Cartters

Cartters is the slash ship between Eric Cartman and Butters Stotch from the South Park fandom.

Canon
Some fans say that this ship started in the early seasons, when Butters was a minor character. In "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000" (S4 E2), Butters says that "Cartman's ass is unique and magical", and besides those on the sled, he is the only one of the rest of the boys who is happy when Cartman returns from jail.The pairing has received several nods in canon from Butters' side, but not generally from Cartman, because Cartman tends not to show much affection, but even so there are several times when Cartman is concerned and affectionate with Butters. The foundation of Butters and Cartman’s relationship has largely been driven by Butters’ kind, earnest desire to listen to his problems, comfort him after his failures, help him with any scheme he suggests and allow himself to be manipulated in unspeakable ways. Butters has a willingness to believe and trust everything Eric says. ("this is literally said in Rehash" ) At the beginning of the series, Cartman, like the other boys, didn't like Butters very much. However, over time, Butters ceases to be the target of jokes, and becomes Cartman's most important ally. Full episodes revolve around the partnership of the two characters, with Butters as Cartman's right hand man, or just showing up to console him and give him advice, at times like Butters going to Eric's house or the Hospital for that, or Cartman himself going to Butters' house to let off steam. Can be said that Cartman was the only one who maintained a closer friendship with Butters, with Eric being the one who highlights Butters in most situations, while the rest of the group maintained a much more distant relationship. Butters is one of the only child characters who refers to Cartman as "Eric" which can be another sign of affection. According to the official South Park Studios website, "Gradually the two boys have developed a genuine friendship over the years and Butters’ naivete seems to have invited Cartman to trust and confide in him in ways he rarely has with the other boys." According to the official South Park Twitter account, Cartman and Butters is Matt Stone and Trey Parker's favorite duo on the show.

The duo are often used in publications celebrating best friend's day on the show's social media, and also to represent on South Park's official website the "best friends" category of episodes.

Fanon
We have to keep in mind the evolution of their relationship, remembering how the situation was at the beginning of the series where all the boys, Kyle, Stan, Kenny, Cartman, etc. They ignored, mistreated and used Butters as a guinea pig for fun, this was undoubtedly something extremely toxic, but over the seasons the evolution of the characters and the relationships between them, especially in relation to Eric and Butters, who are currently best friends a from the other.

Regarding Butters, there is nothing toxic in how he sees Cartman, the respect and admiration he has for Eric is evident, Butters likes to be with Cartman and to support everything Eric does, as he says himself, in the ep "Rehash";

The really controversial issue is Eric, does he act healthily towards Butters? not 100%, although he treats Butters pretty well these days compared to how he treats most people, (Eric trusts him blindly, protects him in some situations, it's Eric's safe harbor etc.) But we're talking about South Park and Eric Cartman, we still have situations where Eric loses patience with Butters talking too much and looks at him with an angry look, repressing him, so that's a toxic attitude he still has between them;

But it's probably never going to change 100%, because it's part of the mood of the show, and all of South Park's relationships are full of problems and toxic stuff. Part of Fandom thinks such complaints about toxicity in South Park, in a show where giant toxic things happen all the time like humor and social criticism, are unnecessary.

Although their relationship is much healthier these days, we can see how Eric treats Butters these days and things he does for Butters, things Eric has never done for another character, which are listed on the wiki, but giving some examples we have: when Butters asks for Cartman a special snack and Eric finds a way to get and give Butters to please him (ep You're Not Yelping), at another point Eric sees Butters is feeling sad and asks if it's okay if anything happened, Eric became concerned for Butters when he realized he wasn't so excited about the daily dancing and singing that the two sang together every day (ep "Let Them Eat Goo") Eric expresses to Butters all his feelings by asking Butters for advice, which Eric takes seriously (You're Not Yelping), etc.

In short, It is undeniable how the relationship is very healthy in several points, but not 100% healthy, it has its problems, Cartman is still in a dominant relationship over Butters (although Butters demonstrates and says he likes it). But Eric acts much healthier with Butters with each passing season. Never quite the same Cartman from "Pretty House" and "Awesome-o", their relationship is going on a pretty good path of steady evolution, but apparently there's no permanent change over Eric's domination domination, Eric's already happened to try to become 100% healthy with Butters and everyone else, but Butters didn't like it one bit, Butters felt very angry and disappointed with Cartman (s 20 ep 7 - Oh, Jeez) and in "Stunning and Brave" " we see Butters celebrate the return of the "old cartman" with a bounce of joy, and later Butters convinced the return of the "old Cartman" at the end of season 20;

Not being able to confuse their relationship with the cliché of Mimsy and Nathan's relationship, Butters is not stupid, he doesn't easily believe the words of other boys, as already said he submits to everything Eric says because he likes

Fatphobia

A lot of people just hate the shipp because Cartman is fat and "Butters wouldn’t be okay with fat boy", and they simply prefer "skinny pretty" couples, this is clearly a very sad thing, showing the problems of fatphobia, we get to see many (even among those who ship the couple) drawing Cartman in lean versions or much less fat than what is actually shown in the series;

Sexual Preference

this is one of the few Slash shipps from South Park that the sexual orientation of the two characters combine, but Eric and Butters are confirmed or hinted as Bisexual at various times in the universe of the series, as in "Le Petit Tourette" Cartman without wanting to tell Butters that made out with his cousin, and in "Tweek x Craig" Eric is confused by his sexuality and masturbates imagining being in gay sex; In "Awesom-O", Cartman was videotaped making out with a Justin Timberlake cutout, etc. Butters in episodes like "Cartman Sucks" he is suggested as bisexual (bi-curious) after being caught by his father, nearly putting Eric's penis in his mouth, then at the end of the episode he declares himself "bi-curious" although he doesn't seem to understand what he's saying, and in "The F Word" he is also suggested as bisexual, where he joins the "fags" movement and declares himself a "Bike-curious", the official South Park account makes jokes about this game of words.

In "The Stick of Truth" Butters flirts with the new boy (your character in the game)
