Existentialist Egoism is a form of 
philosophical anarchism that emphasizes 
human subjectivity, the 
non-existence of social ideals, 
the prioritization of oneself, 
the freedom one already has, 
and the natural process of Darwinism's application to humanity evolutionarily and behaviorally.
Existentialism's Applications to Egoism 
Existentialist egoism takes the applications of 
Stirner's concept of "phantasms", and goes as far to say that they are not only immaterial concepts that unnaturally change human behavior, but also completely non-existent. This belief comes from the idea that concepts like 
morals, 
ethics, 
justice, 
private property, etc. can all be dictated by documents that certify them or expectations that society upholds, but in the truest form of reality they are nothing but fiction made in the minds of man. Existentialist egoism pushes its narrative so far, that even basic fundamentals in modern society like language, scripture, physics, and mathematics are fictional to the existential egoist. In the grand scheme of everything, no language, math equation, or book truly says anything except to those who understand it. It's like showing an infant that has not learned a single word, written or spoken, a dictionary. The baby does not understand the scripture, therefore the meaning of the scripture does not exist. (Physics is a strange exception, as while the reality of physics is present in our universe through physical means, it is not existent in the terms we use to understand it through equations.)
Nihilism fits into this since none of the universe has any inherent meaning with no significant cause. As a result, it can also be concluded that such concepts like morals, ethics, writing, etc. are meaningless. Nothing in the universe has any sort of inherent meaning, and believing that any sort of writing or morals has an objective code or understanding is absurd.
Existential egoism finds the concept of an Earth-centered universe that most religions idealize as appalling. Existentialist egoism takes a more exo-Earthly approach, and focuses on how the universe is not based on Earth solely. To an existential egoist, there is no reason to believe that such concepts like morals are truly an important aspect of life when no such concepts can truly exist anywhere else. Our conscious minds are not an excuse to come up with concepts that can restrict one of their natural universal freedoms.
Moralism has no place in existential egoism, as there is no such thing as objective morality or even the existence of morality. In an alternate universe, 
murder could be deemed as an acceptable act, while in our current existence it is deplorable. If these ideas can be existentially imagined, it is easy to conclude this means morality is a figment of man's imagination, and therefore unreal.
Do language, math, etc. shape the human mind like morals do in existential egoism? Yes. They do. Language may allow humans to articulate their thoughts, but they can still be shut down if their words are deemed unacceptable by society's (inconsistent) standards. Additionally, it has its limitations that prohibit certain ideas and create positive or negative connotations in the human mind that should not exist. On the other hand, math has allowed people to understand the universe as we know it, at least according to our (not) existing rules, but it still confines the nature of the universe to a watered-down "routine". On top of that, if a concept in physics, for example, does not meet these set standards, it becomes an "un-explainable" exception that needs to be discovered and the rules need to be mended. The universe was meant to function the way it does, and was not meant to be adapted for the human mind to satisfy its own desires, so there is no reason to adjust it for ourselves.
