===Influence on the American Library Association===
===Influence on the American Library Association===
Nietzsche's nihilistic writings, in particular his infamous screed of "God is dead" and that humanity has no common good to which everyone was responsible, formed the basis of the American Library Association's radicalization, even diverging from another influential figure in their radicalization, [[John Stuart Mill]]'s insistence that they protect people from harm.<ref>http://www.eagleforum.org/educate/1996/feb96/focus.html<br />"The ALA [American Library Association] has rejected this idea [from John Stuart Mill] of the Right to Protect and has instead accepted the nihilistic ideas of the 19th century German philosopher, Friedrick Nietsche, who preached the now-familiar refrain that "God is dead" and that there is no common good to which we are all responsible."</ref>

===Other influences===
Owing to his being one of the more well-known nihilistic philosophers, Nietzsche's works also influenced two franchises dealing with post-modernist thought, the first being [[The Matrix Trilogy]] by [[The Wachowskis]] (at the time known as the Wachowski Brothers), with their specifically citing that Nietzsche's works on anthropomorphisms and metronyms were influential on the Matrix trilogy and their own philosophies to such an extent that they even considered themselves within "the dominion of truth."<ref>http://www.equip.org/article/the-matrix-unloaded-revelations/</ref><ref>Peter Bart, “Cracking the Wachowski’s Code,” Variety.com, May 25, 2003.</ref><ref>http://variety.com/2003/film/columns/cracking-the-wachowskis-code-1117886840/</ref> The other influence was on the ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' video game series by [[Hideo Kojima]], which was speculated as early as the Piggyback Strategy Guide for ''Metal Gear Solid 3'' as being inspired by Nietzsche's "The Eternity of the Same", and also featured at the beginning of a key story chapter in ''Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain'' Nietzsche's quote of "There are no facts, there are only interpretations."
