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?

Any turd can make an apology. Let me know when he does something to fix the damage he caused.
Damage? No matter how you feel about the man personally damage is absolutely not the word I’d use. And in the first place what do you want him to do?
What articulable damage did he cause by doing what every single person in voice chat circa 2005 did?
Helping to make it acceptable, laying the footwork for shit like Gamergate, and helping funnel young men to the alt right.
At least he has an army to defend him. That’s what all rich people that never suffer consequences could ever hope for.
All of those events were after gamergate… and it was already acceptable which was the problem.
And I’m not defending him, I’m correcting the timeline for you ridiculous people. You newcomers to the internet genuinely have no idea what the pre-iphone internet was like, especially gaming communities. PewDiePie was always on the safer child friendly side.
If we forget what progress has been made and demonize everyone that has corrected their mistakes were just stuck with you people. And you people just suck. You’re not actually inclusive, you’re not actually offensive, you just confirm to whatever you think will not get you in trouble. Aka the original meaning of politically correct; being nice on the surface without meaning any of it.
I’ve been using the internet since 56k modems was the only option, chud
You are definitely defending him, and those that act like him. You’re saying it’s okay to be a shit person as long as you apologize while changing nothing. Go take a hard look in the mirror.
Except he did change his content, has made more contributions to charity than you have, and has done more than what’s asked.
And I can guarantee your first website interaction was Facebook based on your beliefs. Nothing he did was outrageous, the actions were misplaced in time by ten years. Should he have been more mature? Sure. But no one that grew up on the internet would find his humor shocking or really any more offensive than south Park.
In your eyes as long as someone makes a mistake their evil for life, well let’s execute everyone over 20 then. We all know what forums were like. We all know what voice chats were like.
Fun fact, people can change their beliefs over time. Something you should understand if you truly believe PewdiePie has meaningfully changed.
How has he corrected his mistakes?
