitting hairs, I distinctly remember thinking that the ambiguity was very limited. Plus Penny being terrified of him in a later season should indicate that she had a sense that she was being taken advantage of (at least in hindsight). Anyway my sympathy for stuff like this is very limited - the whole show felt incredibly self indulgent (I am not saying Bojack had to face cosmic divine justice but these kinds of shows and themes feel terribly common to me). Tbf I can't expect much else from the milieu and people who get to create 'culture' (esp in America).
