All a moral subjectivist needs to claim..is that our moralities are subjective...which they obviously and demonstrably are, not there there is no or cannot be any objective morality. A moral objectivist can also hold this opinion...and in fact does hold this opinion. Religious moral theorists -also- hold this opinion...they think that all of those other™ moralities are subjective...theirs being the special case.
Ultimately, even if there were an objective morality, we would still only have subjective access -to- it. This is why objective moral theorists refer to something called "super rationality" and "relevantly whole knowledge" in order to make comments on any potential objective morality. We, as human beings, possess neither of those things in the best of times...we certainly don;t have an ounce of either in unfamiliar and stressful moral considerations. It;s hard enough just to employ what we -do- have in nuanced moral considerations.
Our boy, for example, thought fruit was a moral safe space.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
