Love Is a Weakness	comment	Love can make you do stupid, irrational things, and if you happen to be a good person, can make you susceptible to the Dark Side. Things you'd never in your sane mind do. Whether hero or villain and whether or not they can actually have the object of their affections, if they can't have them, or if they even try to, love is forsaken because it's an undesirable weakness. These people often try to separate themselves from their loved one, try to remove the feeling, or, in an extreme case, a villain may choose to kill off the one they love. If the object of their affections loves them anyway knowing their turmoil, they become a Love Martyr. Unlike a Celibate Hero, this person can be someone who does fall in love—but doesn't want to. This trope is invoked to avoid any number of Love Hurts tropes — especially if a villain decides to take advantage of it in the meantime. If a villain decides to finally accept the love and it's not reciprocated, it might be Sex Is Evil, and I Am Horny, Stalker with a Crush, or Mad Love. Requited, they may also be redeemed through the Power of Love, or an Unholy Matrimony may be born. If a hero was wrong about love, a Happily Ever After might be in store. While gender-neutral in terms of occurrence, this trope often has a very different flavor if the subject is male or female: a male character believing this is often a Celibate Hero or an asexual thinking poorly of romance in general and usually has never been in a relationship. By contrast, a female character is usually a Broken Bird who was shattered so hard by previous relationships that she doesn't want one anymore. If the character is a villain, gender usually has no impact on their reasoning. A variation of Allergic to Love. Related to It's Not You, It's My Enemies, where a hero gives up the love of their life so the Big Bad can't strike at them through their Love Interest. Subtrope of Virtue Is Weakness. Contrast to In Love with Love.

It's implied Nene went to her death willingly out of love for him. He ends up imparting his ideals upon Katsuie in the fourth game, telling him that he must rid himself of his feelings for Oichi and end her if he ever wishes to become an equal to him and Nobunaga.

Love Is a Weakness / int_109f7814	comment	The second series of Sherlock puts the emphasis on this. Sherlock considers love a "dangerous disadvantage". When he starts to develop affection for his friends and allies, it inevitably gets used against him. Speaking of Mycroft, he shares a similar outlook (and is even more jaded than his brother) and as demonstrated above, attempts to impart his detachment onto Sherlock. However, as several characters have discovered, Mycroft is not immune because anything that threatens Sherlock is his "pressure point".

Love Is a Weakness / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: In Dragon Age: Origins, Morrigan grows intensely fearful of her strengthening feelings for the Warden and repeatedly begs him to end their relationship to stop future suffering. At one point, Leliana expresses certainty that Morrigan must be happy to be in love: her response is the page quote. Only at the very end of the game will she relent and fully accept the Warden's feelings while admitting her own. Inverted in Witch Hunt, where the Warden has traveled across Ferelden in their attempts to find her again, leading Morrigan to note the ironic role reversal between them. Also, a romanced Zevran will eventually grow uncomfortable with how strongly he feels about the Warden, even refusing to sleep with him/her at one point because he realizes he is in love and everything he's ever been taught tells him this is wrong. Wynne will warn any Warden in any relationship that Love Is A Weakness, asking them what they would do if it came to a choice between saving the world and saving their love. She does, however, eventually change her mind and apologize if the love interest's relationship reaches love - even if it's with Morrigan, of all people. Dragon Age II has hedonistic pirate Isabela tell Hawke she's wary of relationships getting too serious. It just gets in the way of her need for self-preservation. You can agree, keeping the sex casual, or set about changing her mind about this trope over the course of the story. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, depending on your choices, Morrigan has seemingly changed her stance on this trope. If she was romanced by the male Warden, they are essentially happily married and she found their time raising their son together to be very fulfilling. She does say it's not quite the typical family life but admits she didn't expect to have anything approaching a normal relationship. Quite the turn around from Origins, where she angrily compared love to a deadly disease.

Love Is a Weakness / int_2a8d8e6f	comment	Gotham: After his mother has been murdered by the Galavans, Oswald "The Penguin" Cobblepot sinks into depression before Edward "The Riddler" Nygma stumbles upon him in the woods and nurses him back to health, interested in Cobblepot's experience with murder. He eventually manages to get Penguin to re-embrace his dark side by describing his love for her as his one weakness, and her being out of his life might ultimately be a good thing since it means he can truly be The Unfettered. This example ultimately ends up being a deconstruction, however; while both villains claim they believe this, they still go on to form attachments to various other characters throughout the show, including each other. This bites them both spectacularly in the ass and ends up being their pitfall several times, but by the end of the series they decide not to betray each other again because their partnership makes them stronger.

Love Is a Weakness / int_526d4c5c	comment	Knights of the Old Republic: Ironically both the Jedi and Sith share this mentality regarding love. The Jedi teach that love is a dangerous attachment that can ultimately lead to the Darkside. The Sith teach that love is a weakness that others can exploit and its influence can undermine the negative emotions they harness. Jolee Bindo disagrees strongly with the Jedi Order's stance on love. He believes the Jedi should teach how to handle and safeguard against the negative elements of relationships rather than avoid them altogether. Ultimately he believes love will not condemn you, it will save you. Whilst being courted, Bastila Shan reiterates the Jedi stance that love is a vice she must rise above but it becomes very clear she is falling for the Player Character. However, it's up to your own choices if you prove her warnings about love right or wrong. A Darkside romance plays it very straight as she becomes your Dark Mistress whilst you conquer the galaxy, whereas a Lightside romance does in fact redeem her.

Not only does Shinichi Saimori make it clear that he never loved her, but he believes that love is a useless emotion and that he only cares about what he can get from Miyo. While not stated, it is heavily implied that his so-called love for his other daughter, Kaya Saimori, is very conditional, and he couldâ€™ve easily felt disdain for Kaya if he had also deemed her useless.

Indeed, this comes into play in his A support with Matthew, who, as part of his revenge on Jaffar for killing his girlfriend Leila, has his associates capture her as blackmail and says that he'll have her killed if Jaffar doesn't let Matthew kill him. Jaffar agrees to this plan almost immediately, despite being very capable of trying to kill Matthew instead, as demonstrated in their B support.

Played with in regards to Jedi characters. Jedi can initiate romances just fine, but acting overly selfish or possessive (like doing a one-night stand or choosing to spend time with their significant other over saving the galaxy) will net them dark side points. But also played straight by Darth Malgus, who had murdered his Twi'lek wife because he realized his enemies could exploit his attachment to her.

Due to the hero business being a very competitive field, Uraraka feels her more-than-platonic emotions toward Midoriya would inhibit her goal of becoming the best hero she could be, and thus gaining income for her parents. As such, Uraraka suppresses those feelings towards Midoriya. However, it's evident that this is a temporary thing and Uraraka is just delaying a larger revelation about him.

Kyousuke believes that love on his part would only hinder him from his desire to kill the White Queen, though he doesn't see it as a weakness for anyone else. This stems from the fact that his first love, the White Queen, killed an enormous number of people (including his adoptive family) and is responsible for the current state of the world. Additionally, since the White Queen is a massive Yandere, anyone else he tried to have a relationship with would be at serious risk of a Fate Worse than Death.

He felt it was a distraction, and used time and resources that could be spent on whatever God wanted them to do. His biggest beef was with the Christians that completely banned marriage (since people would start having sex outside of it, which is considered a sin), and the Christians that mandated it (since it would be unfair for people like him).

Love Is a Weakness / int_aa4ce711	comment	Bridgerton: Anthony Bridgerton used to think this way about love, thus he decided to go against marrying for love. Because, he was still traumatized over witnessing his mother fell into a great depression to the point of suicidal following his father's tragic sudden death and also due to a heartbreak after breaking up with his long-time mistress, Siena Rosso, in season 1. In season 2, upon meeting Kate Sharma and realized to have fallen in love with her, he spends the entire season trying his best denying and fighting his feelings for her out of fear of another heartbreak. However, he failed as he's unable to resist his getting-stronger feelings for Kate, thus he decides to marry her.

Love Is a Weakness / int_af78f667	comment	Danzo's belief in this is what makes The Kakashi Way a Dramedy despite being about an adult Sasuke accidentally pulling a Peggy Sue and deciding to make the best of things. While Sasuke swiftly curb-stomps Danzo and exposes his treachery to the Sandaime, much of the story's drama and angst stems from delving into Danzo's personal records and learning just how far he was willing to go to achieve his goals. Including sabotaging the lives of anyone he deemed to be a threat to his plans by targeting their "weaknesses", as he's revealed to have had a hand in many of the myriad personal tragedies others faced. Take Kakashi's father being Driven to Suicide, for instance, or what happened to Obito at the Kannabi bridge, or the deaths of Tsunade's little brother Nawaki and her lover Dan. All partially Danzo's handiwork.

If she was romanced by the male Warden, they are essentially happily married and she found their time raising their son together to be very fulfilling. She does say it's not quite the typical family life but admits she didn't expect to have anything approaching a normal relationship. Quite the turn around from Origins, where she angrily compared love to a deadly disease.

Her parents were Happily Married and her mother crumbled completely when he died - in other words made her weak. In the first book, she more or less says outright that she needs to keep an emotional distance from Peeta to protect herself from that kind of weakness. Romantic love would also lead to marriage and children and she believes maternal love to be an even greater weakness, desperately wanting to protect herself from being a mother on Reaping Day. As revealed with the prequel novel, Coriolanus Snow, the main villain of the original series and Villain Protagonist of the prequel, also subscribes into this belief as well after Lucy Gray left him out of disgust about his true colors.

Love Is a Weakness / int_de6659ec	comment	Once Upon a Time: Played straight with the villains; in the second episode, Regina says this to Maleficient. "Love is weakness, Maleficent. I thought you knew that." Cora, Regina's mother, tells Regina this after she kills Regina's boyfriend, a nice Meaningful Echo to Regina saying it in the earlier episode Cora says it again, this time to Emma, but it doesn't quite go as she expected: Emma does a No-Sell to Cora's heart-stealing attack, and is able to repel it by quietly retorting that love is strength because Emma is basically the embodiment of True Love. Rumplestiltskin rejects Belle's love because it will cost him his power, and rages to Regina through a mirror, saying "You think you could make me weak? YOU THINK YOU COULD DEFEAT ME!?" In his case, love as a weakness is quite literal; true love's kiss would have broken the curse that made him the Dark One, and he would have been an ordinary, mortal man. A crippled one, no less. Later on in season two, Regina points out that Gold has a disadvantage against Cora now because he has Belle and therefore has something to lose. Cora herself was first told this by her father-in-law, King Xavier. The villains regularly claim that love is a weakness, while the heroes insist it is strength. Interestingly, young Regina was the one that first told Snow White (and was possibly the first one to say it) "True love is the most powerful magic of all."

Both rooftops are rigged to blow and Kessler left Cole with enough time to save either Trish or the doctors, but not both. Regardless of the player's choice, Trish dies (if you choose to save Trish instead of the doctors, she will be a decoy and the real Trish will be with the doctors). At first, Kessler seems to be teaching Cole to value The Needs of the Many over his own desires since the doctors can save many more lives, but it goes deeper than that. After Cole defeats Kessler, he learns that Kessler is a futuristic version of Cole who traveled back in time to train his past self to defeat a Beast who would eventually come and destroy the world. Kessler failed to stop the Beast in his timeline because he was too concerned about his family's safety to fight back and fled with them. So Kessler killed Trish, his future wife, so that Cole wouldn't be held back by his desire to protect his loved ones.
