Thanks for your thoughts about the homophobic reactions we have seen this chapter. It is so mindboggling for me that people say Ishida Sensei is pandering to groups of people, or completely dismissing the whole thing by saying "they are just friends" or "I feel like they are more like brothers". What freaking story have you been reading??? Others have been dismissing his sexuality saying that he flirted with Touka, first of all Bi people exist, second many guys stay in the closet and date girls

I’m not gonna make any statements regarding whether or not I think Hide’s feelings were platonic or romantic, so at the moment, that’s not a factor for me. The people who are upset claim to perceive Hide’s feelings as platonic so that tells me that they’re not outraged at Hide having feelings for Kaneki, but rather the possibility that he might.

If you know me, you know that I RARELY use words like homophobic, biphobic etc. because they’re just so overused and desensitised especially by this site, but this is just straight up homophobia; there’s just no other way to put it. When the same people who were fine with Hinami having feelings for Kaneki (and even wrote fics involving her in threesomes with Touka and Kaneki) are suddenly outraged by the idea of Hide maybe having feelings for him, there’s just no other word to put on it.

When Hinami has feelings for Kaneki, there’s no upset because she’s female, but there’s mass hysteria when Hide just says he loves Kaneki. Someone please tell me what the difference was here? Absolutely nothing other than gender, pretty much. So if you were fine with Hinami having feelings for Kaneki but aren’t okay with the possibility of Hide having them too, please at least think about why you feel that way, because then it’s not just a case of “I’m worried about my ship being broken apart,” is it?

Seem like a lot of people are fixated on how big Scarecrow look and if Hide gained weight. I'm all up for chubby Hide (more of him to love) ((also more for kaneki to vore lmao)) But I'm writing to make things worse. What if there is a reason behind this weight gain? What if back in the sewers Kaneki was not only hungry but hella thirsty and went for the D? Castrated individuals and mamals show that have a tendency to gain rapidly.

That’s morbid and I suppose not entirely implausible, though I’m not entirely sure how much nutritional value Hide’s balls had lmfao

If Kaneki did bite Hide in the shoulder back in the sewers does that mean that he is living in polygamy with 2 Husbands and a Wife? They will need a really big bed Amon by himself is huge, he will take a lot of space.

Didn’t Rize also bite him? That makes two husbands and two wives.Shit, if Touka wasn’t in this I would totally ship it.

LMAO I just saw your cow AU drawings. But what about a Haise wearing a kigurumi ;D Would Hide also go for the udders?

Hide’s thirsty for Haise’s milk ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Why are you all fighting??? This is not what Hide would have wanted. Hide didn't pretend to die for this.

We need to establish a hierarchy within my harem so we’re having a competition of dominance. It’s necessary to establish order, trust me.

You can use it to re-create all the Amon scenes in Tokyo Ghoul, but with a chibi Dick with muscles and a cross that sometimes get really angry about injustice.

That sounds like a sequel to The Penisman

About your post, I don't think you are blind at all. It is just that, from a person's perspective with a specific ship, almost anything is a big deal plus at least this confirms that Touka has some feelings for Kaneki. I do not believe she loves him tho. As Kaneki realized, the offering was just to try to take off his mind from dying. Ishida did a very good job at masking the depressive side in this conversation.

Yeah I understand, and I want to try to look at it from an objective viewpoint so here’s mostly what I’m thinking about this whole situation (trying to be objective here but there will probably be some inevitable bias.)

It’s pretty clear at this point that Touka has feelings for Kaneki and I’m not disputing that, however, I don’t think those same feelings are coming from his side. He’s clearly lonely and depressed and the last thing on his mind is getting into a relationship; it would be too much for him to handle on top of everything else apart from anything, and with the mental and emotional state he’s in, I can see it being damaging to Touka as well (Touka would be the one doing all of the giving and not getting very much in return because Kaneki is too preoccupied with himself and what he wants.)

Kaneki’s back in :re with most of the people he cared for and is trying to protect, but like he told Akira just last chapter, he still feels lonely. There’s something in him that has to be fixed which I don’t think can be done through something as simple as any sort of relationship right now.

It’s like someone else said; he was pretty much just being polite to her (what else would you expect from Kaneki?) and it didn’t seem to me like he had much interest in pursuing anything with her. Though I believe the conversation this chapter between the two of them did bring them closer together and probably helped them form a better understanding of eachother, I still think Kaneki just views her as someone very important to him, just not in a romantic sense.

I really hope that Touka becomes a little more aware of what he’s really coping with though because, honestly, this is one major major reason I don’t like this ship and think it would be unhealthy; out of all the people Kaneki cares for now, I’m pretty sure Touka is the one who has hit him the most. As a survivor of abuse from those closest to him, his perception of what a healthy relationship is like must be distorted because of the way he was treated by his parental figures. He believed that his mother loved him and he loved her too but she beat him and perhaps he subconsciously (or consciously?) just assumes that’s just part of being loved. If he gets into a relationship with Touka, I feel like that only reinforces his belief that being hurt by the people you love is normal, and maybe even an expression of affection. Needless to say, that’s incredibly unhealthy and damaging, especially to someone with his mental and emotional state.

Though I realistically would much rather see Kaneki and Touka stay very close friends rather than lovers (mostly because I think their relationship would hold so much more value this way), if Ishida does decide to get them together in the future, I think they both still need to undergo some drastic development. As the relationship stands now, it would be unhealthy for them both, especially with how one sided Touka’s attention to him is, and I would much prefer that they come to understand eachother and love and value eachother as very close friends, partly for Touka’s sake as well since I think her character has really been devolving since this whole thing started.

If anyone has anything to add, please do; I’d love to have a discussion about this.

Hide Au where he is a Student that lived only as a small child in Japan, but then left to live in another country. Now he returns and his japanese is not that good, but he tries his best and convinces his classmate, Kaneki, to improve his japanese in exchange for him teaching Kaneki english. Plot twist: they both knew eachother as children, but they kind of forgot.

Oh my gosh, I love this idea so much.Imagine Hide having an accent when he speaks Japanese. Kaneki would probably find it cute, and Hide would probably find his accent cute too :PI love the idea of them finding words neither of them know in the other language and they sort of swap words sometimes. Hide would probably listen to Japanese music to help him and maybe read to Kaneki in English once he understands more of it.

Imagine the moment they find out they knew eachother before; it’s like fate brought them back together (’:
