Because it is an oft misunderstood and complex philosophical concept that's often not really workable into an RPG of fantasy fun, scifi adventures, or modern gritty setting.

becuase its not fun starting out at level 50
and rolling wisdom for damage on lock picking
then creating your character after it kills a bugbear.

Roleplay relies heavily on continutity and narrative not to mention the rules of the game. all of of which nihilism don't really care about.

nihilism believes that there are no absolutes.
surrealism is just a part of nihilism

its an -ism you tie on to other intellectual fields. Like feminism.

Yeah complaining about criticism as 'harassment,' on your blog to the united nation doesn't sound to intellectual to me.
