You can just say “I have never read anything about metaethics.” It’s shorter and more honest.

I'm on Clearer Thinking chatting with @SpencrGreenberg about utilitarianism, metaethics, and artificial intelligence. If you'd like to better understand utilitarianism and its appeal, this is a good place to start! (No shrimp were harmed in the making of this podcast.)

The lecturer who made a lasting impression on me on the need to decolonize my mind was my project supervisor, Prof JOJ Agbada. I had wanted to write on metaethics focusing on only two Shakespearean works. He removed one and replaced with a masterpiece: The voice (Gabriel Okara)❤️

I like Subahibi a lot don't get me wrong. But it pretends to be way deeper and then it actually is. Just mentioning and explaining certain philosophies doesn't turn your story into a master's thesis of metaethics.
what visual novel opinion will get you in this situation?
