Good and bad are subjective... but subjectivity is only subjective from the point of view of others i.e. epistemologically.... ontologically speaking all subjectivity is as objective as anything else. In fact it may be the most objective thing of all ontologically: in the sense that our own subjectivity is the one thing we can 100% know for sure exists.
Subjectivity is ultimately all that matters because it is mattering itself. What matters to me is what subjectively matters to me, what matters to others is what subjectively matters to them. And that's objectively true.
Sure I can't prove they exist apart form myself... but they still exist in my own consciousness even if not in their own. What matters to me is all that matters to me, what matters to others is all that matters to others but sometimes what matters to ourselves is others... I dunno I guess I don't understand what makes morality not objective. It's not universal. But universal =/= objective.
