Yes, cool designs do not make a better character. Yes, it's odd and a little sad that Mutsuki did not get a picture for his birthday (though like many others in this thread have suggested, that may be because Ishida wants to avoid controversy). And I see that I was wrong about a few things- I apologize for that, I'm not very involved in the Tokyo Ghoul fandom and I don't like twitter so that's probably why.

I also agree that Uta is not an extremely fleshed out character, but you seem to be forgetting that he is with the Clowns (automatically interesting character to theorize about considering the Clowns' hedonistic tendencies) and was basically plot twist personified in the first series. There are people who like Uta simply because of his quirks and because we never know what he'll do next, then there are people who just think he looks (and acts) like a badass. You're free to dislike him and express why you do, but you don't have to be rude about it.

And one last thing- this isn't really as big a deal as you make it out to be. Mutsuki is a great character and I'm very fond of him, but why make such a fuss over one missed birthday? It's not like Ishida has been avoiding it on purpose. Messing up a character's storyline/development, reducing their involvment in the plot or handling certain things (like Mutsuki being transgender) in an offensive way are things worth getting angry about. Said character not getting a piece of art for their birthday is not.
