so what is the objective ethical system like?

Morality isn't arbitrary it's fucking gay and won't help you when I come for your faggot ass.

>>14146431
Virtue ethics

All moral agents have share a common experience, therefore they share a need for ethics
That being said nothing is stopping you from creating whatever the fuck sort of ethics you want

>>14146438
how is the concept of virtue not subject to varying interpretations? and who gets to decide what is and what is not a virtue?

>>14146417
When people say this they probably just mean social customs outside of right and wrong. I'm sure if you present them with situations that offend them morally and say "well this is considered okay where it's practiced" they would respond with "that doesn't make it right" or "that's not what I meant".

>I can't personally reproduce the arguments I support.

>>14146417
This is true.

>Morality is subjective

A hyena is a traditional position in some parts of southern Malawi, held by a man who initiates young women into adulthood through sex. A hyena is a man paid to have sex with children between the ages of 12–17, as a part of a rite of passage called "kusasa fumbi" ('brushing off the dust')[(sexual cleansing). The rite lasts for three days. Hyenas are paid from $4 to $7 each time. The rite is believed to prevent disease.

if your high bar means greentexting my posts with a basedak image attached then you clearly are a misfit here, perhaps /int/ would suit your better :^)
