So there are the living zombies, the ghouls, with super powers who prey upon normal people, they eat them to survive.
Then there are the people who kill the ghouls..
And the ghouls are the good guys and the ghoul killers are bad guys.

Like, one guy killed a ghoul girl's mother and stuff and I was supposed to feel sad for the kid. But I couldn't because that kid is a monster who ****ing eats people. It hasn't yet, but if it ever feels that hunger then you don't have a kid anymore. It's a time bomb, all of them are. And we're supposed to root for them. I don't understand it.
"Why are you killing us! It's not our fault we have to eat people!" lmao sorry but you still have to be killed because you eat people.

Uh, there are bad ghouls and good ghouls and the good ghouls just eat the humans who are already dead. Also the fact that the MC is a mixture makes it interesting, no?

Wait... you didn't feel anything for the mom?

Then again I don't expect someone whose fave's Kabuto to have a common reaction.

I didn't finish it. I only liked 3 characters anyway. One had very little screen time, the other fought the ghouls, and one was a very well dressed ghoul lol

Just the thought of those things walking around is not good. If they eat dead bodies, great. How many of them can keep that up? How many starve themselves for that? Even if a cannibistic superman can control himself, he's still a cannobalistic superman. Not to mention I think most of them are just feral animals.
The MC didn't interest me, no u_u
No, and I was rooting for *spoiler about a fight*
Amon to kill the kid and Touka(?) too.
May be terrible of me to say but holy shit they're monsters. Amon is a monster too but at least he doesn't eat people.

Try to put yourself in their shoes, I guess. Also, give it more of a try, it gets a lot better.

I honestly don't see why you would cheer for Amon, he seems less human to me than they do.

Also, how can you be a feral animal if you're suppressing the most basic of instincts?

If they're not hurting anyone (can't hurt the dead) then they are good.

If I were in their shoes I'd be miserable. Me being in their shoes wouldn't change me being a monster, no matter how much self control I may or may not have.

Yeah, I root for Amon too. He's a terrible sadist but dammit he's not so different from the people he's fighting. Monsters against monsters, and I prefer the one who won't possibly devour me in a blood frenzy.
And despite what I've been saying, Tsukiyama Shuu and Mask Maker are undeniably cool.

Actually this is one of the reasons I like Tokyo Ghoul, there is no good or bad side. Each side has their good and each side has their bad, but neither side is truly in the right or truly in the wrong.

I don't have a 100% black and white view of it either. It's more like a 95% black and white view. I recognize they have feelings and it's hard for the good ghouls to get by. But I think it'd be safer and better for everyone involved if they just stopped being alive.

Okay, so does the fact that they are "monsters" change the quality of the show? Why are we not monsters for eating animals to survive? Your logic makes no sense.

That's the same way white supremacists feel about Muslims and Blacks, sure it's an extreme comparison, but the thinking is the same.

Whoops, I've been calling Mado Amon. I was talking about Mado the whole time. He's a monster, Amon is aight.

You are messing the whole point of the show and it's funny because you sound stoooopid...

Much like parasyte the maxim , the point of the show is that we humans eat animals and consider ourselves at the top of the food chain but when something comes on top of us they are killers and must be wiped out !
In this show , there are no bad ones or good ones trying to put it that way is like saying all pirates in one piece are bad and all the marines are good which is clearly not true !

Are you trying to tell me you never ate an animal before ? No ? LIAR
Its the same thing , you eat animals they eat humans !

That's the same way white supremacists feel about Muslims and Blacks, sure it's an extreme comparison, but the thinking is the same.

Because I don't stalk highly intelligent animals with the intention of shredding them to pieces to sate my hunger and boner for blood like Ghouls do to humans. Besides, I'm looking out for what I am, I'm looking out for humans. Yes humans are bad creatures, but that doesn't mean I'm okay with the forfeiting of human life so a monster can be happy.

It'd be the same way if Muslims and blacks infiltrated societies to stalk and devour people. White supremacists' hatred of other people is born from ignorance and non-truths. My disliking for ghouls is born from the absolute fact of what they are.

See above. I don't care if humans do it to other animals because A) they're not on the same level as we are. The only differences between a ghoul and a human are ghouls have super powers and they eat people. And B), I'm a human. So I care more for fellow humans than I do for ghouls who eat humans.

I don't want to offend but you seem a little like a sociopath. Your fave is Kabuto and judging by this thread you see things more objectively and the fact that they look and feel just like humans isn't enough for you to cheer them on.

They're just on the top of the food chain is all. You make it seem like intelligence matters in nature when it doesn't. It doesn't give you some high ranking or anything. It's a part of nature for the ghouls to eat humans just like it is for us to eat animals. I guess even though what they do is gross in our eyes, it's understandable to most of the fans. Clearly you have a harder time relating. Of course if they were real I would agree though but I would still have empathy towards them.

Lol, we're not on the same level as Ghouls so why should they care? The fact that they suppress themselves is very noble.
