When will the "Cartman has a crush on Kyle, but shipping Kyman is crazy" crowd realize that they make absolutely zero sense.
Like-
IN CANON neither Cartman nor Kyle have a crush on eachother. What they do have is a deep and weird obsession with eachother. YOU are actively choosing to interpret that obsession as a crush Cartman has on Kyle, but that is not the "canon" dynamic or nature of that obsession. In the same way people who ship Kyman will interpret it as reciprocal (or maybe they won't, it depends), cause the thing is that Kyle is just as obsessed with Cartman as Cartman is with him. That's why you can interpret this dynamic as any shade from nonexistent, to one sided, to reciprocal.
If Kyle is as obsessed with Cartman as Cartman is with him, and you think that Cartman has a crush on Kyle because that's how you CHOOSE to interpret that obsesssion. Then it's just hypocritical to go off on people who use the exact same logic you did to come to that conclusion. You don't have to think of it as reciprocal, it's completely valid to see their obsession as manifesting as a crush in one and not the other, or to even see it as just obsession in both.
It's just god damn weird to be so nasty about it to other people. Both of them are obsessed with eachother in a way, and people are allowed to interpret each of their obsessions however they want. If people who ship kyman are delusional for interpreting Kyle's obsession with Cartman the same way you interpret Cartman's obsession with Kyle, then I'm afraid you are all sinking in the same boat load of delusional together.
#my personal take on this is that im a kyman “dynamic” enthusiasts#i like their canon dynamic the most but i like any interpretation that keeps it's essence as well#i also get ticked off when ppl are like “kyle would never date cartman he would be so disgusted”#and im like#ah yes as opposed to cartman who has canonically shown just an incredible desire to be in a relationship with kyle#like pls be fr cartman would have the exact same reaction to this as you think kyle would#if by some chance they do end up with crushes on eachother both of them are taking that revelation in the WORST way possible#it's NOT just kyle that would have this disturbed reaction at the thought of cartman liking him#the reality is that both of them have a weird obsessive hatred for eachother and anything you imagine beyond that is headcanon#you are just as much headcanoning cartman's obsession developing into a crush as someone who ships kyman might headcanon kyle's obsession#developing into a crush#headcanoning cartman as having a one sided crush on kyle is as much an exploration of their dynamic as having it be reciprocal is#i don't care what moral obligations you might have to that#but you are both going at this with the same logic so please refrain from digging into eachother further because it's just annoying#that's all#kyman#sp kyman#kyman discourse#eric cartman#kyle broflovski
