Tattoos in certain cultures are straying from the norm, so are man buns, wearing jeans, etc...
So when you say x is bad, is this basically what your saying, that I'm straying from the norms of my particular society, like you might say of tattoos?
How about when claiming the holocaust is immoral/bad. Is this just based based on the social norms of your society, but not wrong for German society at the time? Judging that your had different social norms than them, does this means there's nothing objectively wrong about the holocaust, just like there's nothing objectively wrong about having a tattoo?
Should i interpret your moral statesmen about right or wrong, as your iterating the actions behaviors that achieve social approval and esteem in your particular society?
If you’re honest, you'd probably say no it's not like this. That good and bad mean something different than straying from the norm, and try and jump to some other basis as a justification.
