I've already laid out how and in what ways harm is objective. That qualifies for objectivity, or mind independence, as moral theorists are discussing it. So that's just..frankly, that.
If it still doesn't qualify to you, well..okay, but you're not talking about the same thing that moral theorists are..so..so what? Maybe ethical objectivity is, in some other sense, subjective..maybe everything we think is....it simply doesn't matter if this is true. This is a hard wall for subjectivity and subjectivist objections. They can go no further, and on the grounds of ethical objectivity, harm succeeds as objective.
