Hey, FE, do you mind if I change it back to what it was before our philosopher friend went to work on it? Namely:
I reject your morality, and substitute my own.
—>Visit unabridged version HERE. Not that you would ever understand it.
It catches the "rejects societal norms in favor of his own code" part, and I think that's kind of important.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
Sure.
I am now feeling some angst about dudes who have read some Nietzsche who want to visit their thoughts upon us. My sense of humor has been crushed under the onslaught of syllables piled on top of codicils and niggling discretions.

I just thought it was hilarious, myself, that he tried so valiantly to condense Nietzsche and apparently never even read the trope page. So dedicated and so ineffective. Like watching a baby try to walk.

May I suggest that the link at the bottom of the page read "Last Men can visit the unabridged page here."

Would that mean anything to folks who aren't well acquainted with Nietzsche?
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

Probably not, no. I also see that the main page no longer has that discussion of the Last Man being the opposite trope, so never mind then.

I see the Awesomeness.
We should start a page called Get Your Essay On and post a link to Blogspot or something for these guys.
Fight smart, not fair.

Chuckle. I think this thread is done, then. Locking.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
I didn't spot any problems with the article itself at first glance, but the laconic version is longer than the actual trope description and seems unnecessarily negative. Could use a rewrite by someone who knows the concept better than I do.
