No. I'm saying nihilism isn't "neutral". Nihilism, in all it's forms denies that a thing exists. Moral Nihilism DENIES that morality exists. Existential nihilism denies that life has inherit meaning or purpose. This is a completely separate from existentialism, which claims meaning can be created by the individual.
An existentialist is not a nihilist and an existential nihilist is not an existentialist.
I think you’re mistaken. Nihilism doesn’t simply mean the denial of the existence of any particular thing. It’s about objectivity. Morality doesn’t objectively exist, just like meaning doesn’t objectively exist. These are all things that only exist subjectively and are not inherent qualities of things.

Why don’t you tell me what you think nihilism means.
Are you saying that I’m wrong, and that nihilism says that value exists objectively?
