Ah, well. You know that saying about leading to water and all that.

I suppose it's painfully clear that you aren't willing to listen to the viewpoints of others, and made your mind up long ago.

Though it's kind of gross and misogynistic to dismiss a female character down to being a mere "tool" and laying all blame on her for a situation she had no control over. It's unfortunately a common problem in fandom, needing to tear down a female character to shore up a preferred male character particularly where shipping is involved. It's especially troubling in cases like this, where people feel the need to viciously pit two characters with a good relationship against each other. I wish it didn't surprise me, but I've seen it constantly in the 15 years I've been involved with fandoms.

I agree with you there, Dayne. Hide respects Touka as another person important to Kaneki, and made the decision to seek her out as part of whatever grand scheme he's got. And I don't think he would view her as merely "a tool", because in spite of being sneaky and clever as hell.....Hide is also empathetic and doesn't treat people as mere pawns or tools.

I'm not surprised he would seek Touka out and attempt to team up, since the last time they spoke involved their mutual concern and desire to help Kaneki. I wouldn't be surprised if as nosy as he's been all this time, spying on people from a distance, he totally already knows some of the juicy gossip.
