Mate I don't care, you're still making the wrong points.

That seems more like something that applies to yourself. Can you do something else then constantly making Re:crew out to be the victim. It's about the concept that they represent.

But I'll try to go along with your point for now.

You like them to be treaten equally, but they're just simply not equal to the characters you summed up. Ishida can't make it that they die, because they have an insane fanservice value. They're not the critical characters for the continuation of the plot and not the persons Kaneki needs to figure out more about the OEK (those are Arima, Furuta, Rize, Eto, Tatara, Kanou, Shuu's father, ...). Ironically enough the persons that shape the story don't have that plot armor. Why? Because that adds to the tragedy if Kaneki's sources die one by one, either because he didn't have a choice or because they are already killed by someone else. (like Shachi, Kuzen, Karen, ...). Killing Re:crew wouldn't keep the tragedy to the manga alone, but it'll spread like wildfire among the fandom and outside. And there is my problem! If fans like characters, those characters get a herostatus where killing them is out of hte question, even if they're not majorly helpful for the actual main character in giving him the answers he's looking for.

I think it's not the first time you heard of  the saying "enough is enough". We've been kind enough to not get mad immediately and see it as an occasional thing that he pulls to keep characters alive. But he's doing it one time after another lately and it's stacking up. I'm tired to see those things reoccure & he really didn't even try to cover it up a bit in this situation. He at least covered it up better with the ones you were summing up.

Fair enough that you're the bigger person here, since you can see this as something every character at least deserves; a weird decision that saves their live. But I already couldn't have that from the first character where he made such a weird decision for. If you still look at this as if we're aiming for specific characters, you'll never understand the things we dislike about Ishida's choices, but that might be better. You've got your own dislikes to deal with after all, like 'useful' characters almost being killed by a non-shounenlike pattern, something new that you wouldn't be able to explain why the writer would do that.

I appreciate you reading it completely.
