^ That'll be hard, if you don't want to talk with people who point it out. Ofcourse people never get further then the flaws of the character, if you're not even clear about actually aknowledging them. There's no point in starting a debate with a user that idealizes that character, therefore you first need to establish wether or not the user does.

But you've already made up your mind about people that criticize Hide and put them all in one category. It's no use trying to have a rational discussion when I need to do it from the hate-corner you've put me or such users in.

I wish you the best of luck searching for answers on your own. I can only hope you won't find halftruths, so that you don't need to become anymore aggravated by someone bringing up a less positive observation.

1) Why not confront Kaneki? Because he's scared of confronting Kaneki, that's my stance. You might help see new possibilities thanks to your love for the character, but for now that's the best I could come up with that would actually make sense. You could ask ofcourse, can you blame Hide for being scared? No, ofcourse not, but it severely undermines his convincingness when making the grand promise of saving Kaneki now. And we've had enough experience with enough character to know that most big talk ends up failing cuz of the same issues/flaws that a character hasn't yet managed to grow out of.

I wonder what you think Kaneki's reaction would be that Hide would decide not to confront him? To me that's just excuses. Certainly when saying he could've used himself better that time. If Hide is willing to go any type of length for Kaneki, going behind is back is probably the toughest way to reach out to Kaneki of all things, cuz now he's only piling up one mess after the other he'll have to explain to Kaneki eventually, unless he decides to just stay in the shadows forever. Talking to Kaneki and seeing his reaction, then doing his utmost to set things straight as much as possible, seems like the most straightforward and easiest choice practically speaking. Since he rather makes it tough for himself practically, I can only conclude it's an emotional reason that's holding him back here, which is exactly why I say he's afraid to confront Kaneki. Overcoming emotional boundaries is difficult, but taking them on head-on is in many cases the best way to solve it and not prolong the fretting that comes with such an emotional impasse. It's understandable, but not helpful and it's not a problem caused by Kaneki this time. Kaneki is not the source of all problems that other characters are experiencing, he might be the source of quite a few, but every character has their own hurdles to overcome and this is Hide's biggest hurdle.

Illustration: Even though Hide's intuition was that sharp, he never once bothered acting on it. If he had such a bad feeling about Rize, why close it with such a halfassed warning that could easily be interpreted as "That girl will be too much to handle for you aka you're too much of a wuss to deal with her for a long time.". Hide's fear of confrontation withheld him a few times already: Kaneki telling him about Rize, Kaneki wanting to tag along with him & Nishiki, when piecing together the Youko Fueguchi-Kureo Mado incident,... all times that Hide could've prevented certain things from taking place, if he actually was able to be more stern with Kaneki for his own good sometimes. Cuz that's another benefit friends have, someone who isn't afraid to tell you the harsh truth, with the actual best intentions.

So you're severely haughty when you think skepticists don't take that in consideration.
