Kaneki's Mom always said: Don't inconvenience others, it's better to be hurt yourself, then hurt others.

Tooru's Dad symbolizes another side of the coin: Hurt the ones standing lower then yourself, use them to make your own inconviencing & uselessness seem unimportant; Hurt them to make yourself feel better.

Kaneki is followed by a complex where he rather is the victim himself or the one to take on the burden of others. His mom's ideology is still carved inside him, even though he dissaproves off it himself.

Tooru rejects everything his father stood for and took it upon herself to punish everyone doing something similar. She dissaproves of the abuse, but ends up doing it herself as well.

Different situations, similar troubled conciousness.
