How do you think Fluttershy would feel about a nihilist or nihilism in general?

I feel oddly connected to this question.

Nihilism is, at it's core, an assertion that there is no inherent meaning to the world.

But many nihilists take this to it's completion to mean there is no inherent meaning in other people, and that is antithetical to kindness.

If Fluttershy was told "Life doesn't have an inherent purpose" she would probably just be confused. Sure, it might not, but what's the point of the statement? It's like saying Oxygen doesn't love you. It doesn't mean anything without context.

If someone used nihilism to justify an action or view, however, I imagine she would push back gently against it.

"Maybe nothing matters on its own. But I decided this matters to me."

Nihilism is philosophical, not actionable, if one still adheres to kindness, and Fluttershy doesn't seem like the kind of pony to put a lot of stock in things that can't be acted upon.

After googling what that is it sounds a lot like discord pre-reformation, so maybe have she felt about him, but maybe not to she didn't know much about this code after all
