Entertaining how to react to fictional atrocities is useful in shaping our real-world responses to actual atrocities.

Entertaining for the people who are certain that they're not a member of an arbitrarily defined group. Whether their certainty is well-placed is a different problem, I guess.

I’m using the word entertaining as a verb. It’s a synonym of considering.

My mistake, I misread.
I agree that discussion is important in deciding responses, but discussions like these are also used as testing grounds for gauging acceptability. It's how places like 'active clubs' recruit and promote far-right extremism, they start with gauging the response to lower-level discrimination and slowly escalate to larger acts.
