As someone who saw the anime first and then moved on to the manga, that moment of Touka's training was an utter shock for me. I used to really like her and she was my favourite character but I was so puzzled at that scene at the time I started feeling quite negatively about her for a while. That is, after I had already established a bond with the character and considered her good. I still can't excuse what she did but somehow in my eyes it's more acceptable than what Arima did. I never liked Arima in the first place, so it's natural to just resent him for what he does. You can't really blame the fanbase for hating Arima IMHO. That aside, Touka and Kaneki were already friends and we know that she was trying to help him, albeit in a really messed up way. In contrast, from my point of view Arima is nothing more than someone who robbed Kaneki off of his own body and forced this Haise persona on him, which he then proceeded to mold into his own, living weapon. I am sure that you see my point now, even though you may disagree with it. Eventually, if Ishida gives an explanation to Arima's actions, then the part of the fanbase that hates him might forgive him. Until then, it's only natural for that part to resent him. Cheers.
