'Then who gets to decide what's ethical?' isn't a gotcha response to opposition to cultural relativity. It misses the point completely.

I suppose you could have a moral principle that a stereotypical majority opinion is always morally right but that isn't really what happens.

What is really looks like is defending a v conservative status quo for other cultures while despising ur own quite liberal 1 as conservative

I think I disagree. Morality of actions depends on descriptions of them, which are typically context-dependent.

No, it doesn't. Whether you call throwing a gay man off a roof 'hatred & murder' or 'mercy & justice' the wrongness does not change
-
What if the person throwing him off the roof is a child? There is implicit context. And there are plenty of examples that do translate well

Then that would still be the same whichever cultural context it occurred in.
