Fans think Kyman shippers are looking too deeply into Cartman's actions
There are a number of other minor instances that hint at Cartman's possible attraction toward Kyle. In fact, many fans have shipped them as "Kyman." However, not all "South Park" viewers agree that Cartman is subconsciously attracted to Kyle, and feel the shippers are looking into the situation a little too much.
On Reddit, u/PureGold07 (https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/d9zsau/comment/f1oeyw5/) brought up the fact that Cartman is a very narcissistic child who simply wants to embarrass Kyle in any way that he can ... even at the expense of making himself appear gay when he's not.
U/fryamtheiman (https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/52sh0o/comment/d7n3ih1/) isn't denouncing the idea that Cartman could be gay, or even bisexual, since he does date Heidi Turner (Jessica Makinson) in Seasons 20 and 21. However, this user just doesn't see Cartman and Kyle being endgame like Tweek Tweak and Craig Tucker (both voiced by Stone). "I would say the relationship between Cartman and Kyle is more akin to that of the Joker and Batman from 'The Dark Knight.' Cartman sees his ever combative relationship with Kyle as giving their lives purpose. There could also be the chance of attraction still existing, but I've always seen their relationship as being necessary enemies from Cartman's perspective."
Still, with "South Park" renewed through at least Season 30, anything is possible.
