No. His philosophy, (real) Nihilism, is basically that nothing matters at all. As such, there's no reason to make a big deal out of things like gender, race or economic status. I though Nihilism was that nothing matters so if you killed one or one thousand you didn't have to feel anything. Because everyone's life is nothing in the grand scheme of the universe. A lot of villains like Joker and Kefka and Mr. Manhattan were into Nihilism, right? If that's not Nihilism what is it? Is the Nihilism of villains the bastardized version of what he taught? The one the sister misconstrued?
