Line 6:
Basically, a Nihilist that decides to be ''nice'', ''altruistic'', ''virtuous'' and/or ''ethical'' for the same reasons the [[Nietzsche Wannabe]] decides to be an [[The Unfettered|unfettered]], [[Social Darwinist]], [[Omnicidal Maniac|omnicidal]] [[Complete Monster]].
Instead of angsting all the time about "[[Crapsack World|Life is hell,]] [[Downer Ending|we're all gonna die]] [[You Can't Fight Fate|and you can't fight fate,]] [[Put Them All Out of My Misery|thus we might as well start killing each other right now]]", this type thinks more like "Life is hell, we're all gonna die and you can't fight fate... [[You Are Not Alone|but why not make each others' lives worthwhile and enjoyable in the meantime?]]" [[The Anti-Nihilist]] is usually a [[Knight in Sour Armor]] who knows how cynical the world is, but decides to stick to a particular value and ''make'' meaning out of it
The Anti-Nihilist is very likely to adhere to a [[Utilitarianism]] morality, although this isn't a universal rule; there are Anti-Nihilists whose morality might border on self-made [[Blue and Orange Morality]] (see the philosophy of [[Friedrich Nietzsche]]). Expect this declaration of defying nihilism to be uttered as a form of [[Shut UP, Hannibal|shutting up nihilists']] [[Hannibal Lecture|lectures]] [[Despair Speech|on Despair]] and how [[Humans Are Morons]]. Thus, very likely to take form as a [[World of Cardboard Speech|World-of-Cardboard]]/[[Patrick Stewart Speech]].
