Cartman is so confusing. This boy is a narcissist and he’s manipulative, he is incredibly antisemitic, racist, sexist and overall not a good person. He seemingly doesn’t care about his friends and will take any opportunity to hurt them and not think twice about it. And yet, he has also shown genuine care for Kenny, Stan and even Kyle. He stopped himself from killing the pangolin when he saw how much Stan was affected from the lockdown, even if that meant he would have to go back to school like normal (which he did not want to happen). He saved a bunch of baby cows because he knew how important it was to Stan, not because he actually cared about the cows liberation. He sobbed when Kenny was sick, he was the one that reached out to Stan and Kyle when he saw how much Kenny was sad that their relationship was dying and took steps to try and mend this. He saved Kyle in Smug Alert! because be “missed” “ripping on him” and showed genuine gratitude when Kyle saved him from getting assaulted, calling him “my little monster” affectionately. These examples don’t even begin to make up for everything that Cartman has done, he is not someone who deserves forgiveness or can even begin to atone for his behaviour, but he very much gives the “I can be a dickhead to you, but no one else can” vibe when it comes to his friends.
