* In ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/291812/sunset-reset Sunset Reset]]'', Sunset insists that she doesn't deserve to be an alicorn because [[BeAllMySinsRemembered she's done so much wrong]] and alicorns by their nature are meant to be perfect. Cadance, sick of Sunset's self-deprication, tells her to shut up. Sunset may have anger issues, but she's hardly the only flawed alicorn; Cadance is a coward who can't sleep alone, Celestia is a raging narcicist, and Twilight's hero worship crosses the line into sycophantry at times.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Ultrakill}}'', the Testaments at the end of almost every secret level outline God's turmoil in the backstory. [[spoiler:He has spent countless cycles trying and failing to create a mind without free will, believing it to be [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill the biggest flaw with humanity]]. Out of frustration, He creates Hell, and quickly regrets it upon realizing that Hell itself is [[GeniusLoci a living organism]] which is far too powerful to be unmade. Then He banishes Lucifer there upon being questioned about why humanity deserved to suffer, another decision which soon wracks Him with guilt]]. The end result of all this is [[spoiler:God disappearing from Heaven (if not having [[GodIsDead outright died]]), leaving a corrupt CouncilOfAngels to rule in His stead]].

* The ''Series/Lucifer2016'' series "[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/2551156 Alleged City of Angels]]" has God admitting that the scale of humans who end up in Hell is basically the result of a design flaw on his part; the system was meant to banish people to Hell if they felt guilty, but God didn't take into account that some people can feel guilty over things that weren't their fault or things they've essentially atoned for before their deaths.

* ''TabletopGames/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'': Most of the gods in the settings are [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Deities Of Mortal Origin]], and becoming divine hasn't removed any of their mortal foibles. Nagash is a petty tyrant, Gorkamorka is a shortsighted BloodKnight, Teclis is arrogant, and Allarielle has a hard time caring about anything that isn't a tree. Sigmar himself is unique in that he ''recognizes'' his flaws, and the fact that most of the problems in the setting are at least partially his fault, and he's trying to fix them. He often makes his Stormcast Eternals ''very'' uncomfortable when he openly acknowledges this, as they'd rather think of him as the perfect and flawless being he knows he isn't.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Volume 6 flashbacks reveal that it's only after [[BigBad Salem]] has been [[BarredFromTheAfterlife punished]] with CompleteImmortality that it occurs to her that she successfully manipulated the gods and accidentally pitted them against each other. She concludes that they're not infallible and therefore can be opposed. She manipulates monarchs with the promise of immortality and raises an army to [[RageAgainstTheHeavens take down the gods]]. [[spoiler:However, humanity is no match for the beings that created them and gave them their gifts, such as magic. The God of Darkness takes back the magic from humanity, then wipes outs the entire race except for Salem. The two gods depart with the God of Light saying that they will reflect on the mistakes they have made while Salem should reflect on hers.]]

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Godfellas" explores the idea of one being acting as God to many less powerful ones, neither of which is perfect:
** Bender gets a colony of tiny people living on his body. Even when he tried to be a benevolent god, he screwed up so badly that they all died in the end.
** The nebula that Bender believes is God is powerful and rational, but doesn't seem to remember its own possibly artificial origins and is highly suggestible on the matter. [[NotSoOmniscientAfterAll It is incredibly knowledgeable but far from omniscient]], and initially uncertain where the Earth is in the universe. It's possible he was simply pretending to prevent unnecessary effects occurring. He explained just how difficult it is to be God-do too much and the people become dependent on you, do too little and they stop believing in you. He explains the only way to do things right is make it so no one can be sure if you did anything. As he set up the ending so that they would go back and save the monks, it's implied his seeming faults were merely another part of his act.
** The Beast With A Billion Backs is about an EldritchAbomination that rules Heaven (which is actually a Fluffy-Cloud EldritchLocation and angels are non-sentient birds shaped like people). Despite being all-loving, shkle's crippled by jealousy and immediately ban everyone because ''one guy'' sent a letter to his friend, accidentally breaking the strange 'no relationships with other universes' rule.
