#2: Initial revision
Avoid killing/raping/otherwise injuring the love interest (particularly a female love interest) just to create [manpain](http://fanlore.org/wiki/Manpain) in your anti-hero. Avoid making the love interest a plot device with no other background, characterization, or purpose than being a Love Interest. Avoid making the love interest a helpless pawn who has to be rescued all the time.
