I'm actually not that bothered by Hides backstory, him focusing so much on Kaneki, sure I'd embrace it, ultimatly leading to a better understanding of his character (and seeing if I figured stuff out before canon explains it) and more info abt/screentime for my fav character, but at the end for me he's the only character who's hyperfixation on Kaneki makes sense imho, since we have a build up that these two only had each other for the most part of their life. People like Hinami, Touka and Shuu? All have other things in life, other friends etc. getting that hung up on Kaneki doesnt do their characters much good and is also disregarding their loving families and friends etc. Hide is as much abt Kaneki as Kaneki is abt Hide I dont think it rly takes away from either character. Hide and Kaneki wouldnt be themselfes anymore at this point if they werent so much abt the other bc theyve grown so much together early on that theyre basically a set. Of course I agree that it would be healthier for them to have more independent relationships from each other (especially hide cause I love his interactions with the CCG ppl and wished he could have more established relationships with them) And as I said I think him prioritizing Kaneki is part of what makes Hide so succesessfull bc he focuses on one thing the narrative rewards as much as punishes him accordingly, Kaneki who cant stay true to one thing or another and ultimatly himself constantly gets screwed over.

I also dont really see the need to pit them against each other since imo Hide has no compitition, thats why I'm so suprised ppl bring Touka up so much and treat her as an equal than shes not, so I'm forced to compare them and ppl get upset bc I disagree with them. (I mean if wed make it abt gender again we wouldnt even have that ridiculous discussion if Hides feelings are romantic if he was a girl which I'd love personally cause he'd be good rep) I dont see how I supposly demonize Touka when I judge her on her canon actions and how canon frames her, how's that my fault?

Hide has huge intellect and perceptiveness, which makes him naturally a great detective, though i doubt this huge awareness is sth that came naturally to him with intelligence you can be born but putting that into sth useful is another thing (i think of the garden children who are naturally superstrong but are killers bc they are forced to fight from early on - hence whats hides backstory), he also tends to focus on one thing at a time and if he finds sth he likes he can stick with it (Kaneki, English) I dont think anything fell into his lap compared to kaneki who had set up a throne for him to take by Eto and Arima. He needed 3-4 years to get were he is now which might be not a lot time for his archivements but it is a lot of time in general. Its the product of hard work, timing and dedication.

That "hes one more person" is an argument that bothers me, bc hes not another person who cares abt Kaneki he's the first one who did and did it for years, I'm perplexed that people are bothered abt him so much but not abt others bc it makes the most sense for him with the backstory we already have, with the backstory we will get it will probably just emphazise it/gives us a better understanding ... but like ppl are so hung up on that when they dont look twice Mutsuki, Saiko, Shuu etc.
