Why do some people believe Cartman genuinely cares for Kyle?

 

It's a question in the sense that I want an answer as to why people think that, something that in a way might rebuttal what I've said

In "Ginger Cow", Cartman actually proves my point by completely pulling a 180 when it benefits him. Initially, Cartman keeps up the prank that the ginger cow is real. When confronted with an outraged Kyle, the school, the media... Cartman holds to the claim that the cow is real.
But then, peace in the Middle East is created specifically because the ginger cow is thought to be real. Cartman suddenly feels the need to come clean, but he confides that in Kyle, specifically. It's not all that subtle that what Cartman really wants is to extort Kyle, by making Kyle his servant in exchange for not revealing that the cow is a fake.

In "Kenny Dies", Cartman attempts to get stem cell research (using aborted fetuses) legalized in a feigned attempt to save Kenny's life. It is revealed at the end of the episode he really wanted to use stem cells to clone his favorite pizza restaurant.

• Cartman has no problem with amorality. He does what he wants. To Cartman, there is no boundary that you can't cross if you want to.
• Kyle is the opposite. He often argues the point that there are moral lines which cannot be crossed at any cost. Kyle takes this too far sometimes, holding on to a principle to a degree that is not healthy or helpful anymore.
• Stan is the mediator here. He doesn't have an opinion about morality. He simply sides with whoever seems to be the most correct in this particular case. There are times where Stan actively agrees with Cartman. There are other times where Stan tries to stick with Kyle, but eventually has to concede that Kyle takes it too far. Other times, Stan completely sides with Kyle. But there are also times where Stan, while agreeing with Kyle, ignores Cartman and doesn't actively feel the need to prove Cartman wrong (which Kyle is less capable of).
