You are arguing for God.
What makes something bad even if subjective agents don't know it's bad? Badness is a judgment that things are not as they should ideally be. Who/what makes that judgment, if not individual subjective agents, or a collection of agents through some mode of negotiation?
Rape is bad, for the individual being raped, because it is an offense to his/her liberty, health and dignity. Rape is bad, for the collective Western thinker, because we care about people's liberty, health and dignity, and because we care about the social contract which extends that liberty, health and dignity to each of us.
It may be that out there, somewhere in the ether, is some expression of intrinsic badness. But how, as a subjective agent, would you know? How, as a collective of subjective agents, would we ever distinguish those from subjective ones?
