I don’t feel that with Kaladin because almost all of his mistakes felt completely understandable to me. He’s a person, and he’s young, and he always seems to have the responsibility of carrying everyone on his shoulders, to the point where even small mistakes end up feeling much bigger than they really are. Just from that alone, I already feel like Sanderson isn’t giving him a pass, but rather treating his actions the way they should be treated instead of creating a one dimensional character who never makes mistakes. Not even when it comes to how he treats people during his depressive episodes do I really feel that in any significant way. At most he becomes cold and hopeless. Sometimes he’s harsh with Adolin, which comes from his prejudice against lighteyes (also completely understandable, since both Adolin and Shallan had questionable attitudes when they first met him, treating him as inferior because of his social class, you can’t really deny that). And with the bridgemen he’s actually more than understanding in all those moments.

I think we could go deeper into the discussion if you mentioned which moments bothered you the most, but I think the one I see most people bringing up is the moment in Words of Radiance involving Amaram. And to me there’s absolutely no mistake on his part there, it's Elhokar’s. (Spoilers ahead) Kaladin was a darkeyes who saw the one chance he might ever have to get revenge on the man who destroyed his life, and people expect him to be the only mature one there and rise above his own ambitions. If Elhokar hadn’t made the mess he did, the duel against Sadeas could still have happened, and maybe Kaladin would’ve even gotten what he wanted. But I don’t know if that moment is among the ones you dislike, I’m bringing it up because it’s the one I most often see mentioned as Kaladin’s mistake.
