love how Stan and Kyle are the best developed characters in the series, his Fi is what captivates me a lot, mainly because it is so well approached from the first episode, the way Stan creates an internal morality based on the moral dilemmas he goes through is really enlightening, for those looking to understand how Fi works, Stan is a great character for that. I like the contrast we have in the friendship between Stan and Kyle, and how the two having totally different judgmental functions react to dilemmas and stimuli, Kyle is much more concerned with how he perceives the world, every episode with him being the protagonist serves to change or evolve his perception of reality. Kyle is always confronted with a new concept or a new version of something he supposedly already knew Stan on the other hand always has his episodes focused not on his perception of reality, but on the moral dilemmas it entails, and it's really nice to see the difference between Stan (Fi) and Kyle (Fe) deal with these issues Stan has a major failure to emotionally understand something he has never experienced, he is inextricably linked to his own internal experience, and he has extreme difficulty empathizing with a feeling he has never experienced (this is the most basic form of Fi), great examples of this are the episodes where his grandfather asks Stan to kill him and the episode where Randy says "the word" that makes Tolkien hurt, in both episodes Stan doesn't understand how these characters are feeling, and just assumes it's no big deal, but as soon as Stan goes through similar experiences he understands the situation and is finally able to empathize with both of them. There's a lot to learn from comparing Stan to Kyle, Stan is especially expressionless and reserved about his emotions, while Kyle is probably the most overtly sensitive character in the series, is a good contrast between Fi and Fe, the way they empathize shows this well, Fi can only empathize with something that comes close to her own experience, it is very common to see Fidoms comparing and associating the experiences of others with what they had in the past in order to empathize with them, always something like "I've been through something similar, so I know how you feel", it is always an internal and personal process Kyle is the opposite, he doesn't need to go through the experiences of others, he just understands the general concept and he is automatically able to empathize and understand (Ni-Fe) something similar happens in the episode where Butters' image is used in the production of an anti-bullying movie, it's interesting because the way Kyle and Stan react to it is quite different, Stan simply accepts Butters' decision because he wants to, so it's not his problem, Kyle completely ignores Butters' decision because "he doesn't know what's best for him", whereas Stan sees something from an overly internal perspective and believes that everyone should experience their own thing without outside influence, Kyle believes in a unified feeling, a sense of protection and camaraderie such as: "we are all together, we are equal" You can really learn a lot from this animation, and that's why I like South Park so much.
Biography
Stanley Marsh is arguably the most "normal" of the kids, and is generally honest, very mature for his age, and well-meaning. Stan is generally the most tender and sensitive of the four boys, and has a fondness for animals. He has a dog named Sparky that he likes a lot. He tried to save calves with the help from Kyle, Cartman and Butters at one point after hearing about Veal being made from baby cows. He also once decided that he would never eat meat again, but he had to give that up, because it was seriously harming his health.
