With PewDiePie switching to Linux, I’ve seen more and more post with him and they often get locked.
What moral failings did he commit, and has he done anything to make up for them?

He grew up on the internet during the wild West period, with that being his point of reference for social acceptability. He didn’t evolve with the rest of the internet as more diverse groups and more ‘moral’ groups changed what was acceptable.
His three major incidents were saying the n word, wearing an SS uniform when doing a response video to an article writer that called him a Nazi, and getting some fiverr people to write a sign that said ‘kill all jews’ by taking advantage of the fact they apparently didn’t speak English. He’s apologized for all but the middle multiple times and essentially left most of the internet after having his kid.
But since we’re in the era of the internet we’re in, nothing is ever forgotten or forgiven no matter what, and with the rise of actual Nazis across the world anyone that ever made edgy jokes or used inappropriate language has generally been swept up in it.
That all being said he’s not exactly a great person, despite his massive charity work, he’s just another entertainer, like all the rest. No better or worse than your average random person that got money and wealth way too young.
Okay the others are pretty bad but this one is actually funny.
Nah all of them were Funny, just not to everyone. I 100% understand why the bridge video pissed people off though cause that wasnt Even him making jokes but rather a crude slip of tongue
My dude, the Internet he grew up in wasn’t the wild west. You make it seem like anything pre-2016 was the wild west when it absolutely was not. He absolutely knew what he was doing, just because he chose to associate with a certain culture doesn’t absolve him of what happened because of it. You could, AND STILL CAN, go find communities that are like what he was about…
You’re doing a lot of revisionist history for a grown ass man doing grown ass shit.
I mean fuck me, i’ve been on the net since the earliest days and that nazi edgelord shit always got your arse kicked
