Where you think you're taking this is a mystery.
Moral realism makes a claim. Insomuch as this claim can be shown to be demonstrably true, it is right. Is there some other kind of rightness you're looking for?
I -can't- pick any old thing I like and dub it a moral fact. Moral realism is very restrictive in that. Moral subjectivity offers this, but not moral realism. Further, things that are morally subjective are not arbitrary. Jesus H Christ, lol.
