"Dunce Cap Redemption" is the art of still managing to hook up with someone despite an obvious injury on your face, mostly likely occurring after a night of drinking. For example, a black eye from falling, or your best friend punching you. Or a head injury from getting scraped by a wall or tree branch. It requires great courage to express interest in a girl knowing she's looking at the stupid-ass self inflicted marks on your face, and winning her over in spite of looking like a dumb asshole is a significant event. It doesn't wash away your recent stupidity, but it sure does increase your confidence.
Bro #1: "Bro, is Justin really going home with her despite that gnarly wound on his face?"
Bro #2: " Dunce Cap Redemption at its finest".

Bro #3: He's still a dumbass though"

When an awful game actually becomes pretty good after awhile.

Named for No Man's Sky, a 2016 video game that was ridiculed upon its release because it was utter shite, with many people calling it one of the worst game of the decade...until 2019, when the game was actually finished. Now, it is a very popular game.
Fallout 76 is having a No Man's Redemption. Still a couple annoying bugs, but nonetheless it has improved greatly.

A Thursday night spent consuming alcohol with friends as to prove to them that your actions from the previous Thursday do not properly reflect your social well-being while under the influence.
"Abby will be attending a Redemption Thursday party tomorrow to make up for her poor demonstration of exhibiting alcohol tolerance last Thursday"

The act of giving a high quality blowjob as one’s last resort in saving a relationship. A true buzzer-beater move.
Christopher Nolan went over there to break up with Jessica Alba, but then she gave him the old redemption blowjob.

If you fail No Nut November but survive the next one, the NNN you failed in the previous year will be redeemed.
I survived this year's NNN and got a No Nut redemption for last year.

Confidential documentation of past transgressions for which one is contrite. This includes documentation of the evidence of your growth journey and restitution so concerned parties (like a company or board of directors) can be prepared in case you get called out for something that is actually old news and no longer a reflection of who you are today. It's an antidote for being called out for something you already served time for (literally or metaphorically) or that you have genuinely learned from. It's not guaranteed to prevent being cancelled, but it's better protection than being called out and pretending it never happened.
I submitted my redemption disclosure to my company today. I sure hope the people who saw me in blackface at that party in 1982 don't call me out.
