The challenge to awesome theory is the same one it has been for 70 years: Posit a world in which Hitler conquered the world instead of shooting himself in his bunker. Explain how that Hitler was not awesome. Don’t look at his outcomes and conclude they were not awesome because lots of innocent people died. Awesome doesn’t care how many innocent people died. They were not awesome. They were pathetic, which is the opposite of awesome.
Can’t we resolve this simply by amending the statement to “Morality is awesome for everybody.” Dying pathetically is not an awesome outcome for the people who had to do it. Arguing that innocent people were pathetic actually emphasizes the point. If Hitler’s actions made tons of people pathetic instead of awesome then those actions were most certainly immoral.
Incidentally, I do not expect nyan_sandwich to retitle the OP based on my comment. I think that the “for everybody” part can probably just be implicit.
