Would Kill Me Now, or Forever Stay Your Hand also be an inversion of this trope— "I provoke you to kill me, wanting you to do it and prove you're a worse person than you think" vs "I provoke you to kill me, assuming you won't do it, to prove you're a better person than you think"? They seem related but I'm not sure if inversion is the right term.

We have two distinct tropes with similar names: Strike Me Down ("kill me because I don't want to live with the humiliation of having been beaten by you") and Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred! ("kill me and drive yourself toward a Face–Heel Turn").

I propose renaming this one (suggestion: "Give In To Your Hate").

I also propose broadening this one to include non-lethal cases (such as a villain provoking a hero to beat him up for no justifiable reason to prove that they're Not So Different), which don't seem to be covered by an existing trope.
