"Crush" is a pretty loose word for admiration I think. That's sort of how I use it, to describe someone who has feelings somewhere between admiration and infatuation, but isn't "in love". Does...that make sense? Like, I've always considered Kaneki to have had a "celebrity crush" on Eto back when he only knew her Takatsuki Sen. He admired her, thought she was beautiful, gushed about her work, and enjoyed talking to her. He had a "crush" on her the way a fan does for a celebrity they really like.

Idk if that's what the person who wrote that entry had in mind, but that's how I describe his past feelings. "Celebrity crush".
