Yo. Read the entire thread, get where you're coming from, here to tell you that you totally misunderstood troll romance.
The moirail is obliged to pacify the other, to function as the better half.
The two partners in a strong pale relationship will serve to balance and complement each other's emotional profiles, and thus allow their other relationships to be more successful.
Karkat<>Kanaya does not fit the emotional profile of a good moirallegiance at all because hey get this:
Neither of them are irrationally dangerous.
Some are more hot-tempered and dangerous than others, to the extent that if left to their own devices, they would present a serious threat to society, or even to themselves.
Such trolls will have an instinctive pale attraction to a more even-tempered troll, who may become their MOIRAIL.
A reasonable human translation would be the concept of a soul mate, but in a more platonic sense, and with a more specific social purpose.
A moirail isn't a platonic soul bro that you talk out your shit to. A moirail is the person who will slap you and call you a grumpy motherglubber if your shit is twisted. They have a SPECIFIC SOCIAL PURPOSE which oh my god why do people gloss over that?
A moirail's job is not to sort out your emotional problems.
It is to stop you from going axe-happy on society.
It is to stop you from being a danger to yourself.
`I doubt they really understand his character.`
If you do not understand the basics of troll romance and cannot wrap your head around decisions that Karkat himself makes and that has been hinted to throughout the entirety of Act 5.2 (every mention of being responsible for gamzee?):
You are the one who doesn't understand his character.
