According to Tyrion, Jaime Lannister finally decided to kill Aerys Targaryen during the Sack of King's Landing because he found out that Aerys had stashed a massive amount of wildfire underneath the Sept. So despite years of madness and cruelty, this singular plot was enough to convince Jaime to stab Aerys in the back to prevent the death of civilians. I'd imagine that was also the reason why Robert Baratheon kept Jaime in the Kingsguard.
In S06E10, Cersei Lannister ordered for the wildfire to be ignited, and thus, killed thousands (?) of innocents. One could argue that Jamie's love for her prevented him from speaking out, but what about everyone else? It seems that no one has said anything about the mass murder, and Cersei's infamy remained at a similar level.
In fact, in season 7, Daenerys and Jon Snow were even willing to enter into negotiations with Cersei for a truce. Even Randyll Tarly, who spoke about not being oathbreakers and backstabbers, didn't mention this when pledging fealty to Cersei and House Lannister.
So, why is everyone giving Cersei a pass, including her allies?
