Being a murderer is not a personal quality, it's a fact about a past action.

How's this distinction relevant here.

Ethics is always consensual.

So if I don't consent to your no murder rule, it doesn't apply to me and I can murder whoever I want?

Yes, though the police "can" arrest you after you do so, people "can" stop associating with you once you've announced you don't consent to that rule, and so on.
