I think the difference is between simply not being fond of a character, and arguing against canon based on said opinions. Everyone has characters they like and dislike, but as a generalization fandom has a bad habit of projecting those opinions onto the actual relationships in the series.

Claiming the Quinx are a false family that don't actually care is incorrect, since right now they are the most important relationships in Kaneki/Sasaki's life. But like all his previous bonds, there are flaws and questions about "What If". For example, the great flaw in Kaneki's gang was that none of them were willing to oppose his self-destructive behavior. They were all concerned, but remained silent. At Anteiku, one of the biggest issues was not being honest. Likewise, fear and lack of communication plagued Kaneki and Hide's friendship for most of the series.
