I disagree about Eto not being a villain. While a very compelling character, ultimately she remains one of the major villains of the series. Regardless of whether her intentions are ultimately correct, the methods she has used over the years are what make her a villain. Look at what Aogiri did in the 11th Ward, slaughtering innocent Ghouls and enslaving the survivors. She keeps company with people like Yamori and Tatara, who are brutal sadists. And she tortured Shinohara in front of Juuzou, when she could have just killed him. And she kidnapped her father to use for Dr. Kanou's experiments, something we've seen from Rize is pretty horrible. And from comments about the past, we know that she didn't just kill Akira's mother or Urie's father -- she mangled them beyond recognition and most likely tortured them.

While her upbringing is tragic, it really is clear that Eto is a monster. A very damaged one that never had a chance, but she clearly is someone that uses horrible methods to accomplish her goals.
