I think what you are pointing at is more heroic responsibility, unless you think that being unaware of something by choice actually lets you off the hook. I’m guessing you think it doesn’t? If you think it does then say more.
The Good Place’s ability to assign (at least in my book) shockingly accurate point totals to actions is the best case for the existence of objective morality I’ve ever seen, but yes we’re all fully aware it is fiction. I’m using it as a way to illustrate a mode of thinking, and to recommend a great show, nothing more.
If one is even slightly curious about the world, it’s very hard to be unaware of suffering by choice. I don’t have much of a theory of morality for the un-curious. And I do include “reasonably inferred” as suffering that you will share in your perception, so deniability doesn’t let you off the hook (and my version isn’t about other’s judgement of your reasons anyway, it’s about your actual experiences and choices).
