But it's not actually an impossible situation. He was faced with a choice, yes, but that doesn't mean that it was an impossible choice.

Obviously, this is a weird conversation because it's a fictionalized version of a mythological narrative from two societies that are like 3000 years old and deeply different from our modern standards. But setting that aside for the moment, if we're going to judge based on the movie and our modern standards, then it's not an impossible choice at all. The risk of damaging your reputation is not a sufficient justification for slavery.

He was worried about destroying his family's dynasty,

And no one's saying he should have kept the Hebrews in slavery, but if Moses had handled things differently Rameses might have been able to come up with a solution where he didn't look like he was taking orders from another man's god.

And if the dynasty requires keeping people in slavery, let it die.

Moses probably could have made it easier on him. He still didn't make a morally acceptable choice.
