[vchowqhx] Assumption of forgiveness

You do something not entirely sure whether it is permitted.  Under what conditions will you be forgiven?  Under what conditions can you expect to be forgiven?  Under what conditions do you expect to be forgiven?  What conditions might cause your assumptions be wrong?

Being shielded from downside risk game theoretically has tremendous implications for actions you rationally decide to take, as seen in economics and finance.

It probably depends very strongly the social groups of the wrongdoer and potential forgiver.  If you are "one of us" then you are easily forgiven.

In reverse, this mechanism can be used to delineate social boundaries.

Under what conditions is rape and sexual assault quickly forgiven?  Under what conditions is it not, heaping punishment on the attacker or shame on the survivor?
