Anon, calm down. There's no reason to hate people over this and if you are seriously getting that upset about it.....then you're taking things way too seriously.

However, I am going to disagree with you on things. In this series, things are RARELY simple and this is one more situation where such blurring of lines has occurred. While there are questions concerning how genuine some of the relationships he has actually are (Arima, Kuramoto) there are others that are very clearly strong bonds he treasures. He has been Akira's partner for two years, and while we aren't sure what would happen if push comes to shove, I think writing that bond off is a mistake.

And the Quinx are clearly people he loves dearly, just as much as he cared for the Anteiku staff and his own group. Look at chapter 13, and how his wish is that no matter what happens, he will continue to remember them. Honestly, I think you are projecting some very negative/false ideas about the Quinx that does not reflect what we actually see. Shirazu and Mutsuki worry for him, but also do care about him. This last chapter, we learned that Mutsuki doesn't fear Sasaki at all -- but rather fears suffering like he has. Shirazu just worries about losing him, if Sasaki regains his memories. And to Saiko, he is pretty much her surrogate parent. Urie is the problem child, but I think as his arrogance comes back to bite him they will come to an understanding.

Besides that, Juuzou is very clearly his friend. He's already shown that he remembers who Kaneki is, and his brutal honesty means that their friendship is a real thing.

Both sides are valid. I know as fans of the original series, of course we have a soft spot for the other side of things. But I think too many fans are ignoring the kind of person Kaneki/Sasaki is, someone that accepts people into his heart and has had many different groups that mean the world to him. I don't think regaining his memories will make him suddenly throw away the bonds he has formed, nor cause those that truly care to just turn on him.

There's going to be conflict, to be sure. I think he's going to be torn and struggle with his conflicted loyalties.
