I don't think most antinatalists are existential nihilists. They attribute value to suffering. Most ANs contend that suffering is a moral & ethical issue & that suffering should be minimized is the highest priority. Nihilists contend that nothing is of value.

Aren't you vegan? Vegan for animal rights? That would be a case in point. You wish to reduce suffering by not eating animals & causing their harm. Altho, veganism really has nothing to do with AN. But it shows you are a moralist, not a nihilist.

There are many varieties of existentialism. Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre & so on. But I think they all ascribed to some kind of value system, no? Nietzsche was always talking about a re-valuation of values, in light of the awareness that God is dead.
