Alternate names: Infallible protagonist
Name variations: infallibility

In case the player does something wrong (intentionally or not), either everyone ignores it or notes what they did was essentially wrong, but because it was You who did it, there must be a good reason for it and they self-delude themselves into this.

For example:
* Player steals something vital from someone, they inform the player that they really need it, but consent that the player must have a good reason for taking it and it's therefore quite reasonable sacrifice on his part and there's nothing wrong in what the player did, since after all, you're infallible. (essentially: the unseen bigger plan they're convinced to exist)

Note that cases where player's deeds go largely ignored should not count for inclusion.
In contrast, cases where the protagonist is treated as infallible and really can't do anything wrong (the game won't allow it), do count for this tag (though the inability to do wrong should be noted).
