lol, I can see how something like that might. I get where the OP is coming from though. I don't think they're so much bothered about Touka being made love-struck and helpless so much that they're bothered about Touka being made love-struck and helpless just to trick the audience.

The studio subverted the audience' expectations in a not so savory way. The "TouKen" was escalated by fixating more on Touka's feelings for Kaneki and having her run through a battle field for three episodes straight to find him, then at the last minute made it all about Kaneki and Hide. It was a rather transparent way to subvert expectations and it was at Touka's expense. I can see why some are unhappy with this outcome.
