My comments were not directed at you specifically BlazeUchiha but generally at everybody who have suddenly decided to take a stance on Gin x Rangiku based on the last chapter. I mean, another way to look at what happened is that Gin chose his captain over his old friend (leaving aside whatever else they may be as that's speculation). He's not the first vice-captain to do so.

Let's not forget that Kira attacked Hinamori and was ready to kill her because of Gin, his captain. Hinamori herself was ready to turn her blade on Hitsugaya (and Kira) for Aizen's sake. Plus Renji's, who has only been Byakuya's lieutenant for a month, initial reaction was to turn on Rukia per Byakuya's command. It's not like Rangiku would ever choose Gin over Hitsugaya herself.

So another way, and perhaps a better way, of looking at the Gin and Rangiku interaction is not that Gin doesn't love Rangiku or doesn't care about Rangiku but that he simply choose his captain over her, just like she would have chosen her captain over him.

Whatever Aizen might be, but at the end of the day Aizen is the Captain Gin served since when he was a little boy and has been close to for over a 100 years. That kind of loyalty doesn't count for nothing you know.
