I'd also prefer it if Hide was human all along, but I don't think that theory sufficiently supports everything that happened so far. Like he has amazing observation, navigation skills, etc. - that could be excused, I guess, and we can say he's still a human. What I can't accept is V14. To me that whole thing just doesn't prove he's human. There was no way he could navigate V14 and just miraculously avoid ghouls on his way. Pretty sure the only way he could know where to go is if he could smell ghouls and it's also been repeatedly implied that he is "incredibly perceptive" / "has a good nose," by Nishio, Kaneki and even Hide himself. I honestly have so much more to add, but whatever. Just saying that if Hide was a ghoul, everything can be explained, like 100%. That's also why I thought he was Scarecrow, bc him being Scarecrow explains a lot, and turns out it was right. He doesn't look like he'd be Scarecrow and he turned out to be him. Likewise, he doesn't seem like a ghoul at all, yet he might be.

Also, Ishida never actually hinted that Hide was human in any way, not necessarily, like yes, he was shown eating meat and passing CCG gates, but we know ghouls can do those things. But there had been many implications that he was a ghoul. And Ishida has been dropping hints in re left and right: the "I'm a ghoul" thing in the first chapter remake. And lastly, the C rating. That's the weakest type of ghoul but then again, no C rated ghoul can block a knife from Suzuya.
