I think anon-kun means that Kaneki isn't your average shounen protagonist, in that he's heavily emotionally affected by everything that happens in the series, whereas Goku or Ichigo or whoever would just be like "WELP SAVED THE WORLD LUL GOIN' BACK TO MIDDLE SCHOOL." Though I don't think he's a deconstruction and I think we're seeing a move toward more "real" protagonists like Kaneki in anime as a whole.
