Last I heard, Pewdiepie has been trying to pass it off as jokes, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. (And whether or not he's "a nazi" deep in his heart doesn't matter. He's doing and spreading naziism.)
He made that as a waful joke, to the point even his fans also asking him to stop making those edgy jokes. He used to make N-word or any edgy joke because he was toxic gamer mentality. I remember seeing a total backlash on Pewdiepie official subreddit.
After the incident, he stopped making any edgy jokes. All of his content in the past half decade are basically wholesome or hobbyist stuff. He also recognize his mistake on several occasion.
Not gonna watch the alt-right fetishist just because his mask is back on. Hard pass.
People can change. Not everyone is born aware of the seriousness of making that kind of joke.
I personally don't follow him so I don't personally have an opinion on whether he has changed, but I believe that people have the capability.
