Contested PROD This is a term which is not used in philosophy sources as far as I have seen, certainly the sources cited don't use it. It seems to be original research or at least synth, and I think it was a very interesting read but probably the wrong forum. I found one use of it in a psychoanalysis journal- I don't have the full text to link to, but the name of the article is 'Anal sexuality and male subcultures online: The politics of self-deprecation in the deep vernacular web'. Overall, this is not a term used in reliable sources and this article is synthesis, drawing from poetry and philosophy to introduce this term. An IP editor also noted this in the page history.

Delete per WP:MADEUP - This is very clearly nothing, even accounting for the misspelling in the typo, "thanatotic nihilism" gets no results from jstor and only two in google scholar. It's unclear why anyone would WP:RFUD this, it shows a complete lack of judgement. - car chasm (talk) 01:25, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
