Swashbuckling thief/pirate/whatever types, if they're meant to be totes sympathetic and a hero. It pops up in basically every bit of pirate media ever, but the most irritating example I can think of is Isabela from Dragon Age.

She steals something and doesn't return it and a city is plunged into war, and her response is basically 'lol not my problem'. Then later she decides she wants a boat, so she lets a slaver go free, and no one has a problem with this after spending the past 30 hours opposing slavery? And all of this is hand-waved as her just liking freedom so gwarsh darn much.

But then shortly after all this Anders blows up a chantry and the narrative treats it as the worst thing anyone has ever done. Sparing slavers and causing the death of hundreds is okay if you're a pirate, apparently?

You do have a chance to not let her get away with it, though. You can choose to kill the slaver against her wishes, and you can give her to the Arishock (where your companions believe she'll be brainwashed into becoming a mindless laborer) as punishment for stealing the tome. Also, the reason why she had to steal the tome in the first place was basically a punishment from the aforementioned slaver... he was mad at her because she was supposed to transport a ship full of slaves, but she chose to free them instead.
