1* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While Todd's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to [=BoJack=] about how [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse he can't blame anything but himself for his bad behavior]] is quite poignant, his reaction to the specific situation - [=BoJack=] sleeping with Emily - comes across as unfair and overreacting. Unlike a lot of [=BoJack=]'s toxic actions, his night with Emily was consensual and mutual, and the only real wrongdoing was that he and Emily didn't tell Todd what happened. Todd hadn't dated Emily for years, and it quickly becomes clear that they aren't compatible because [[UsefulNotes/{{Asexuality}} he could never be attracted to her sexually]], so Todd comes across as unusually possessive, especially since he doesn't seem to get mad at Emily at all or consider that she could have a consensual relationship with [=BoJack=]. Todd even admits in Season 4 that the Emily incident was more the straw that broke the camel's back, possibly serving as an AuthorsSavingThrow.
