Do you think Kaneki would want to have kids? If the thing about him being intersex and infertile (post/142106656180/okay-so-in-bio-if-two-species-can-even) is true then that’s a perfect opportunity for more tragedy….

Kaneki adores children, and children adore him in return. He was equated as the foster mother to the Quinx, and was so happy about that. But do I personally think that (current) Kaneki would want children, offspring of his own flesh and blood? God no

He’s already worried about becoming a person like his mother, and bringing any child into the world, especially a child with ghoulish traits, would be a scary experience for him and his child, even in the future is he manages to sort some things out. 

So for now, nope not at all

I gotta say, I’m really surprised at the amount of people who seem to think that Kaneki would be delighted at the idea of having kids. Even as Haise, he was still afraid of giving guidance or taking any form of disciplinary action towards his ‘kids’. After doing so, he would usually choose to meet with/defer to his ‘parents’: Arima and Akira. He’s really afraid of parenting. 

Both past and present, Kaneki is clearly spooked by his ‘big brother’ role towards Hinami. Haise was not only shaken by having his identity mistaken, but also by Hinami referring to him as ‘big brother’. In the latest chapters, he’s chosen to use Hinami as an outlet for his suicidal urges, just like his mother did for ‘family’ (ie. her sister). 

Most of the parental figures in Kaneki’s life have tried to kill him, are tasked with killing him, or have thoroughly abused him.

As Kaneki, he took the rather extreme action of leaving the Quinx Squad and refusing to contact them directly. It’s likely that his enhanced fear of parenthood played a role in this. He only willingly spoke to Urie, the member who least considered him to be a parental figure. Even then, he wound up reflecting his own abuse onto Urie.

Family frightens him. It’s one of his core traits as a character. One could even argue that it was part of the reason he pursued Rize, somebody so clearly out of his league. It’s just… 

No. Kaneki doesn’t want kids. Kaneki will probably never have his own children. It could be argued that, with the possibility of Kaneki being intersex or his ghoul transformation as allegory for being intersex, his infertility is a very intentional thing.
