Exploring the concept of people being Easily Forgiven for their mistakes and crimes in Webcomics.
- In a story told to Rowan in Boy and Dog, a troll puts a curse on some villagers and nearly starves most of them. Despite this, when he reforms, they invite them to their fondue party.
- Dragon Ball Multiverse has Son Bra, the version of Bra from a universe where Vegito never unfused and is her father. She joins Babidi's rebellion and kills most of the heroes and was only stopped after 'canon' universe Bra calls her passive. The heroes, after returning from where they were locked away, blames her father Vegito for her actions (and stops him from punishing her). Made all the more ridiculous because they're standing amidst the remains of her victims while doing so. And when Pan doesn't forgive Bra for brutally murdering her father, a close family friend, and dozens of others, it's treated as being childish and insensitive by her own father, one of Bra's victims.
- In Forest Hill after Benni almost kills Kaleb, neither Kaleb nor his mother, Flora, hold any anger towards Benni. Flora agrees to become Benni's foster parent after she finds proof that he was being abused, and Kaleb is willing to defend Benni against his own best friend, because that is how nice they are.
- Zigzagged in El Goonish Shive: After Justin receives
an apology from Diane for calling him a "defective male", he appears to easily forgive her with him claiming to not even remember the incident but accepting the apology anyway. The subsequent conversation with Nanase, however, makes it clear that he has Forgiven, but Not Forgotten; he just gave her credit for maturing ... credit that would be revoked if she ever regressed. - Subverted in A Joyful Life. Joy is surprised to find out that Aerie was fine with Joy using her as an excuse to avoid a confession, resulting in the boy harassing her because she had gotten something out of it too.
- Averted for Hunter and his actions as Joy chooses not to forgive him at all even speaking out against close people who would tell her she should've just kept quiet.
- Subverted in L's Empire. Everyone forgives Phala for her actions as the Pixl Queen. Everyone except her daughter, who was the one person she wanted forgiveness from. However, Indx's inability to forgive her mother doesn't stop her from saying she still loves her.
- Magick Chicks has a mutual case. Cerise grows so bitter towards Melissa's popularity and mistreatment of her, that she enslaves the entire school with mind control and attempts to murder Melissa and the entire student council. After a big fight, not only does Melissa forgive and apologize to her, Cerise happily accepts it and returns Melissa's hug. Faith is slightly less forgiving and lampshades it, but Melissa is able to use her new position as president of the Absurdly Powerful Student Council to order the school to forgive her.
- Manly Guys Doing Manly Things:
- Granted, given the circumstances (he had had Light Yagami's head crudely grafted onto his body) it could technically qualify as a Mercy Kill, but much to Jonesy's surprise Simon Belmont easily forgave her for putting a crossbow arrow through his neck, reasoning that it wasn't even the first time someone shot him and Romania has good healthcare anyway.
- When Jared accidentally dented Commander Badass's car, he just shrugged and said that it was easily fixed and finishing project cars take the fun out of them anyway, so might well hand them to a teen to damage.
- In Mitadake Saga, no-one really holds much of a grudge against Kazu, despite him killing someone. Truth in Television for those who play Mitadake High; very rarely will anyone call you out for killing someone if you thought they were the killer (or were pretending to). Although when this is averted, it is averted violently.
- Amical from morphE is exceptionally charming and relies on this trope a lot. It's is especially apparent with how Tyler went from growling out death threats to Amical after getting shot in the shoulder to being the most vocal supporter of him by the end of chapter 3.
- ''Mr. Boop: Alec and Betty towards Bugs Bunny for trying to kill Alec. later towards Sonic the Hedgehog for the same thing.
- Muh Phoenix: The Scarlet Witch has a much easier time being accepted as redeemed in this parody.
- The Order of the Stick:
- In strip 125 Belkar is trying to kill Elan. In strip 126 Belkar and Elan are chatting about multiclassing.
- Played with in this and this strips between Elan and Tarquin.
- General Tarquin mentions that no matter how many people Thog kills the audience still thinks he's lovable. Averted when Roy shows that he isn't going to forgive Thog so easily.
- Lampshaded by Lien when mutual Pollyannas Sunny & Elan are delighted that their respective sides are now "all friends!" Lien points out that they may be working together but they haven't forgotten being ambushed, tranquillized and imprisoned; however, Elan & Sunny's Puppy-Dog Eyes (nine of them in Sunny's case) quickly wear them down.
- In strip 125
- Sluggy Freelance:
- Particularly in the early strips, the cast was surprisingly tolerant of Aylee's human-eating tendencies and Bun-Bun's general sociopathic tendencies. They do eventually put their foot down on Aylee eating people and convince her to quit, but Bun-Bun still gets a mostly free pass for all the violent and manipulative things he's done, does, and will do. Of course, that might just be because he'd kill them all if they tried to get tough with him. Better to keep the switchblade-wielding bully on their side.
- There is a brief part in the Cannibals Anonymous Storyline in which, after Aylee upset Zoe by serving a human for Thanksgiving, Torg fired her, but later accepted her back after she worked on improving herself, in which the seriousness of her activities is mentioned to a degree.Aylee: I suppose there are some things saying sorry can't fix.
Riff: Like murder.
[a moment of silence follows as Aylee reflects on this]
- Subverted in Sorcery 101 with the vampire Comedic Sociopath Seth. Danny shrugs off antics like Seth immolating a thief who'd left him Chained to a Bed with only token objection, is only slightly annoyed with him for getting his friends' five-year-old daughter drunk and reading her horror novels, and even helps Seth out after he breaks Danny's arm and threatens him. Then he learns that Seth can control his mind, memories, and emotions at will. Once he has a Psychic Block Defense put in place, his response flips to a retroactive You Bastard! and a Force bolt.
- Sweet Home (2017):
- Hyein killing the Mysterious Girl and attacking Yuri are very quickly ignored by the other survivors. It's justified since they have much more important things to be worrying about.
- Ihyun doesn't even blink when Hyuk confirms Hyunshik and Gapsu are dead and goes straight to getting ready to defend everyone's lives. It's again justified by the fact that there's many more important things to deal with.
- unOrdinary: After hospitalizing them—and a bunch of other students—Remi and Isen are willing to treat John as just another student and prospective Safe House member without holding his violent rampage against him, though he could have easily killed several of his victims even with their society's advanced medical care. Blyke on the other hand does not forgive or forget what John's done, and points out how lucky he is that Remi and Isen are willing to forgive him the way they have.
