Honestly, I don't get where everyone is getting the idea that Kaneki is now some evil sociopath that doesn't care about anyone.

There is zero evidence that he has lost his memories of the last few years, as he seems very aware of what is going on around him. His anger towards Kanae and Eto seems to confirm this, since both have spent the last several months tormenting him.

His stabbing Tsukiyama doesn't prove anything. He not only reassures him, but also is well-aware of what Tsukiyama is capable of enduring. He's very familiar with Tsukiyama's limitations, so would know that such an injury is something he could recover from. But it does prevent him from having to worry about a third party involved during his battle with Eto.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy any of this "Evil Kaneki" hype. I think it is fans buying into hype, and not remembering that he behaved in a similar fashion during the Aogiri Arc. He's rightful angry, traumatized, and facing a life-and-death situation against the monster that has ruined so many lives. I think the chances that he is going to continue acting this way once the crisis passes are pretty slim, considering both his established patterns of behavior 'and Ishida making a point of telling us explicitly that his brain scans showed the portion of the brain responsible for Empathy is highly developed.

He's not going to take losing Shirazu well, considering how he tends to deal with losses. And he blew off Shirazu wanting to talk, telling him they would talk later. That's going to hurt a lot.
