YMMV / BoJack Horseman S4E05 "Thoughts and Prayers"

• Don't Shoot the Message: Haha, but seriously... The episode does bring up plenty of real-life controversies worthy for discussion (movie executives worrying more about their violent movies failing than whether or not they glorify violence, women feeling unsafe because of constant unwanted advances, people being more concerned with their second amendment rights than with people getting killed by guns), and tragically, domestic terrorism and gun control have only gotten worse in the years since the episode's release. However, many felt it was lacking due to the Compressed Vice and excessive strawmanning, and left them feeling less well-informed about gun control and more like they... well, got shot in the face with the message.
• Harsher in Hindsight: In January of 2020, the show's designer and producer Lisa Hanawalt was herself mugged at gunpoint. Amazingly (and somewhat humorously), not only did she get away unharmed, but she did so after telling the gunman point blank that he could have her phone and wallet, but not her sketchbook.
