#the fandom always wants/expects/demands the non white partner to “take care” of their white fave because that's their purpose

I liked your comments on kenstewy. I ship it, but I also find so much fic makes Stewy this pathetic guy rather than someone who is a winner and driven and loaded in his own right. the only fics I have read where Stewy is a "caretaker" which makes sense, are ones where Kendall has a total mental break and loses touch with reality and gets diagnosed as having bipolar disorder. Even in that one, Stewy is ... not selfish, but not in thrall to Kendall. His own man. not sure if that makes sense. I think it is set before the series so it makes more sense too.

no, what you're saying makes perfect sense and a fic set pre canon where stewy takes care of ken because he has lost touch with reality and is probably terrified on his behalf does make sense.

Honestly the issue with "caretaker" stewy is that the fandom and the majority of kenstewy shippers don't see him as his own person with his own life and issues, and the result is him coming across as a 2-dimensional loser with no life or purpose of his own outside of being ken's therapist/support system/replacement daddy and not only is it ooc, but it's also telling that the same shippers making those fics NEVER have ken being the one taking care of stewy in return, which means they either see stewy's purpose being ken's emotional support dildo (because they always fuck in those fics) or they are admitting to thinking that only ken deserves love/caretaking in their dynamic, which is really fucked, like why are you shipping them together if you don't like stewy at all?? and why want them together if you don't see stewy as his own person???
