The standard definition of Antinatalism usually states that choosing to bring new sentient beings into existence is "ethically wrong."

But for someone who is an Existential Nihilist or an Absurdist - someone who doesn't believe in objective morality, or simply rejects the subjective, societal definitions of "right" and "wrong" - how does antinatalism make sense? If the universe is devoid of meaning and nothing is inherently "evil," how do we justify the anti-procreation stance without being hypocritical?
