Ultimately, no. Kaneki's current state is not Touka's fault, and blaming her is grossly unfair when under other circumstances it wouldn't have been a bad thing. That he got the push to keep fighting to survive so he could see her again isn't much different than him getting his push to keep fighting Arima when he thought of Hide.

The blame lies with Furuta for setting this all up, and with Kaneki himself for not learning from his mistakes. Had Kaneki not tried to go things alone and taken all the burden onto himself, he might not have ended up this way. He got manipulated into this mess, with his flaws exploited and the people he cares about used against him.

This game of playing Hide and Touka against each other is kind of silly, when ultimately those two are foils that balance each other out in terms of Kaneki. It doesn't have to be the constant fight to tear one down for the sake of the other, it's honestly kind of misogynistic and/or homophobic that fandom keeps doing that.
