You are weird. You come here to obviously provoke other shippers and then you go on to state how everyone is allowed to ship whatever they want. That's very hypocritical of you. As to yaoi ships, well, normally those have a very, very shoddy basis, from the likes of "these characters met once, they must love each other". In most cases even obvious hints to a character's sexuality (for example Tsukiyama stating that he loved Touka in the past) are ignored for the sake of those ships. I see no need to discuss characters from other animes, but there's been no evidence for any of the characters you mentioned actually being gay. I believe I've made my point, although I do not see how this is in any way relevant to the conversation. What does matter to the conversation, however, is that there have been signficant hints for the existence of a mutual relationship between the two - first off, Touka was the only person Kaneki didn't accept the help off, thus protecting her from a dangerous lifestyle to which he even subjected the young Hinami. That's something. Then, he actually tolerated her behaviour towards him at the bridge, whereas I am fairly certain that he would've killed anyone else. Finally as Haise in the coffee shop he literally cried upon seeing her and thought about how he "probably had a beautiful person like that in his life". There are probably more clues that I am missing right now, but it's been a while since I've read the manga and it is a pretty vast work of art, after all.

IMHO a steadily built-up, emotionally based relationship feels a lot less forced than two characters who've been actively hating each other for the rest of the series to randomly fall in love after a bloody, vicious battle. Whatever floats your boat I guess.
