** Arguably, Lelouch does this to Rolo: [[spoiler: as Rolo is dying, he tells Lelouch that he knew Lelouch was lying about trying to kill him; Lelouch "admits" that Rolo is right to allow him a peaceful death]]. The alternate interpretation is that [[spoiler:Lelouch actually ''did'' forgive Rolo [[HeroicSacrifice at that point]], and considered him a brother]].
** This also applies to how the other Black Knights view his relationship with C.C. While they assume she's his DarkMistress she's in fact far from it, but he doesn't bother to correct them. C.C., on the other hand, tries to set the record straight with Tamaki, but he doesn't believe her.

* ''Manga/HandsomeGirlAndCrossdressingBoy'': When his sister Sayuri sees Iori's computer screen on a website selling women's clothing, she assumes he has a girlfriend and is buying something for her.

* In ''Manwha/TheSaintessHasAShowdown'', the palace's inhabitants were shocked when their local hero was only able to summon a weak water elemental as her {{familiar}}. Then they concluded that said elemental must really be the rare, super-powerful Water Emperor, and Gong (who would rather die than admit to ''any'' inadequacy on her part) said nothing to refute them.

** Later during the Wano arc, Denjiro commends Kin'emon for purposely misdirecting the potential traitor by telling him the meeting place in Yasuie's message was Tokage port, and not the wharf of Hato port. Kin'emon says that was his strategy all along, but thinks to himself "I got the message completely wrong".

When Luffy misunderstands that Den is "a shipwright who's coating Franky's brother", Franky doesn't even try to argue and just rolls with it.

* PlayedForDrama in ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''. After he and his team are rescued from the Beast Titan's attack on Castle Utgard by reinforcements and taken to Wall Rose, Reiner [[spoiler:admits that's he's the Armored Titan and that Bertholdt is the Colossal Titan to Eren to try to convince Eren to come with them.]] However, Eren refuses to believe it, suggesting that Reiner is only saying that because he is exhausted and points out the FridgeLogic in what Reiner's telling him. At that time, Bertholdt, who is with the two of them, attempts to salvage the situation and latches onto the suggestion the moment Eren presents it. Reiner then proceeds to play along [[ShellShockedVeteran with a haunted look on his face.]] However, this attempt quickly falls apart as Reiner enters into a guilt-induced rambling due to [[spoiler:[[SplitPersonality having developed a split personality disorder]], before removing his sling [[WhamShot as steam emits from]] [[GoodThingYouCanHeal his now-rapidly healing arm]], revealing that Reiner was telling the truth the whole time and that he is a titan shifter]]. It all goes downhill from there.

** Later during the Wano arc, Denjiro commends Kin'emon for purposely misdirecting the potential traitor by telling him the meeting place in Yasuie's message was Tokage port, and not the wharf of Hato port.
