When it comes to tastes of foods, reasonable people will realize, that people have different tastes, and it isn't about a right answer or wrong answer. I think when people say vanilla people are wrong or anything like that, they aren't be serious about it, they are just expressing what they like more. Not every statement is to be taken literally. Or if they are being literal, they are forgetful of the fact people have different tastes, or are illogical.
Anyways, what do you feel is the reasons you feel it is wrong? Do you feel it's just because of emotions created by evolution, etc., what is the basis.? And why do you feel like you don't know for sure it's wrong in an absolute manner?
I'm not trying to make a straw man, from what I understand, subjective morality just comes down to being a delusion. I'm not stating this is what you are stating.
I think to be objective, it must be based on an eternal absolute right opinion. This is one reason why I feel, if objective morality exists, then God exists for sure.
I have to disagree - because in a universe without any opinions, no conscious beings, then objective morality cannot exist.

That is the very definition of objectivity in this context. To be objective, it must exist independent of any opinion.
