IMHO what Touka is doing in :re is much more "out of character" and "cliche". I am not disappointed because Touka is no longer strong, but because she's totally fine with losing everything and doesn't even care about it anymore, whereas before she was shown to become extremely emotional when losing someone she loved. Now it's just "meh, Kaneki's alive, big deal, I'll speak to him whenever he regains his memories, even though he's being brainwashed by the CCG and being used as an attack dog, making the chance for that very slim".

Some of the most persistent relationships are those that slowly and gradually get built up, not those where you randomly "feel like that person over there is the right one". By the end of TG it was very obvious that there were a lot of fellings shared between them. They actually truly loved each other, there was no need to state it. Rize and Kaneki we never "in love", Kaneki just liked her looks and that was about it.

That said, trust me, people see a lot more in Touka than a "love interest". I actually want her and Kaneki to be together because they both deserve it. They deserve that happiness. She's not just "the girl that the MC gets in the end".

Now that I read halfway through your comment I realise that you actually are a Touka fan that's just angry about her current situation. In that, I agree with you that Touka's extremely passive position currently is a massive pity, but she's definitely got something going between her and Kaneki. You are probably just denying it because you are venting, but still.
